Support local community by a visit Transfer to Bang Krachao by van. After a
quick bike fitting and a little briefing, we are off cycling the back roads
on the trail to Bang Krachao. Then cycle elevated bike paths through local
villages and plantations. Stop for some homemade refreshments in a family
garden commanding grand views of the Chao Phraya River and take a moment or
two to contemplate the ship and barge traffic on the river. Before man ever
came to Bang Krachao the area was a large mangrove forest which 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. 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. 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 resfreshment before return to hotel van. This tour will take about 4 hours. But the
time can vary by group. Snacks and drinks are included.
