Bangkok is understood to many as a concrete jungle. And because the need for the outside grew through the pandemic lockdowns, so did the recognition of Bang Krachao.
A five-minute boat journey throughout the Chao Phraya River, Bang Krachao has lengthy been a hidden gem for locals on the lookout for a breath of contemporary air within the metropolis. The island is called Bangkok’s inexperienced lung as it’s believed to assist counter town’s carbon footprint and air air pollution.
You may take a taxi from Khlong Toei MRT station to Khlong Toei Pier (it’s subsequent to Khlong Toei Port, so you should definitely give the driving force the fitting location) to get on the boat.
It prices 10 baht for a one-way boat journey and the service comes each 10 minutes and runs till 8pm day by day.
For my journey to the island, I get a bit rickety wood boat, which may seat at most three folks. This might not be comfy for households with youngsters. However for my return journey, I get a correct ferry, which may accommodate about 20 folks. On the island, you may lease a bicycle for about 80 baht for a full day.
When you set off, it’s onerous to imagine you might be close to Bangkok in any respect, with the sprawling jungles, wood homes and water our bodies. I take a leisurely journey within the Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park, which is dwelling to huge gardens and wildlife. You may cease for a meal or drink at any of the cafes dotting the island and, in case you go to on a weekend, pop by the Bang Nam Peung Market.
