Pui and Maid Go have been going to The Queen's Park at the end of Soi Osama Bin Laden to jog every day, and have invited me along every time they go. Today I decided to accept their invitation.
Thai parks are really nice little places, with very labor-intensive gardens, hedges, flowers, and other bits of nature to enjoy. It's really a shame that there are not more of them in Thailand... but a park for the public's sake is really pointless in the Thai mind, and Thailand has only so many members of the royal family for parkland dedication purposes. Therefore there are only so many parks.
This particular park is very exercise-oriented, with a jogging track running around and through the gardens with 12 "exercise stops" along the way, and in the middle of the park there is a playground, large fountain, and an antique Thai house in which you can take music lessons.
Anyway, no need to discuss how out of shape I am. However, I'm hoping to get things turned around, and this park seems as pleasant a place as any to start.
