Why is Bang Krachao such a popular destination?

Last Saturday, we went in search of answers . . . and found that we shouldn't have gone at all.

Because it makes us . . . fall in love with Bangkok

Follow me, and we will fall in love together. ^V^

9:30 AM. Just stepped out of the house (a bit late, sis...hehe).

This trip, we traveled by BTS Skytrain and got off at Bang Na Station, Exit 2.

Take a taxi to Wat Bang Na Nok and ask the driver to drop you off at the pier.

As I arrived, the boat was just about to depart. I quickly jumped on board.

A short 5-minute ferry ride brought us to our destination. We queued to pay the **4 baht per person ferry fare** at this point. (Note that payment for both the outward and return journeys is made at this single location.)

The image depicts the front of "Wat Bang Krachao Nok" temple. (This photo was taken on our way back.)

The surrounding area boasts numerous shops and bicycle rental stores.

It seems that the daily rental price is now cheaper, with plenty of options available.

We strolled along until we stumbled upon this shop: "Giant's Shop - Tum".

Bicycle rental fee: 50 Baht per day

Free: 1 bottle of water

Bonus: 1 bottle of chrysanthemum tea

Bonus: 1 cold towel

Free maps are available.

Wait a minute... With all these freebies, it's practically like giving it away for free, Mr. Suchart. ^V^

This establishment is highly recommended for those who appreciate generous complimentary items and exceptional service.

The shop is the second one on the right after you leave the pier.

10:00 AM: After picking up the car, it's time to start cycling. Starting from the car rental point, drive straight ahead to the three-way intersection and turn left.

Then, continue spinning according to "google".

Our first destination today is the Bang Nam Phueng Floating Market.

This is a very large and expansive floating market.

A wide variety of fresh, organic vegetables, fruits from the orchard, food, and daily necessities are available.

This market also offers a variety of hard-to-find traditional desserts, such as Khao Tom Nua Vuon.

Ancient stuffed tofu pockets are made from bean curd skin and filled with ground pork, shrimp, taro, and carrots.

Deep-fried and served with sweet dipping sauce.

A wide variety of delicious Thai desserts.

Freshly prepared and ready to eat, choose and enjoy while walking. It's truly a delightful experience.

Alternatively, if you prefer to dine in, there are various options available, including rice shops, rice noodle stalls, and satay vendors. Seating is provided for your convenience.

For breakfast, we had chicken noodle soup. The taste was average, and we were not particularly impressed.

We highly recommend trying this restaurant's "Crispy Spring Roll Pizza." It's similar to a thin-crust pizza, but the crust is made from incredibly thin Vietnamese rice paper. You can choose your toppings from ham, bacon, chicken, crab, or seafood. The pizza is then finished with sauce and a generous amount of cheese.

It tends to be rather long-winded like this.

.... Oh, really ......

The most popular activity at every market is "fish sauce dipping with crispy catfish."

This angle will extend the accuracy.

The elderly owners of the shop are very kind.

At the end of the market, there is a pier and a kayak rental service for paddling in the canal.

This activity is also worth considering for those who visit in the late afternoon.

We only explored a small part of the market before hurrying back to continue our journey elsewhere.

Return to the car, open Google Maps, and start navigating again.

As I was about to turn into the alley, I came across two people.

Two older siblings: Excuse me, excuse me, you can't cycle this way. It's a dead end, and construction workers are building a house there.

"Oh, Google tricked me again... How do I get to Baan Thup Hom?"

Two seniors: They took our map and said, "Just keep cycling straight ahead, and you'll see a sign..."

...and please don't cycle towards the Chao Phraya River (I'm worried about you... ^V^)

We then decided to stop relying on Google Maps and started navigating on our own.

11:30 AM: The entrance to "Baan Thup Hom" is easily identifiable. It is located directly across from the parking lot. Follow the signs for 150 meters and you will find it.

Those who want to learn how to make incense or D.I.Y. tie-dye fabric, a unique piece of your own creation, should not miss this opportunity.

Small cloths cost 60 baht each, large cloths cost 120-150 baht each, and shirts cost 180 baht each.

The professor will guide you through each step of the process.

