Rama IX Park

Got back from having a walk - just across the street the beautiful Rama IX Park is offering the perfect place for long walks and picnics. I find it hard to recall being in a park/botanical garden as impressive and truly magnificent as this. First of all, it is very large; second - extremely well taken care off. It costs 10 BHT to enter, which, in Danish currency, is like the ridiculous sum of 1.5DKK. A large lake (or should it be called a pond instead?) in the middle with people having fun with em' pedal-driven "boats" in the shape of swans. Christina - we gonna stack up some beers and go for a ride when you're here :) See if we can drown that thing, hehe. 
The botanical garden part of the park reminded of the one in Aarhus - both have a cactus and a tropical plant "greenhouses". I cant even find the words to explain what a tranquil place it was - blooming magnolias, unbelievable palm trees and other flowers I have never laid my eyes upon before.
