    We're into the top 10 on the things to do in Bangkok list and this one is a unique experience that you should add to your travel plans. This series is your Thailand Travel Guide and I hope you are getting ready for your next trip here soon.

    The rooms at the Bangkok Tree House are actually small houses with 2 floors, an “outdoor” bathroom, and a roof top terrace for each house. Surrounded by the scents and the sounds and the sweet darkness of the jungle it’s almost an out of this world surreal experience to lie on the rooftop daybed watching the mega city’s skyscrapers way out there in the distance over the tree tops. Highly recommended as is everything else about the green lung! The green lung is a very popular place with Bangkokians for weekend outings and slow paced bicycle rides.
    Thanks a lot for sharing this, Chris! Absolutely and deservedly among the top ten places to enjoy in Bangkok

    To get to Bang Krachao, you can cross the river at two points. The easier, but much further away, option is to go to Wat Bangna Nok, where larger boats are available. From this pier, motorcycles and bicycles can also board a ferry to Bang Krachao. Simply take the BTS to Bangna station, then a motorcycle taxi to the pier.

    The episode I was hoping for. Definitely one of my favourite parts of Bangkok. You did it justice! I haven't spent enough time in Thai countryside to equate it with that ... for me it was always jump on the boat, cross the river and go back in time 100 years. One of my favourite places in the world to get lost on a long sweaty run on those narrow pathways.

    When I retired 10 years ago, I biked to this place with a group of elderly bikers and explored the place for half a day, having lunch here. Bang Kachao changes a lot from your video. Then there were not so many cafes and places to eat. The yellow flowers in full bloom throughout Bangkok at this time are Royal Trumpet in Thai we call Thong (gold) Urai (sparkle). BTW, I biked from Pakkret, met with friends under Rama V bridge and biked to this place. Highly recommended biking around here!

    Don't you know Christ Dusit Zoo was gone. They already changed their location (and name). It's not in Bangkok right now but Phatumthani so don't worry. Old Zoo is changed to be the new park with King Rama IX monument as Lumipini park and Benchakitti park but not opened yet.

    I love this small cafe Coconut lane. After a long ride almost to the end of Bangkajao, we had a good relaxation here with a nice view of the local farm and truly the feeling of this island with less hassle in the east side. I just know that there's accommodation here. I'd love to try next time.

    Man, I wish I had seen this sooner! I had no idea there was so much going on in The Green Lung. I will definitely rent a motorbike and go the long way to spend some time there the next time we're in Bangkok (we have plans until we fly out this time). Thanks for another awesome video.

      In Srinakorn Park, I used to come across the largest water lizard I'd ever seen in my life. It is larger than the ones in Lumpini Park. Even though I've seen these creatures before, the fact that the one I saw that day was nearly the size of a full-grown alligator is terrifying.

    I went here today based on your video. Great place to ride a bike, not much traffic and lots of bike lanes, and you don't have to be on the narrow concrete bits. So quiet on a Monday and reminded me of being in Asian cities before sky scrapers! If riding your on your own bike you can also take it on the boat. Definitely one for cyclists to do in Bangkok along with riding the track around the airport ! 😆

    By opting for the pedal bike I'd say I got the full authentic experience here. One of the pedals was broke and hard to push down. The thai man said, "Sir do you want a working bike?" Me "heck no this just adds to the experience and makes it more authentic I'll take the broken one!". Poor breaks, chains slipping gears ⚙️ it was awesome! At the end it rained very hard on me and I was soaked, but it didn't matter I still couldn't go much faster lol

    I have a couple of points to provide as information. First, Bangkrachao was strategically and intentionally kept un-developed to keep the area as green lung to provide oxygen to Bangkok. Second, Dusit zoo is no more: the site is cleared for construction of a new hospital. A new larger zoo is under construction in Pathum Thani.
