Do
you need escape from the crowds or noise? Please visit Bang Krachao (บางกระเจ้า) , best known
as the lungs of Bangkok, though only a short distance from central Bangkok.
Look at the Google map, its near by Chao Phraya river.
How to get to Bang Krachao
I
recommend you to take a taxi or bus to Wat Khlong Toey Nok (วัดคลองเตยนอก), only take 5 minutes
from Asoke BTS/ MRT. Then just walk through the entrance of wat, keep walking straight
until you get to the river pier. Take a boat, pay 10 THB, or wait for the next
boat to take you across. The boat will drop you off at the Bang Krachao dock,
where you can rent a bicycle. It would be nice if make a call for them 1 day
before. Pae jeabb, from the picture would be very nice.

Start from here |
A
week ago our taxi driver took us directly to the dock, instead of the Wat
Khlong Toey Nok., because of our lack of Thai language, and we paid very
expensive (160THB).
What you can do at Bang Krachao
Pae Jeabb Pier bike rental will offer you many types of bike, so no worry if you cannot ride a bike, just hire bike for two persons. They also give you water and hat, such a warm greeting. Only took 80-100 THB for whole day bicycle. Start pedalling, and enjoy the fresh air and lack of traffic.

Afternoon
(at 2 or 3 pm) is best time for cycling. About 1 kilometer you will arrive at
Sri Nakhon Khua Khan Park, but if you want to go to floating market, please
avoid this place first. Floating market only open until 5 pm, so keep pedaling
to go there and set the park as final destination.
1. Bang Nam Pheung Floating Market
Many
tourists from around the world came here only to walk or eat or shop. The price
was cheap. I bough 1 kilo of guava only 50 THB, New Zealand apples 120 THB and
tissue 10 THB (you will need it).
Only 100 meters from floating market. Best spot to take some pictures. |

2. Bangkok Tree House Café
A few hours (1-2 hours) from floating market, opposite way, you will arrive at Bangkok Tree House Café, such a garden style. The café has 3 levels, the roof top show us around of Bangkok.

3. Sri Nakhon Khua Khan Park
Local areas where you can enjoy fresh air, feeding fish in lake, enjoy scenery from the top of bird tower. Good place to escape from the rush of Bangkok.
