Google map: for live link, scroll down page to Google street view How to get to Bang Krachao There are a couple of different ways to get to Bang Krachao from central Bangkok, one of them would be just by taking a taxi directly there. However, I’ll go over the steps for the method I normally take, and I think it’s the most direct, and fun way to get there. Take a taxi or bus (#47) to Wat Khlong Toey Nok (วัดคลองเตยนอก), in the Khlong Toey area of Bangkok. It’s just about 5 minutes from Asoke BTS / MRT. The taxi will probably drop you off at the gate of the temple (pictured), and you just walk through the entrance, and keep walking straight until you get to the river pier. At the pier, just say you want to cross over to Bang Krachao, and you’ll pay 10 THB, walk onto the dock and wait for the next boat to take you across. The boat will drop you off at the Bang Krachao dock, where you can rent a bicycle and continue on your relaxing day trip.

AttractionsSince much of Phra Pradaeng is subject to flooding, and even half of the peninsula is marshland most of the time, in order for people that live there to live, some have their homes built on stilts, and the walkways elevated, about 2 meters off the ground.
You do need a little bit of balance to bike down the elevated walkways in Bang Krachao, but it’s so much fun biking down these peaceful lanes, with forest spilling over on either side.
