Bangkok parks

Yes the water sports centre is still there and active - you see people kayaking, sailing and windsurfing. It's a lovely place.

The nearest metro is Suan Luang Rama IX MRT station which is on the Yellow Line MRT. You would probably need a motorbike from the station as I think the only access to the park is from the furthest side from the station but not 100% sure as I always drive there.

 

Thanks for that update.  I had a couple of kayaks back then that lived on top of my pickup.  Since I brought and paddled my own boats, I only perused the water sport center and took some photos.  I don't recall the programs, whether they rent by the hour, require a membership, etc.  But what a great resource in Bangkok for people who enjoy boating.  Especially those with no way to buy, store, or transport their own kayaks.   Sadly, I never really saw it advertised anywhere, at least not in English.

 

Knowing what I since learned, next time I move to Thailand I'll be buying inflatables since I often got stopped when I tried to (or successfully) used the motorways.  No kayaks allowed on roof mounts on the motorways.  Enforcement was hit and miss.  Getting to the beach or the river (Kwai) was a real PITA without getting on the expressways.  So it'll be inflatable kayaks KaBoats, and SUPs for this boy next time...  Plus, they fit into a closet and don't have to live on top the pickup.

 

Hopefully, someone can chime in with more details about the cost of sailing, kayaking and/or boating at that park???

  • and I found this very beautiful bar and spent 5 happy hours yesterday.   No charge for entry and the trash was in the rubbish bin. 

  • I went there on Sunday, entered in gate 6. The price was 90 baht in total for the two of us and the car. The price was clearly stated on the sign before the roundabout (20 baht per person and 50 baht

    I wish they would leave Lumphini Park alone. For the past few years they're always digging something up or building something. It's just so bloody annoying.

I remember reading you have to become a member which is 40 baht for a year and then everything is free including tuition (but assume the tuition would only be in Thai). Not sure how accurate or up to date that is though. If I remember on my next visit I'll ask.
