RiderLogGreen Lung Sunset Loop: 7 Stops, 12 km
Bang Kachao's raised jungle paths, a botanical garden, the weekend floating market, and two bridges that hold the last of the light over the river.
Bang Kachao is a peninsula of mangrove and coconut inside the river's biggest bend, twenty minutes from Sathorn and nothing like it. The paths are raised concrete a metre wide, so ride them slowly and give way to bicycles. Come out over Lat Pho and finish on the bridges while the sun is still on the water.
Open this loop on the Bangkok map. Distances are straight-line between stops, so a real ride through Bangkok traffic will read longer on the odometer.
-
Wat Pariwat Ratchasongkram
The famous “David Beckham Temple.” Traditional Buddhist decoration contains bizarre modern/pop-culture figures. Pikachu, superheroes, Beckham, etc. It has become more famous recently
-
Bang Nam Phueng Floating Market
The market itself is not the hidden part - the hidden part is leaving it. The small roads around it lead to coconut gardens, canals, wooden houses, garden cafés and plantations.
-
Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park and Botanical Garden
-
Lat Pho Park
Fascinating for the Chao Phraya flood-control engineering associated with King Bhumibol - a peaceful riverside park of enormous scale. Combine with Bang Kachao.
