Lumpini Park
Bangkok's
largest and most popular park. The park is about 10
minutes walk from Sawasdee Langsuan Inn. A large
artificial lake in the center is surrounded by broad,
well-tended lawns, wooded areas and walking paths. In other
words, it is the best outdoor escape from Bangkok without leaving
town.
The best times to visit the park is
in the early morning. Suan (Park) Lumpini is a place of
moods rather than sights. In the morning it is full of
people exercising. More striking and graceful than the
joggers are Chinese Tai Chi groups, making slow movements
to music. Other facilities include a snack bar, several
areas with tables and benches for picnics and a couple of
tables where ladies serve Chinese tea. Rest rooms are
placed at intervals throughout the park. Rowing boats and
puddle boats can be rented at the lake.

Pantip
Plaza
The mall has two anchors, IT City, which occupies the top
floor, and Data IT on the mezzanine level. There are
hundreds of small shops specializing in computer hardware,
software and accessories, including parts, repair,
modifications, networking, second hand, laptops, Macintosh
and peripherals.
The sale of pirated software remains an easy and open
practice, mostly on the ground floor of the plaza, despite
the occasional shuttering of all shops selling illegal
computer software and entertainment CDs, DVDs, and VCDs
during police checks. The shop will take your selection
from binders full of titles and cash payment, then deliver the goods in 10-20 min, as the
contraband is stored off site. Pantip Plaza
is on Phetchaburi
Road, next to Platinum Fashion
Mall. Pantip
Plaza
is open daily from 10 AM to 9 PM.
