Ms. La-ead Kovavisaruch, CEO of Vimarn Suriya Company Limited, the developer of Dusit Central Park, a world-class complete mixed-use development project under "Here for Bangkok" concept, as well as The Residences at Dusit Central Park, Bangkok's finest ultra-luxury residential development in Super Core CBD of Rama 4 - Silom, said "At Dusit Central Park, each component of the mixed-use development offers a distinctive lifestyle story. These elements are brought together by an expansive green space, Suan Dusit Arun, a park of more than 7 rai (11,200 sq.m.) in the heart of the city, serving as the unifying link that enables people with different lifestyles to share the space in meaningful ways. Our aim is for nature to be more than a landscape feature; it is at the heart of our concept, 'A Living Urban Ecosystem', which connects nature, people and urban life. Everyone can make genuine use of the space, whether walking, exercising, relaxing or spending time with family and loved ones. It translates our commitment to urban well-being and a healthier environment into tangible action amid nature in the city centre. In recognition of World Pneumonia Day, observed annually on 12 November, which was established by the Global Coalition Against Child Pneumonia in 2009, the campaign aims to raise awareness of pneumonia, which the World Health Organization (WHO)* identifies as one of the leading infectious diseases affecting children worldwide. We therefore want to extend the value of Suan Dusit Arun, from being the 'city's lungs' to helping protect 'people's lungs', by raising awareness of respiratory health while adding a green space to Bangkok as part of our efforts to improve urban quality of life. Guided by the Biophilia concept, the idea that people have an innate affinity with and desire to connect with nature, and combined with universal design, the park connects nature with people's activities. It features carefully selected Thai plant species and inclusive spaces designed for people of all ages, making nature more accessible and part of everyday life."
Furthermore, for more than 3 years, Dusit Central Park has continued to create activities that connect green spaces with the community and public participation. Its latest initiative is a new LINE sticker set created around the "Park for Life: Growing Together" concept. It depicts people of all ages, pets, trees and moments experienced at Suan Dusit Arun. A living park does not grow through trees alone; it grows through the people who use it and create shared memories. The initiative will support the work of the Division of Pulmonary Disease and Pulmonary Critical Care, Department of Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, the Thai Red Cross Society, across patient care, education, training and the sustainable development of respiratory-health knowledge.
Thailand continues to face persistent challenges from particulate matter and air pollution, which remain significant risk factors for respiratory health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO)**, air pollution is associated with approximately 7 million premature deaths worldwide each year and is linked to conditions including cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and lung cancer. Respiratory health should be protected before illness occurs by understanding how to reduce exposure to risk factors and regularly monitoring air quality regularly. Good health depends both on personal care and an environment that supports well-being. Green spaces in the heart of a city, whether small or large, are another important element in improving quality of life and making nature more accessible.
Good health and meaningful change can begin with small steps. Sharing care through LINE stickers not only brings a smile to everyday conversations but also helps support respiratory patients and healthcare professionals. Be part of promoting better health and growing together with the "Park for Life: Growing Together" LINE sticker set.
