Lumphini Park
Lumphini Park (Thai: สวนลุมพินี, RTGS: Suan Lumphini, pronounced [sǔan lūm.pʰī.nīː]), also Lumpini or Lumpinee, is a 360 rai (57.6-hectare (142-acre)) park in Bangkok, Thailand. The park offers rare open public space, trees and playgrounds in the Thai capital and contains an artificial lake where visitors can rent boats. Paths around the park totalling approximately 2.5 km in length are a popular area for morning and evening joggers. Officially, cycling is only permitted during the day between the times of 10:00 am to 03:00 pm. There is a smoking ban throughout the park. Dogs are not allowed, except certified guide dogs only. Lumphini Park is regarded as the first public park in Bangkok and Thailand. The park is the provenance of Lumpinee Boxing Stadium.
Witthayu, Rama IV and Ratchadamri act as the eastern, southern and western border of Lumphini Park respectively. Witthayu intersection, an intersection where Witthayu and Rama IV roads meet, is served by Lumphini station on the Blue Line. Sala Daeng, an intersection where Ratchadamri, Rama IV and Si Lom roads meet, is served by Si Lom station on the Blue Line and Sala Daeng station on the BTS Skytrain's Silom Line. Other places surrounding Sala Daeng intersection are Dusit Central Park (where the old Dusit Thani Hotel once stood), King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, and Silom Edge.
The 360 rai (about 57 hectares) plot of land, formerly known as Thung Sala Daeng ('Sala Daeng Field', now Sala Daeng Intersection), was the private property of King Rama VI. In 1925, the king donated the land to the nation to be used as a fair ground. The Siamrat Phiphitthaphan Trade Fair was held here to promote Thai commodities and industrial productions among Thais and foreigners. After the fair, the king had a will to turn the land into a public park which was given the name Lumphini. It was named after Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha in Nepal for prosperity, although its location at that time was considered the outskirts of the city. The construction was not finished yet, the king died first, but the construction continues until complete. In World War II the park was a Japanese Army camp. At the entrance in front of the park, the royal monument of the king was built for his memorial, inside the park, there are a clock tower of Chinese styled structure built in 1925, a public library which was the first one in the country, a public aquarium, children's play ground, sporting ground, and large swimming pool. It is a public park full of varieties of plants and suitable for recreational.
Today, it lies in the heart of the main business district and is in the Lumphini sub-district, on the north side of Rama IV Road, between Ratchadamri Road and Witthayu Road.
It is also linked to Benjakitti Park in Khlong Toei District via the 1.3 km-long green elevated pedestrian and bicycle path that begins at the Sarasin Junction, where Witthayu Road meets Sarasin Road.
In August 2025, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration announced that the Lumpini Park Hawker Centre would open along Ratchadamri Road in early 2026.
Lumphini Park is a multi-purpose park. Many activities are provided for citizens and tourists. The park is a green area. There are trees, flowers, lakes and animals.
The park has Bangkok's first public library and dance hall. During winter, the Palm Garden of Lumphini Park becomes the site for the annual Concert in the Park featuring classical music by the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra and other bands.
