Tour Description:

Bangkok is always famed for its action and energy within the city, tonnes of street food available at every corner and not to forget the crowded markets. However, just a short trip away from Bangkok, you will find a green jungle oasis sitting in the middle of the city’s concrete jungle. This place is named Bang Krachao, Bangkok’s Green Lung. It has gotten this name because it shapes like a giant green lung. Efforts have been made to preserve the forests and nature in the area protecting it from the urban sprawl of Bangkok. Thus, here stands the Bangkok’s Hidden Oasis which would make a fantastic and relaxing trip for anyone.

Before we start our tour, we will meet at the designated meeting point to have a short briefing and bike fitting. We will then start our exciting adventure to Bang Krachao. We will need to ride a local motorcycle ferry to cross the busy Chao Phraya River to reach the Bang Krachao. Just a short while you will arrive at the Bang Krachao and we will begin touring around the area by bike. The cycling paths here are often narrow pathways or elevated bike paths through plantations and villages also not forgetting the greeneries along the ride. We will stop by at an old betel nut family garden and have the same homemade refreshment and snacks accompanied by the view of the grand Chao Phraya River. Next up we will be going to the firefly garden in the mangrove forest.

After leaving the mangroves, we continue our cycling tour through local villages and plantations and stop at the Ganesh Shrine dedicated to the Hindu god of beginnings and the remover of obstacles. Our final destination of out tour in Bang Krachao will be the historical temple of Wat Bang Nam Phueng Nok. We will cross the river and cycle for a short while to reach the meeting point and marks the end of our tour.
