Experience Bang Kra Jao, an island referred to as the “Green Lung” of Bangkok for its natural beauty, best reached by boat and explored by bicycle.
While in Bang Kra Jao, cycle through minor roads and elevated pathways, through temple gardens and tropical jungle with no hills, passing by traditional villages and local communities with smiling faces.
Stop for lunch at the Bangkok Tree House, famous for their green architecture, sustainability initiatives and unmatched commitment to the environment.
The Bangkok Tree House is a celebration of nature, a concept green hotel & restaurant where locally sourced bamboo is a major component in the construction process. They also employ upcycling of discarded materials, including the driftwood that washes onto the riverside, discarded juice cartons are used to insulate the walls, used plastic drums used to build the pier, and reclaimed wood used to build the walkways, all explained in the Green Alphabet of the property’s features.
Visit the Tree House Organic Restaurant, enjoy the local organic food and learn about their design concept, upcycling, green energy and water initiatives.
