King’s Park rediscovered!

Posted in Bangkok, Bangkok Parks | 7 Comments

Having gone to the King’s Park for the nth time already, we thought we knew the park so well. You can imagine how pleasantly surprised we were when we have gone to another side of the park– how come we have not “discovered” this in the past trips? Oh, well.. surprise, surprise!

A Chinese garden

We went there on a morning– and we were the only ones walking on this road! I enjoyed the fresh air, the peace and quiet– something that's definitely not common in bustling Bangkok

Look how vast this field is!

We were headed to this white structure. Reminds me of an ancient church, except that it does not have walls

And those lilies were beautiful!

Taj Mahal in Bangkok?

Posted in Art works, Bangkok, Bangkok Parks | Leave a comment

This is a miniature Taj Mahal in Dream World, Bangkok.  Although it isn’t made out of gold, silver bullion or anything fancy, it is still a great way to introduce Taj Mahal to the kids.

There’s also Eiffel tower, the statue of Liberty, the Great Wall of China, and the leaning tower of Pisa.  We really had a great time there.  The trip aroused the kids’ curiosity about these wonders of  the world and researched about them on their own.

Fun in the sun!

This photo was taken when we went to Lumpini Park.  It’s great to have a man-made river like this in the middle of downtown Bangkok.  If you are in Bangkok and you want a place to relax, read good book or paddling a boat, Lumpini is a perfect spot.

It’s best to go boating on a late afternoon because we had it at 3 o’clock and it was really hot!  We were not able to put on sunscreen but since we did not bask in the sun too long, we were fine.

When you are in a tropical country like Thailand, you definitely won’t need spray tanning!  I guess that explains the thousands of Caucasians flocking the Land of Smiles especially during summer time.
