What to expect
Bang Krachao Pier
Our first stop will be at one of the hidden communities among all this modern development; although designated as a ‘slum’, the people here call it home for many years and thrive on local trading and working at one of the nearby factories. One of the highlights (closed on school and public holidays) will be a stop at the community kindergarten. Before we reach the local boat pier, we stop at a sweat shop to move into the green part of the city. After a quick refreshing drink, we board the awaiting long tail boat and cross the mighty Chao Phraya River and the Jungle of Bangkok will doom up upon us. This is the greenest area of Bangkok and elevated concrete paths will be our guidance through the lush vegetation, local stilted homes where the residents thrive from working on coconut palm plantations and the cultivation of bananas. En route, we stop for a small, typical Thai meal. Before we reach the boat ferry to head back to the other side of Bangkok, we make a stop at a very old, non-touristic Buddhist temple. But we unfortunately have to catch the boat to head back to the starting point. From the boat jetty to the office, we pass a Muay Thai training school. With its origins dating back more than hundreds of years, it is an additional added-value to an already wonderful experience. After 4 - 4.5 hours, we reach the starting point of our tour and our driver will bring you back in comfort to your hotel.
