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

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

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.

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

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

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

Forest in the city

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

Great content

Thanks for the update Jeroen 😆

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.

Love this video!

Awesome episode!

I just love your vids. 🤟

Just booked 3 nights in Dusit this winter! Cant wait to Experience it.

❤❤❤

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! 🙏🏼🇹🇭 ❤️🤍💙🤍❤️

Love it❤❤❤

thank you

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.

Open till 10:PM

Always enjoy your updates

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.

Dinosaurs in the beginning are so fantastic!

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

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?

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?

189 Wireless- not 198👍

Good job Malaysia 🤭

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

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?

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

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

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

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.
