"It is in your power to withdraw yourself whenever you desire. Perfect tranquility within consists in the good ordering of the mind, the realm of your own." - Marcus Aurelius _ This is not something you'd expect to find in Bangkok, Thailand. The centrally located Benjakitti Park 🌳🌞 is like a quiet, tranquil oasis amidst the city's never-ending energy. _ We stayed at the nearby @shamalakeviewasoke which drew on inspiration from this park for the property's newly renovated studios and apartments. Calming green and blue tones, specially commissioned artworks and furniture, and cleverly positioned mirrors to bring the beautiful outdoors inside. Shama means "peace" or "tranquil" in Sanskrit, and after walking around this park, I understand why. _ Do you want to see me eat a real grasshopper in Bangkok? 🐛😮😲 Check out my latest IGTV video @travelwithbender. _ #bangkokthailand #naturelovers
