To travel to the park, take the Metropolitan Rapid Transit (MRT), get off at Lumphini Station (Exit 1), and walk along Rama IV Road to Soi Ngam Duphli; when you get there, walk about five minutes and the park is on your right.
Covering approximately 17 rai (about 6.7 acres), the park offers a shady and tranquil environment filled with trees. The refreshing landscape is also located near the Kukrit Pramoj Institute, which preserves the works of Professor (Special) Maj. Gen. M.R. Kukrit Pramoj, a former prime minister, who was a famous author and scholar. He also appeared in the 1963 movie “The Ugly American” with Marlon Brando. (NNT)
