Hidden Oasis : Explore Bangkok's Green Lung, Bang Krachao by Bike

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 befo
