Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
Discover the cyclist’s paradise of Bangkok's green lung, Bang Krachao, with its seemingly endless elevated biking paths winding through fertile mangrove forests, small farms, quiet villages and Buddhist temples.

Ferry to Bangkrachao and Cycle along the River Banks
Take a local motorcycle ferry across the busy Chao Phraya River. Then cycle elevated bike paths through local villages and plantations
The Old Betel Nut Garden
Stop for some homemade refreshments in a family garden commanding grand views of the Chao Phraya River and take a moment of two to contemplate the ship and barge traffic on the river.
The Firefly Garden
Before man ever came to Bang Krachao the area was a large mangrove forest which would light up at night with the lights of fireflies. Today members of the local community have created a reserve where you can come to see the mangroves as they once were and where the fireflies can flourish. You won’t see any fireflies during the day but feel welcome to come back at night.