Tie-dyeing typically takes 45-60 minutes. However, if you are short on time, you can simply apply the dye and then wash the fabric at home.

Examples of fabric patterns and finished fabrics are displayed for your viewing pleasure. If you find a pattern you like, you can purchase it and take it home.

13:00 Depart from Baan Thup Hom, turn left for approximately 50 meters, ascend the slope, and turn left again.

Follow the signs and you will eventually find "Bangkok Tree House".

Indeed, this location is a true landmark of Bang Krachao, boasting exceptional beauty.

There were also a large number of people and bicycles.

Beautiful from every angle.

It also has a high angle for taking pictures and enjoying the view.

Moreover, the staff here are exceptionally friendly.

We initially planned to have lunch here, but seeing the long queue, we decided to eat elsewhere instead.

2:00 PM: Depart from Bangkok Tree House and turn left. We will arrive at Wat Bang Nam Phueng Nok (the point where we boarded the boat this morning).

Cycle back the way you came and turn left. At the three-way intersection, continue straight ahead. You will come across "Mushroom Farm Chang Daeng." This location features both a mushroom farm and a restaurant. Every dish on the menu is made entirely of mushrooms, with no meat. This is a must-try for health-conscious individuals and vegetarians.

While waiting for your food, you can visit the mushroom farm inside. A staff member will guide you through the farm and explain the mushroom cultivation process.

The food arrived quickly. Today, we ordered mushroom salad, fried mushrooms, and spicy mushroom salad.

The woman was worried she wouldn't be full, so she added another cup of five-mushroom soup for her to try. How kind! ^V^

The meal concludes with a refreshing and sweet three-mushroom drink, perfect for alleviating fatigue.

Today's damage is 180 baht. It was delicious and very cheap! ^V^

3:30 PM. After a satisfying meal, we have the energy to continue cycling. Our next destination is another landmark zone.

Exit the mushroom farm and continue straight. Turn right at the three-way intersection.

Continue cycling until you reach the temple gate, then turn left. Follow the signs from there.

.

Been riding for a while, almost out of gas, gotta stop and fill up quick.

The deeper we cycled, the more beautiful the scenery became. We stopped periodically to admire the views.

Turn left at the sign that reads "Soi 2 Museum".

This is a "local museum" that collects antiques for future generations to see.

The kind owner of the house, who also manages the museum, personally gave us a tour. ^^

The museum houses a collection of artifacts and ancient banknotes that we have never seen before.

Who has used it before? ^V^

4:40 PM. Looking at the time again, it's almost 5 PM. I have to hurry to the next place. I planned to stop by the "Betta Fish Museum" before going to Suan Sri, because it closes at 5 PM. And we really didn't make it in time. We arrived just as they were closing. I only managed to take this picture of the betta fish. (T____T)

No worries, we can try again next time.

5:10 PM. Leaving the museum, turn left at the intersection. Cycle a little further and you will reach "Sri Nakhon Khuan Khan Park". The evening atmosphere is very cool.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints today, I must proceed directly to the checkpoint.

Many visitors to this birdwatching tower enjoy the challenge of "capturing difficult poses."

Undeterred, we continued playing for another two or three rounds, much to the chagrin of those waiting in line. 😜

As I walked out after taking the photo, I passed a group of elementary school students with their father. One of the students asked me,

Child: Big sister, big sister, do you see a lot of birds?
Me: I smiled sweetly at the child before replying,
"No."
(It's not that I didn't see any birds, but I wasn't there to watch them... I hurried away, embarrassed by the child... haha ^V^)

A scene of people jogging for exercise. A scene of parents bringing their children to feed the fish.

The sight of young men and women exercising with their dogs adds to the charm of this park.

6:30 PM. The sun is setting, signaling that it is time for us to return.

One-day trip to Bangkok concludes.

A day spent off the beaten path, with a few detours and unexpected turns, but ultimately filled with joy.

One day of exercise, I didn't think I would be able to do this much (thanks to Google for making me cycle more ^V^)

A small price to pay for the invaluable experiences and friendships gained along the way, making it truly worthwhile.

...And you... Would you like to spend a day in your own designed style like this? ??????
