Bang Krachao island or Bangkok’s green lung is a green oasis located in the heart of Bangkok. It’s a calming natural space in the chaotic city. The best way to explore this man-made island is by a bicycle.Why is Bang Krachao special?
Bang Krachao is a big agricultural area consisting of 16 square kilometres of mangrove forest, canals, and homesteads, you can get a great view of the canals from elevated walkways but they are not for the faint-hearted! There’s also a completely floating market, old Buddhist temples, and an eco-resort complete with tree houses that you can sleep in. Many tourists like to hire a bicycle to explore the island and get a first-hand view of the traditional Thai lifestyle and culture.
The reason that all this is special is that all this tranquillity and traditional culture exists right in the middle of one of the busiest and most rapidly developing cities in the world!
