Lumpini Walk

I've discovered that the walkway I can see from my pool, which is alongside the canal, goes all the way to Lumpini Park, one of the greener parts of the city. Therefore when I noticed after lunch that I was having trouble keeping my chin off my chest, and having heard from some or other quack that sunshine is good for jetlag, I decided to take a little stroll.

Some photos were gleaned, but mostly I just got footsore in my sandals. Also I'm still jetlagged.

These two are meant to show how hot it is in Bangkok, just to wind you all up a bit..

I did plenty of walking...














View of Lake Green from the Klong...



..and the back view, showing the pool area on the 15th floor...



..and what, we're supposed to cycle up that? Bloody hell, glad I was walking.



Having said that, I do love a challenge. Maybe I'll get myself a bike and ride to the park regularly...

Getting down would be fun.

No more photos I'm afraid, it turned into the usual epic find-your-way-home scenario and if it hadn't been for the nice security guard on the church gates on Soi 10, who let me through onto Soi 8 instead of schlepping all the way up to Sukhumvit and back down, I'd have ended up with bleeding feet. As it is they are just sizzling a little. All in all a rewarding stroll. Got some sun on my head too.

Be good.
