The Lumphini Park and the morning routines [Thailand 2011-2012]

People have different morning routines and it varies from a culture to another. My daily morning routine is not that special, all I do is trying to pull myself out of bed, brush my teeth, wash my face and go trough a complicated morning skin care, then I put some make up on before I put some clothes on. I make myself something to eat before I rush out to school. I can tell that my morning routine in Thailand is different from the one at home, obviously because I am on holiday. It just does not stop me from waking up early to go to the park or just observe what my aunties do in the morning.

First I would like to introduce to you the Lumphini Park, that opens from 4 am to 10 pm. In the morning you will find many things going on there, everything from aerobic dancing, yoga, tai-chi, jogging, bicycling, swimming and much more. There is a eating spot as well, where you can find many delicious dishes, even for the veggies(proved by Justin). I have some pictures and a clip from the park down below and I hope you like them.

As you may know Thailand's main religion is Buddhism. I do not know how to explain it, but in the morning many monks go out and get food from the people, who are willing to give them. From my mom's part of family they are all Buddhists and when they have time in the morning they stand in front of the house and wait for the monks to come. I am a Catholic, but since that it is a cultural thing, I thought it could be interesting for you to know and see, because I believe many of the tourists miss this part of Thailand, because they live in a hotel and they wake up late... Haha, I just made fun of the stereotype tourists(but I am kind of right).
