There are numerous pretty parks in Bangkok that we’ve only seen in passing so far. There is the enormous Lumphine Park, the Benjasiri Park near Emporium and Chatuchak Park next to the weekend market going by the same name. We have long been threatening to visit one of these parks, so inspired by an article in this week’s BK Magazine I suggested going for a picnic yesterday.
While I was still being lazy in bed, Alexander made fresh tortillas. I’ve never had home made tortillas before, so I was used to the generic taste of the store bought variety. The ones Alexander made was super fresh and oh so delicious! I was bouncing around with excitement (literally), while being fed bites of warm tortillas.
So into our picnic bag went the still warm tortillas, some cupcakes, hummus and tomatoes picked up at the Emporium Gourmet section and two coffees. We went and hung out at the lush and inviting Benjasri Park. There weren’t too many people and the atmosphere was relaxed. I thought too late about taking a picture of the tortillas, so this blurry image of the best tortilla I’ve ever had will have to do for now.

And of course we enjoyed cupcakes for dessert.

This picture of a used cup was taken by Alexander. I like how the bit of pink icing that dropped onto the bench contrasts with the grayish background.

Cupcakes AND fresh tortillas! I am so jealous. Doesn’t the blue and pink of the cupcake look great against the bench.

Good lord you two… you know how to make the rest of us jealous. I’m happy to see you’re living life to the fullest. I’ll be sure to make cupcakes to eat in Stanley Park here in Vancouver when you come to visit… otherwise, we might see you first. Get baking!

Vegeyum- you should be jealous, it was great!
And Jess, it would be really great if you were to come to Bangkok, I’ll bake cupcakes for that too. Otherwise, Vancouver!
