Lumpini Park BANGKOK gets makeover to mark 100th anniversary 🇹🇭 Thailand

[@klausw.5612]

The one and only park in Bangkok for me 😊, the first I visited decades ago. There are many more in BKK😅for sure 👍🏼🇹🇭🙏😎💯💜

[@kamolhengkiatisak1527]

The reason cycling is allowed from 10 am to 3 pm is to share the space with walkers/runners who usually exercise in the morning and late afternoon as there is not dedicated bike path. If you want to ride at any time, go to nearby Benjakitti park as there is dedicated bike path. There is a green overhead walkway that links the two parks together. The statute at the entrance is King Rama VI who donated land to build the first public park in Siam about 150 years ago to emulate Hyde Park in England as the King when he was a prince studied in a boarding school in England for several years. Lumpini Park is world famous for its water lizards, some could be as long as 3 meters! But park goers seem not to be afraid of them and there is no report of the animal attacking people in the park.

Whenever I watch one of your video's I get the feeling I'm looking at someone who is enjoying a lifetime holiday lol. Thanks for this vid, looking forward to an update later.

[@gertdrok9016]

Very Nice to see this Update of the Park. Long time not been there. 🙏

[@mrmartin2079]

Re the Dusit “ spike “ I read on the Dusit website that the old one is indeed on the top of the new hotel but it’s actually encased inside a new taller spike And there will be a small space/ museum dedicated to the original hotel somewhere at or near the top floor area - I always loved visiting the old DT

[@WanderingYogiThailand]

Smooth rider! Thank you for your videos each day. Currently in Isaan.

[@annecy49]

That was a long awaited update, Jeoren, thanks so much!

[@banjemine4150]

Thanks Jeroen! Always good seeing you on your Sunday morning bicycle rides, especially around the park!

[@Kellyjv77]

One Bangkok is looking GORGEOUS!! As expected. And what a great place to watch the progress from. 👍🏼 Has construction begun on the biggie Signature tower yet? I guess that will be the cherry on top! 😉😄Saving the best for last! Again thanks millions for these updates. My 1000 days countdown to moving over there starts November! Can't wait! 🙏🏼🇹🇭 ❤️🤍💙🤍❤️

[@majorkade]

Hi/So Rooftop Bar, The Water Club @ SO & the rooftop bars on the 9th floor of Silom Edge mall are wonderful spots for viewing the park and nearby construction projects.

Dinosaurs in the beginning are so fantastic!

[@revesdungarcon]

Hope the night market and live band would be brought back to Lumpini Park like they did 2 decades ago ❤

[@globaltravelmate]

The One Bangkok Project with 9 high rise towers is now on the location of the old market.

[@Kashif8571]

Thanks for the update Jeroen 😆

[@majorkade]

Love this video!

[@kevinlawless8980]

Great content

[@LearningPointsDD]

Wow, it is an amazing park.

[@jf-be4zy]

Thanks for the report. I have been there many times.

[@mtx1389]

I'll be appreciate to see the other park near Jatujak market thank you anyway

[@lucca_lee]

Don't expect too much from the new renovation. The new governor prioritizes paying off the BTS debt rather than spending money on something else because the budget will be limited. The former governor had planned to spend a billion baht on a makeover of Lumphini Park, aiming to transform it into a world-class public park like Benjakitti for its 100th anniversary, as he claimed. However, this renovation will be on a budget and won't be anything extraordinary.

[@wayonyardceniza586]

Love it❤❤❤

[@harrypalmer1]

I walked through last November, and hopefully again next Nov. I hope Pat has been looking after the cats while the construction is going on lol.

I like how you don’t have filler music when you’re not speaking. 🙌🏻

thank you

[@bengmelea8646]

3:10 I had the privilege to work with the Thai structural Engineer who designed the structure of the 23 storey original Dusit Thani Hotel. It opened in 1970 and was the tallest building in Bangkok for several years at the time. What was interesting was that this Thai structural engineer had to go overseas to Europe to learn how to design high rise structures so he could come back and design the Dusit Thani Hotel Bangkok.

[@pattayapimp]

Open till 10:PM

[@warrenarmstrong1175]

I asked before with no luck but does anyone know what the story is with that huge block of vacant land (shown at 1:30 of this video) on the intersection of Sarasin and Langsuan?

[@cloudzero1547]

It’s part of Sindhorn Village and the plan was to build a medical wellness center in the future. It’s just that they haven’t started construction and probably wait for the right time.

[@warrenarmstrong1175]

@@cloudzero1547 OK thank you. That must arguably be one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in Bangkok!

[@stevens1041]

Ha, funny you asked that!! I also wondered the same thing.

[@talladale]

I'm sure you know the Mahakhaon skyscraper that has been designed with chunks out of it. It's most unusual, so could you make a video of that? I'm sure there is an interesting story behind it. It's not far from the Chau Praya river.

[@gertdrok9016]

Ha Jeroen, vraagje, hebben jullie al eens gegeten bij het Khao Soi Restaurant in Soi Convent? Zo ja, was het goed? Dank 🙏

[@irenemckay8343]

The first time I ever saw a monitor lizard was in this park and from the distance I thought it was a crocodile. I was actually very scared. Any idea how long the construction will go on?

[@janthomsen2657]

After many times in Bangkok we viseted Lumphini Park last year for the first time. Very bad general condition. Poor buildings under scoffolds, dusty and noisy construction in progress. For the time no place to go. But the global travel mate will keep us informed when it’s time to come back, right?

[@mrmartin2079]

It still has a lot of charm tho

[@klausw.5612]

@@janthomsen2657 relax pls, this is a real old park with lots of charm and history

[@Jintrepreneur]

May I ask what license did you get so that you can take the shots you showed in the video with your drone in Bangkok? I know it is necessary but I'm not too familiar with the process or type of license needed

[@kamolhengkiatisak1527]

From google: Can tourists fly drones in Thailand? You are only permitted to possess an unregistered drone for up to 30 days. This means that if your visit to Thailand is longer than 30 days then you must register your drone with both CAAT and NBTC within 30 days.

[@Jintrepreneur]

Yes I know the 30 days and registration part. That is a simple search online. What I'm asking is more than this. Many things in Thailand are difficult to Google and I wanted to know about the exact process (what office, costs...etc) and type of licenses that @globaltravelmate did for this type of video. When you try to do government things in Thailand the experience and process often do not match what you can Google. When you arrive in person you will find many things that will be different and waste your time.

[@BoboyPC2247]

Good job Malaysia 🤭

[@jenniferclarke3622]

I visited this park with my granddaughter about 4 weeks ago. It was a mess and unworthy of another visit.

[@KeithFujiyoshi]

How come Bangkok doesn’t allow dogs in the public park?

[@kamolhengkiatisak1527]

Dog poops are not welcome by any park goer. Imagine walking and running and stepping on dog poops!

[@lucca_lee]

Bangkok allow pet, only few public parks maybe 5 of them as I know maybe more and I know just 5, due to reason abovemention which understandable, they just dont trust that all the pet owner gonna clean after like in develeoped countries and it not the park staff to clean after such mess too. Not long ago Bangkok just allow guide dog to be in the park for the very first time. anyway there are some parks that allow such as a small section in Benjakitti park , and my most favourite park is Nongbon water sport center is well known for allowing pet to be in very very lovely park pet owner are totally well behave just like some developed country pet friendly park I've been.

[@adrianterrell8499]

Thanks for this nice video. A pity cyclists can only ride at the hottest time of the day; hopefully cycle tracks will appear soon.
