These two activities can be done easily in parks scattered around Bangkok. You can find energetic aerobics groups in a park around 5-6 p.m. every day. Some major parks in Bangkok are as: - Lumphini Park on Rama IV Road in the Silom area - Benchasiri Park (the Queen's Park) on Sukhumwit Road - Rommaninat Park on Siriphong Road, near the Giant Swing - Saranrom Park on Thaiwang Road, near the Grand Palace and Wat Pho - Chatuchak Park next to Chatuchak Weekend Market
In Lumphini Park, Bangkok's most popular park, there is a big artificial lake in the centre which is perfect for boating. Boats are available for rent at very reasonable rates. There are similar facilities in Dusit Zoo.
For those who love to pamper themselves by the spa therapies, there are a good number of spas in Bangkok, many of them attached to first-class hotels. These spas are equipped with hi-tech spa equipment and offer a full range of spa therapies including aromatherapy, herbal therapy, massages, facial and body treatments.
Generally, swimming pools and fitness centres are provided in top-grade hotels. There are also a good number of sports clubs and fitness centres elsewhere around Bangkok, especially in business and tourist districts like Silom, Sukhumwit, etc.
