  Nong Prajak Park

 

Thailand

Nong Prajak Public Park in the city of Udonthani is almost completely encircled by water and has just two entrances, i.e. the main gate seen here which is located in the west, and a smaller way in, in the east.

 

The park is located in the centre of town and basically consists of a large spit of land and an island, which are connected with each other by two bridges, whilst the lake features a family of giant inflatable Yellow Ducks (fig.).
