After indulging in all of those decadent pastries, entrées and drinks, you’re going to need a work out. Ditch the monotony of the air-conditioned gym and find your way to an easy, breezy beautiful park.

Join a class that will offer both fun and fitness. Tai chi classes take place in both the early mornings and the early evenings at Benjasiri Park (BTS Phrom Phong), right next to Emporium. Afterwards, you can lift some shopping bags for strength training.

Not into following a class? Go for a run at Lumpini Park (MRT Silom) where you are guaranteed encouragement and healthy competition from your fellow joggers. And the long 2.5 km loop here means there’s no giving up halfway—in-built motivation.
Cycling is also an option, and even if you don’t own a bike. Suan Rot Fai (BTS Mo Chit, MRT Chatuchak Park) has the best rental deal at only B20 for the entire day. You can even make it into an all-day affair, complete with a picnic-perfect setting and a spot of shopping just around the corner

Bored by the conventional park visits? Then make the ten minute walk from MRT Queen Sirikit to Benjakiti Park, which boasts a large lake at its center. Here, you can hire a pedal boat or row boat and glide across the lake amid the dying rays of the sunset.
