Bang Kachao
บางกะเจ้า
A peninsula oasis in a bend of the Chao Phraya, known as Bangkok's green lung, where you can cycle through coconut groves and along elevated wooden boardwalks.
Bang Kachao is a peninsula encircled by the U-shaped bend of the Chao Phraya, and it belongs to Samut Prakan province. It retains extensive orchards, mangroves and water villages, and large-scale development is prohibited. Most visitors take a ferry across from Wat Khlong Toei Nok pier near Khlong Toei, then rent a bicycle at the pier for about 100 baht a day. From there, ride to Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park and a bird-watching tower. On weekends you can also visit the Bang Nam Phueng Floating Market.
