Overview

Discover the cyclist’s paradise of Bangkok's green lung, Bang Krachao, with its seemingly endless elevated biking paths winding through fertile mangrove forests, small farms, quiet villages and Buddhist temples. Strict zoning and geography have protected its mangrove forests, coconut plantations and gardens from the urban sprawl of Bangkok making it into Bangkok’s Hidden Oasis.

Pedal your way through back lanes and alleys to the ferry. Once you and your bicycle are across the Chao Phraya River in Bang Krachao, the real biking pleasure begins.

Cycle quiet pathways at a leisurely pace where all you will encounter are birds, a few squirrels and maybe a lizard or two. Park your bike to visit a family at an old betel nut plantation for a snack, then check out a mangrove conservation area before pedaling on through the maze of tree-lined bike paths to a shrine to the Hindu God Ganesh before arriving at a local temple and market

The Old Betel Nut Garden

Stop for some homemade refreshments in a family garden commanding grand views of the Chao Phraya River and take a moment of two to contemplate the ship and barge traffic on the river.

The Firefly Garden

Before man ever came to Bang Krachao the area was a large mangrove forest which would light up at night with the lights of fireflies. Today members of the local community have created a reserve where you can come to see the mangroves as they once were and where the fireflies can flourish. You won’t see any fireflies during the day but feel welcome to come back at night.
