Travel / Bangkok
Essential pitstop
Fed by the nutrient-rich waters of the Chao
Phraya, much of Bang Krachao is fringed by
mangrove, while the interior is smothered in
thick jungle. Those on two wheels can take
to the island’s network of elevated concrete
pathways, which give locals access to
a smattering of one-storey homes nestling
under the dense canopy.
“Those biking across Bang Krachao at the
weekend should definitely stop at Bang Nam
Pheung,” says Patricia. “Unlike many other
Bangkok markets, this floating bazaar is not
a tourist trap – there’s still a really authentic
feel. This is where many islanders and
Bangkok residents come to buy cheap
local produce every week.”
