Bang Krachao

Bike tours

Make your way around Bangkok by cycling along on a guided tour. Travel through lesser-known parts of the Thai capital and dive into its green lung to escape the hustle and bustle of the busy city. Cross the river on a long-tail boat and enjoy a delicious typical meal. Meet at the activity provider's office and admire the views from the Chao Praya riverbanks before catching the ferry. Once at the other side of the river, find yourself in the Bangkrachao sub-district, also known as the "Green Lung of Bangkok”. Cycle on elevated pathways through lush vegetation and in the shade of coconut palms and banana trees. Stop at a local Buddhist temple: Wat Bang Krasop. If time and the principal allow, pay a short visit to the elementary school next to the temple to say hello to the children. Continue the bicycle ride deeper into the jungle and reach a Muay Thai boxing gym. Learn about the national sport and perhaps take a short lesson from the master. A tip to the master is not mandatory, but common and very much appreciated. Ride across a market and the beautiful Srinakonkhenkan park, and make another stop at Ganesh, a Hindu god, where the guide will tell you how this God was adopted by the Thai Buddhists. Take a break at a local restaurant to enjoy a typical Thai meal, such as Pad Thai or Kao Pad with shrimp, crab, pork, chicken, or vegetables. After your meal, return to the pier and take the ferry back to the hustle and bustle of Bangkok again.

Escape the concrete jungle of Bangkok city center and go for an E-Scooter ride on what’s known as Bangkok’s Jungle island - Bang Krachao. You'll meet you at near Khlong Toei Pier, from there you’ll walk to the pier where we board a local ferry boat to cross the Chao Phraya River. As soon as you get off the boat at the other side of the river, it feels like we arrived in a totally different world. No high-rise buildings, almost no traffic and lots of trees and plants. Welcome to the ‘Green Lung’ of Bangkok! You’ll receive a short demonstration on how to operate your electric scooter before starting. After we set off we’ll scoot along at a laid-back pace making sure you’re feeling comfortable and enjoying the scooter ride. We'll take you off-the-beaten track to places that would be hard to find as a tourist, you’ll see: mangrove forests, coconut plantations and gardens of the hidden oasis as you scoot the quiet pathways at a relaxed pace. Look out for birds, squirrels and even lizards, and stop for refreshments at an old betel nut plantation. After exploring the island you’ll sit down by the river for some lunch before crossing back over, where you’ll get back to your accommodation.

Make your first stop of the day at Khlong Toei Market, Bangkok’s largest fresh market. Watch the vendors sell their produce to the busy locals and stroll around the stalls, taking in the sights, smells, and sounds. From there, hop on an iconic tuk-tuk and head to the pier. Board a ferry that’ll take you across the Chao Phraya River. Cycle to Bang Krachao, also called ‘Bangkok Jungle’ or Bangkok’s ‘Green Lung’. Discover one of the rare places in Bangkok where you’ll find yourself immersed in greenery and trees. Spend your time exploring this artificial oasis, passing through banana trees, coconut plantations, and local houses. Stop at a public park and feed the fish, before making your way to a Muay Thai school to observe students practicing the beloved Thai sport. Afterward, visit a local Buddhist temple and stop at a neighborhood Thai restaurant for lunch before taking the ferry back across the river to Khlong Toei Pier. Choose to cycle in a small group or to have your own private guide. Opt to have a private tour with a pickup service, or simply meet your private guide at the meeting point. Enjoy a low-impact way of exploring. On this tour, you explore sustainable experiences that prioritize providing water in glass bottles and offsetting carbon emissions in every tour, reducing your environmental impact and carbon footprint.

Meet and greet your guide at a local temple at about 2:00 PM before you transfer to Bangkok Krachoa by local ferry. Chose the cruiser bike that best suits you, and start biking around nature paths on Bangkachoa island which is known as the lung of Bangkok. Bike to different parts of river island on a 7-10 kilometer trail and see communities, local farms, palm jungles, schools, villages, and temples. Kayak along private houses and get stunning views of the jungle and Klong Toey Port. During the weekend, stop at the floating market to get some snacks and do some local shopping. Watch birds at the observation hall in Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan park. Take a local longtail boat for a short ride. Discover how locals connect between the villages and the Bangkok metropolitan area. Return the cruiser bike and say goodbye to the local shop owner with a fresh coconut refreshment.
