Lumphini Park

Bangkok has a surprising number of leafy hideaways; the biggest being Lumphini Park and Dusit Park. If you come to Lumphini, located within walking distance of the Metropolitan and Sukhothai hotels, early in the morning, you can observe the locals engaged in a variety of activities, from aerobics and yoga to tai chi. You can hire a paddleboat to explore the small lake on the grounds as well.
