LUMPHINI NEIGHBOURHOOD | More Than Just A Park | Red Light District | Walking The Streets | History

- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2023
- Lumphini is not just about the park, it's an area of Bangkok with stark contrasts, from high rises worth millions, back streets walked by prostitutes, a park infested with lizards and cats, interesting and bizarre histiry all around it and hospitals, high rises and hotels all within a square kilometre. Next time you visit the park, take a walk around it as well. Enjoy!

The best Lumphini Park-Video I've seen so far. I often visit the park, running around and filming but with all this background infos I will get another view on this park if I go there again.
Thanks Frank, this is why l've spent so much time at the park recently. I go to shoot but then l think l'll quickly visit the cats and then the day is gone.....
Yea, it is a good one. I walked through Lumpini Park almost daily in 1990-91. I lived between Sathorn and Silom so it was a nice walk after work which was just to the NE of the Park.
Love to see a video on Convent rd and surrounds south of Silom not far from Lumpini Park! Was my Thailand BKK arrival point decades ago!..
It's great learning that not all of Bangkok's past is disappearing. Happy hundredth birthday to Lumphini Park (in a little more than a year!)
Thank you! 😃
Absolutely brilliant, Pat. As a fellow Vlogger and someone who first visited Bangkok in 1973 , I appreciate the time, effort and skill put into your videos : editing, providing voice overs, slow and quick motion, still shots and your choice of appropriate music. You have a gift , Pat . We are all lucky that you have put your passion into brilliant videos. Thankyou.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the kind words Steven😎
Feel honored that you replied promptly. So much respect for you and your work. @@BangkokPat
Pat, what a gem! You’ve outdone yourself. Such a thoroughly enjoyable piece. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for supporting 😻
Another great video BKK Pat, love the old footage comparisons.
I'd hate to see Lumpini Park renovated beyond recognition, or buildings erected that replace existing parklands.
I'd be happy just to see the old girl just get a new lick of paint, she's perfect the way she is now.
Was there yesterday too, very beautiful!
@@FromDKtoBKK, very jealous!
Bangkok is amazing!
❤ 🇹🇭
Totally agree. It's a wonderful place already.
I remember Lumphini Night Market. First time going to one. Love it. We dont have anything like that here in New Zealand. Not long after that it was closed down. Bad bad mistake.
I love Lumpini in the morning! Great way to start your day!
You bring back wonderful memories of our 16 years in The Kingdom and countless hours in that beautiful green oasis. Keep up the great work. Matt and Karen
Great tour as always Pat - historical insights and research is amazing as well as how casually people live alongside those ancient monitor lizards so harmoniously - wonderful
Those lizards are enemies of nobody, maybe the odd straying kitten (so I heard but I find that even hard to believe) They are cumbersome and have poor eyesight but don't chase us....
Moniter lizards by day,,, "dodgy" stuff at night. YES ! 🎉 After 17 visits, Bangkok is still my kinda place. 🙏 ขอบคุณ Your videography and captivating narration is exceptional !
Great video - as considerable effort undertaken. Thank you.
Love all your videos. Nobody brings us closer to Bangkok than you.
Love learning about the history of Lumphini Park, and of course the cats 🐱 Bangkok Pat is the man to see about how history has shaped modern-day Bangkok. You always learn something new from him even though you think you know it all!
Cheers Derek😎😻
Thanks for this video of Lumphini Park, many happy memories 100%.
I had no idea Lumphini Park had such a history. Next time I go for a run around it I will keep my eyes peeled 🎉
The black and white cat is a legend as it just lies in the middle of the footpath while hundreds of runners go past, not a care in the world. Everyone who frequents Lumphini often would recognise her.
I think there modernisation photos of the park are terrible. Tbh i really like what they achieved over at the tobacco factories at Benchakiti Park.
I do think the kids playground could do with a revamp thou.
Great video, i really enjoyed it.
I actually visited the Dusit site and the project was explained in detail including what plans they have for the new hotel, office building, and residential tower, as well as the green space they plan on the roof of the planned mall. Most interestingly it's how they have been preserving the heritage of the old Dusit. You should go in and see for yourself; it's better than the sight of construction from outside at present.
There's a tale to be told about why the Dusit wasn't knocked down (say) 20 years back -- considerations of taste and heritage aside it was a very inefficient use of space by early 2000s and having BTS and MRT stations on doorstep made it a no-brainer. Someone had a sentimental attachment to the joint... In other totally unrelated news, the Fibonacci Sequence begins like this: 1 1 2 (ahem) 3, 5 , 8...
Great job Pat.
Great video Pat. I've lost count of how many laps I've ran around Lumphini earlier this year so this was a really cool insight into a place I spent a lot of time in. Also was lucky to visit Lumphini Stadium in 2012 so at least I can say I've been to such a historic place!
another great video.. Great park. It really is seedy at night, full of shadow people .
Not so bad inside the park but around the outside on those two streets can be a bit seedy when there are kerb crawlers etc
Another very informative video with loads of new and old photos, really like your history narative. I remember; staying at Nana hotel then taking a taxi to Patpong. Taxis just cut through Lumphini park, that was back in late 70's.
First, thankyou for all your excellent and informative videos. I found your channel quite by accident - glad I did. You and viewers of this channel might be interested to know some of the history of the (almost) open site on the north-east corner of Lumphini Park; the site bounded by Wireless Road, Benchakitt Walkway, Polo 1 and Sanam Khli. This was the old site of the Na Nakhon mansion house, known colloquially in the past (according to my late cousin) as Number One Bangkok because it was the largest private house in the city except, of course, for the royal residences. During the Second World War it was requisitioned by the government and handed over to the Japanese high command as a special operations centre and residence for senior Japanese officers. After the war, the history of the site was blurred; some in government, and in the family, claimed that the family sold it to pay gambling debts while others said it was never handed back to the family and was sold under suspicious circumstances and the house demolished. Since then, litigation by all sorts of people, including some family members, has meant the site remained empty for decades.
I first visited the site it in 2002 when I first explored my own Thai heritage (long story) when the whole site was empty apart from some shacks near the walkway; then the outline of the old foundations and gardens were still just visible. Since then, various bits have been built upon. My cousins and the older generations of my family remember living in the house and so its demolition was incredibly sad for them. A few of those older family members are still alive and I often wonder how much history resides in their memories.
Best wishes, Nick Nakorn (Chulapatnabongse Na Nakhorn / Na Nagara)

