Lumphini Subdistrict

Lumphini Subdistrict is best known within Bangkok for Lumphini Park, a major green space in the capital’s dense central business district. Its lake, lawns and mature trees provide a marked contrast to the offices, hotels and traffic along Rama IV and Wireless roads. The district lies east of the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok’s principal waterway, within an area shaped by modern commerce and international embassies. King Vajiravudh, or Rama VI, provided the land for the park, which opened to the public in 1925; its name refers to the Buddha’s birthplace.
