Please, no more parks for Bangkok
A Johnsen wants more parks in Bangkok. Why? There are nine that I know of, and all are serving the public well. Most of them are not used fully to their capacity, so I would take that as meaning there are enough already.
And why take land from the Nana area and Royal Bangkok Sports Club's fields when the fantastic Lumpini Park, Bangkok's biggest, is only ten minutes from Nana and two minutes from the sports club?
If you take the effort to find out where all the parks are, you will find that Bangkok is not an unpleasant concrete and asphalt jungle.
