Bang Krachao (Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park)

The park is an amazing green oasis where you'd never realize you were still in Bangkok. It was a nice half day trip to take a break from the big city. The bird watching was amazing! TIPS: Due to traffic, I highly suggest taking a car to the ferry and taking the ferry the rest of the way. From there, you can rent a bicycle and it is a short bike ride to the park. This will save you a LOT of time compared to driving straight to the park. The quality of the bikes at the other end of the ferry are significantly better than the ones you can rent at the park. The ferry bikes have more options and way better tires so you can go off the paved path. Finally, bring bug spray :)

We ended up here randomly after deciding to take a short public ferry across the river to discover what was on the other side. It's a nice, quiet place, not very big, and there aren't any impressive flowers or anything that we could see, but still, the walkway across the water was pretty and we enjoyed a respite from the crowds. We also saw a Komodo dragon swimming in the water, which was pretty cool.😎

Nice park with paved path for walking, running and cycling. Highly suggest feeding the fish in large pond - there are some big fish in there. Park has several spots to stop and take in the beautiful scenery and watch the wildlife.
