Bangkrachao is located on the southern of Bangkok, to reach there, just cross Chao Phraya River by boat from Klongtoey pier to the greenery of Bangkrachao.
(Long tail boat)

It is an absolute and immediate change from the other side of the river (Klongtoey) as at Bangkrachao there is no tall building, not many cars, cleaner air and very dense greenery. Factories, industries are not allowed in this area that is why Bangkrachao is called the "Lung of Bangkok". Here you will see the simple life style still maintained since 30 years ago, an ancient chapel in the old temples, local schools, and tropical fruit plantations.

The main mode of getting around Bangkrachao for the tourists and the locals is by walking, motorcycling, and biking on elevated concrete pathways. Riding upon these elevated concrete pathways, usually not wider than a dining room table, is the most challenging part of this trip. Underneath the elevated concrete pathways is the base of one of the groves filled with water, and also, the 90 degree angled turns that do catch the cyclists by surprise, even though they have been warned about them.

08:00 Pick up at your accommodation.
09:30 Arrive at the Klongtoey Pier, board the long tail boat cross Chao Phraya River to the Bangkrachao pier.
10:00 Arrive Bangkrachao Pier, select a bicycle and pedal on local roads along nice atmosphere, get new experience cycling on the Elevated Concrete Pathways that criss-cross between groves of palm trees. Enjoy with the beautiful nature.
11:00 Break, relax and have a drink at the local professional training center.
11:45 Continue cycling to explore the greenery area along the route. While you are cycling, there will be many places for a photo opportunity. One that will make a perfect setting is the ancient chapel in old temples, local schools, local people foot massage, handicraft center, and tropical fruit plantations that you never seen elsewhere in Bangkok. Greet with the local people along the route.
12:00 Take a long tail-motor boat back to Klongtoey Pier and transfer to the accommodations.