Excellent video and unique content. Thank you!
Great video and you've got a great sound system.
Some of the best times I’ve had in Lumphini Park is listening to the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra play free concerts in the park.
Wow had no idea about the history. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much again. Really enjoyed it ♥️
Fantastic video Pat😊😊😊😊😊
Brilliant history once again Pat. I visited the park last month and always enjoy a stroll around it.
Your absolute legend pat 👏 This was another fine master peice from you 🌟
Another very informative video. Good to see the channel growing. You deserve it.
Wow, great video and information. Thank you for your work putting this together. I hope you get tons more subscribers!
Another great trip through the rich history of Bangkok! Great work. Thank you for what you do.
Good stuff!!!
Once again, excellent video and very informative
Very cool content/history!
I have to say I do like the look of the Helter Skelter walkway if only for it's architectural fun ...What an oasis of calm in BKK, long may it continue. All the best :)
Luckily it looks like all those additions to the park isn't gonna happen as the new Bangkok governor has put a stop to it.
Excellent video - very interesting as I have wandered that park a couple of times without knowing anything about it. I will be back in Bangkok in November so will rewatch your video then. Love content like this. Subscribed.
Great content! The most informative video on Lumpini park I’ve ever seen.
Excellent video. Very interesting
Excellent and informative video thanks Pat. I spent many years living around that area and look forward to returning to Bangkok soon.
Really enjoyed this video Pat, well done. Thank you. aka JG in TX
Great video with historic information.
I love your videos
Good to see you back Pat. Missing your informative vlogs 🙂🙏
The definitive Lumphini Park video for a few years. Great job, great research, great video, as always 👍🙏👍
Another underrated video. Thanks Pat.
So good. Thanks for that. Nostalgic for sure. Love the histoic photography.and compairisons.. Can't wait for the next!
Bangkok’s great parks - Lumphini, Rama IX, Forest Park, and Chatuchak parks are parks that Bangkok can be proud of. Add the Green Lung to that list too.
Another excellent video!, so many memories from the disappearing old Bangkok, it must take so much work to find research and put these videos together, absolutely superb!. And the Cats are an added bonus.
Great documentary.Krap!
Thank you for this awesome video and the awesome music that you used.
This has to be one of your best videos. Thank you for producing it.
Cheers Robert 😎
Nothing less than the best. Thank You!
Hi Pat, I love your calm cool and informative presenting style. Feels like an episode of Whicker's World. Great work 👍
Super Pat! 🙏👍
Yet another great cover story that i had to pause from time to time because it is so dense with information
I remember enjoying a concert at that beer garden around 2006-2007
Respect for the effort you put into this !

Love your music also Pat.❤❤
Thank you for another nice geographie lesson
So many historical notes and little hidden places. Good job!
Had some good laughs watching this one. Another excellent production Pat .
Thanks Terry 👍
I love your videos Pat. Really well planned out and informative. Considering the other Thailand based RUclipsrs out there, you should have 3X the number of subscribers that you do.
What I do isn't really seen as cool, influential or trendy, it's very nerdy and niche to the kind of folks who get off on watching malls, pad thai and markets over and over again.
@BangkokPat You do such a thorough and great job on every video. The music you choose is perfectly matched to the scenes you are portraying. It's difficult to explain but your videos are so soothing and relaxing to watch. I often turn one on in the afternoon, fall asleep for a nap and then start the same video again from the beginning and watch it properly. Never disappointed and always entertained. Thank you mate.
Great video Pat, really enjoyed this one, only ever been there once, I found it so relaxing. However I couldn't get a decent photo of any of the lizards they kept running off, and the only cat I saw was outside sleeping in the gutter. Loved the cat in the tortoise
Another fabulous Bangkok Pat video. Thailand Tourist Bureau needs to hire you Pat!
I know you mentioned offering tours. Did that ever happen? Visiting in February and I'd be very interested. Thanks Sam...ps just saw your Walking Tour info in the description. I'll be in touch. Thanks 2x
Glad to see you got some use from the footage you shot at my place Pat! 20:04
Finally I have made use of what I filmed that day, although I'm sure I've used a few seconds of it elsewhere but I can't remember!!
That Pat..was a boss video...nice 1.
Thanks 👍
Thank you for the excellent video, my son born in the Hospital near the park, the video brings back great memories when I used to live in Bangkok, greetings from Hungary
Great job. The video filmed with such deepth knowledge of the subject, love and passion. Very informative.
Thank you
Someone just commented my videos make them fall asleep, obviously l need to show a few pad thais and malls to keep the sheep excited! Cheers Alex😻😎
The goatee looks good on you! Thanks for the very informative videos on Bangkok.
Another great video, Mr Pat. Where did you get the proposed celebration shots? The graphic style is shockingly similar to that of photography show I caught recently at HOP at Seacon Square Srinagarindra.
Standing ovation for the awesome episode! I love Lumpini Park and I also have fond memories of the legendary Dusit Thani Hotel. Awesome scene at 27:06. Very artistic!
