Bangkok used to be mainly a tropical swampland not too long ago – and sometimes you still get a sense of how short a while ago human progress has found it’s way into this place. In Lumphini park for example, you still find plenty of large turtles like this one who meander around and crawl out of the lake – considering that Lumphini park is located right in the heart of Bangkok’s business district, it’s quite impressive. And what beautiful and fascinating creatures they are!
So if you have some time to spare and are in no rush with your Bangkok sightseeing activities, check out some of the parks in Bangkok – they have even more amazing creatures than this magnificent turtle 🙂
