Bangkok: Home to an Urban Wetland

As the capital of Thailand, Bangkok is a popular destination for most visitors to get a taste of Thailand because of its convenient transportation. Bangkok has more than just glorious Buddhist temples and high buildings. Bang Krachao, known as the "Green Lung of Bangkok", is a must-see alluvial island for tourists visiting Thailand. In the Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park on this island,  tourists can travel by wooden boats or bikes. It is the best place to get away from the bustling cities.

Bangkok is a popular destination for most tourists to get a taste of Thailand due to its convenient transportation. The "Green Lung of Bangkok", Bang Krachao, known as the "green lung of Bangkok", is beckoning to be explored by tourists. Since there is no bridge connecting the island, so it is accessible only by boat.

Sri Nakhon Khuen Khan Park is the island's garden oasis at its heart. Being one of the largest parks in Bangkok, this vast wetland park covers a vast area of 111,000 square meters. The best way to explore Sri Nakhon Khuen Khan Park is by bike. The park offers "user-friendly" bike routes and cyclists can even ride across the wooden bridges over lakes. Moreover, adventurous visitors can go to the back of the park where a one-kilometer dirt road winds through the jungle. It is truly a "treasure" for those who want to get close to nature and escape the bustling cities.

After visiting the park, it might be a good option to go to  Bang Nam Peung Floating Market, the most popular place on Bang Krachao. Instead of floating on the water, the market is built around a canal. The area of the market is actually quite large, covering several alleys. A wide variety of local food and handicrafts are for sale in the market. Visitors can pick up souvenirs with local characteristics here.
