Bicycle Bangkok Urban Oasis Tour

If you're looking to escape from the busy city life, this tour into the greenery of Bang Krajao offers just the sort of outing you need. A peaceful bicycle ride through the orchards and jungle, across the river from the skyscrapers, gives you a blissful experience and a look at a new side of the city. Known as Bangkok's lung, this pocket of countryside offers you a look at the other side of Thailand's metropolis. You pick up your bicycle and set out for a 15-mile (25-km) ride. Cycle past banana and coconut orchards to the forested park of Sri Nakarin, and enjoy a picnic lunch amid the wilderness. The scenery will totally change from skyscrapers to luxuriant nature, with banana and coconut trees all around. From busy traffic road to serene narrow walk way. From roaring sounds of an engine to chirping sound of birds; sound of wind breezing through bamboo and tree leaves. Its a true paradise for bicycling in Bangkok. Cycling through this area, out of the city's pollution, you will notice the slower pace the locals lives at. You will spot Monitor lizards rushing into the water as you pass by and occasional turtles on the road side. The area of 30.89 sq. meters acts like a filter clearing urban pollution. This area is to be preserved as a green zone. The majority of the land is occupied by orchard with houses within fair distance from each other. The atmosphere is peaceful in the shade of trees. This is a trip will surprise you; Quietness so close to Bangkok's chaos is like heaven on earth.
