"An urban respite often called Bangkok's 'Central Park,' Lumphini Park features an artificial lake with swan-shaped paddle boats, a popular jogging track that fills early morning and at sunset, playgrounds and vendors selling water and fresh fruit, free Sunday-evening concerts by the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra in cooler months, and a resident population of giant (mostly harmless) monitor lizards that slither in and out of the lake." - Katie Lockhart, Diana Hubbell
