All About this Tour
Take an adventure into the wilderness of Bangkok on a visit to the inner city of oasis of Bang Kra Jao. Best reached by boat, this island is often referred to as the "green lung" of Bangkok and incredibly, has been left untouched by city developers.
Journey back in time as your cross the river to a paradise of lush tropical vegetation and a slower, more traditional pace of life. Ride through local communities, pass villages and listen to the sounds of children playing. If it weren't for the city skyline, you would never believe you're still within Bangkok city limits! Discover tropical fruits and flowers along the way as the trail leads to an ancient temple. The peeled-off paint revealing the underlying bricks confesses the age of the temple, built many hundreds of years ago.
The total ride is about 25 kilometers starting with a short section in the city before crossing the river. From there it's a combination of minor roads and elevated pathways, through temple gardens and tropical jungle with no hills. The elevated canal pathways may not be suitable for those afraid of heights, but we think these add to the adventure!
Meeting Point
We meet at the back parking lot of Suan Plearn Market on Rama IV Road. If taking the BTS you need to get off at Phromphong station, use exit 4 and walk straight to Sukhumvit Soi 26. Here you can take a motorcycle taxi or a regular taxi to Suan Plearn Market, distance is 2.6 km and it takes only 10 minutes traveling. We don't recommend walking.
