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.).
