Rave Run - Chatuchak Park,Bangkok,Thailand






This is the Chatuchak Park,just a stone's throw from the world famous JJ (Jatujak) Fake Goods Market which sells all kinds of stuff to tourists and residents in Bangkok Thailand. The easiest way to get there is by the MRT, take the train heading towards Bang Sue (from Veronica hotel its only 4 stops,Sutthisan,Lad Phrao,Phahon Yothin and then Chatuchak Park).
My run started relatively late, at 8.30 am, overslept a little. I ran for a total of 48 minutes or approximately 8 km
which is 2 and 1/2 loops round the whole park. 1 round is approx. 3.8 km. It was hot but there were ample trees and
water sprinklers to cool me down. Great run !

Sights to see (on the MRT) :
a) Bangkok students and residents all dressed up to work
Sights to see and Do :
a) Exercise Uncles and Aunties - whatever they are doing they are dedicated
b) Musclemen - a small time Gym is there
c) Feed the pigeons and fish (for 20 baht, you get 3 packets of bread and fish food) - see picture
d) Chill out -see picture
