Bang Krachao (Bangkok's Green Lung)
A bend in the Chao Phraya that was never built on: raised concrete paths, jungle, stilt houses and no cars.

It is the strangest and most rewarding half-day in Bangkok — you cross the river by ferry and cycle through a village that feels a hundred kilometres from the city.
How to visit it well
- Take the ferry from Wat Klong Toei pier.
- Rent a bike at the pier; the paths are flat and shaded.
- The Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan park has a birdwatching tower.
