"For some me time, I go for a run here and to see the monitor lizards—“of which there are thousands all around”—wandering among people doing tai chi. This 57-hectare green oasis, Bangkok’s first public park, offers flora, fauna, and a large lake right in the middle of town. I love its quirky, relaxing vibe, its history of parties and ballroom dancing, and the statue of King Rama VI—proof that nature and the city can coexist." - Pruepat 'Maprang' Songtieng
