The most beautiful parks and gardens Thailand

With its 58 hectares of greenery and lakes, it is the largest park in the city and the most appreciated by Thais. It has between 10,000 and 15,000 visitors per day! In the centre is an artificial lake. Miles of tree-lined paths make you forget the city of Bangkok. Early in the morning, we meet many joggers, groups practicing tai chi or doing aerobics (crazy laughter guaranteed by watching groups wiggle to music that is far too loud). After the exercise, a few walk to stands selling blood and snake bile to regain their strength. Various beverage and food stands also offer more common dishes. The Bangkok Symphony Orchestra performs outdoors every Sunday from December to January, but other events regularly take place in the park. In the northern part of the park, by crossing one of the small bridges that allows you to leave the island, you may see a debonair monitor of quite beautiful size (more than one meter!) that heats up in the sun in the late afternoon. Lumpini is a stopover not to be missed to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and to soak up the daily life of the local population. It is also here that the celebration of Loy Krathong in the Thai capital is the most interesting to experience. There are entrances on Rama IV Road, Sarasin Road, Witthayu Road and Ratchadamri Road. Close to the main entrance, buses departing for casinos in Cambodia.

The office is in the centre of Chiang Mai and the training site is 50 km away from the town in the middle of the jungle. Transfers from Chiang Mai are included in the vacation packages. It is a good way to discover Asian elephants, the importance to preserve them by feeding them, the bath as well as physical training methods. During the trainings, you will learn how to control the animal, how to bathe it and to ride it across the jungle. It is important to be well equipped before going through this experiment. Trousers and sandals are highly advised as well as mosquito repellent and a sun screen lotion. This agency is very serious and should be privileged as it is doing much for the preservation and well-being of Thai elephants. 

This huge park, 17 km from the center of Pattaya, includes a tropical garden composed of rare exotic plants, a French garden and orchid garden with a true collection of 670 listed species (specialized research center on hybrids). An hour's cultural show takes place four times a day (including traditional dances). Also an elephant exhibition involving the public and a mini zoo… What to attract interest!

Chatuchak Park, inaugurated in December 1980, is one of Bangkok's oldest parks. It was then enhanced with Queen Sirikit Park and Wachirabenchatat Park, although they are separated from Chatuchak Park by Kampaeng Phet Street. It is all in length and has an artificial lake, and several small bridges connect each shore. It is the ideal place for a picnic, jogging or cycling. A small train museum is located on site. Very popular on weekends, especially because of its proximity to the Chatuchak market.

When the town's inhabitants want some peace and quiet and want to get some fresh air, they head for the developed shores of the lake. It is also the place of predilection of the sportsmen when the heat is not too overpowering. It is a privileged place for a picnic in the shade of a tree. Small restaurants and street food stands are scattered here and there, including the famous Bua Luang north of the lake. Many temples are also located on the shores.
