Start Time: 9 am – End Time: 1 pm

Meet at the Bearing Skytrain Station

Behind the Bearing BTS 7 -11 store you will find the Grasshopper Adventures meeting point (use exit 5 from the BTS station if that is how you are arriving at the meeting point). After a quick bike fitting and a little briefing, we are off cycling the back roads on the trail to Bang Krachao.

Ferry to Bangkrachao and Cycle along the River Banks

Take a local motorcycle ferry across the busy Chao Phraya River. Then cycle elevated bike paths through local villages and plantations

The Old Betel Nut Garden

Stop for some homemade refreshments in a family garden commanding grand views of the Chao Phraya River and take a moment of two to contemplate the ship and barge traffic on the river.

The Firefly Garden

Before man ever came to Bang Krachao the area was a large mangrove forest that would light up at night with the lights of fireflies. Today members of the local community have created a reserve where you can come to see the mangroves as they once were and where the fireflies can flourish. You won’t see any fireflies during the day but feel welcome to come back at night.

The Ganesh Shrine

Meandering away from the mangroves through villages and local Buddhist temples, stop to visit a shrine to Ganesh, the Hindu god of beginnings and the remover of obstacles. Followers of his cult in Thailand have established a lovely shrine to Ganesh in Bangkrachao.

Wat Bang Namphueng Nok

Coming to the end of the Bang Krachao trail we stop for a moment to visit the historical temple of Wat Bang Nam Phueng Nok and take some refreshments before we cross back across the Chao Phraya River.

Return to the Meeting Point

Back across the river it is a short ride back to the Grasshopper meeting point.

This tour will take about 4 hours. But the time can vary by group. Snacks and drinks are included.
