Bangkok is a bustling city with much to offer, but if you are keen to get away from the incessant traffic, noise, and heat, consider retreating to Bang Krachao, known fondly as the lungs of the city. Bang Krachao, features expansive green spaces just across the winding Chao Phraya River from Klong Toey. Once the settlement of ethnic Burmese Mons, this space consists of beautiful orchards and carefully tended gardens, which you can explore at your leisure.
