About 400 lizards, some up to 3 m long, are running amok. Nearly 100 monitor lizards have been removed from Bangkok’s Lumphini Park.
Much like Central Park in New York City, Lumphini is a rare 142-acre oasis in the heart of the Thai metropolis where city dwellers can jog, bike, rent paddleboats and picnic away from the cacophony of city life.

Bangkok travel guide
The familiar and the exotic constantly collide in Bangkok: megamalls sit side-by-side 200-year-old village homes; gold-spired Buddhist temples share space with neon-lit strips of sleaze; slow-moving traffic is passed by long-tail river boats; and streets lined with food carts are overlooked by glitzy rooftop restaurants.
Coverage includes: Plan Your Trip, Ko Ratanakosin & Thonburi, Banglamphu, Thewet & Dusit, Chinatown, Siam, Square, Pratunam, Ploenchit & Ratchathewi, Riverside, Silom & Lumphini, Sukhumvit, Greater Bangkok, Day Trips from Bangkok, Understand Bangkok and Survival Guide.
You can pick and choose from complete guides and individual chapters, and download them to any device you like.
