A Historic Landmark of Bangkok

Lumpini Park was established in 1925 by King Vajiravudh, who gave the land for public use. The park was named after Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha. Today, Lumpini Park remains one of Bangkok’s most loved landmarks. It is a favorite place for runners, families, office workers, and anyone looking for a peaceful break from city life.
