Our cycling adventure:

We had the opportunity to explore five amazing spots:

1. Phop Rak Na Bang Phrueang:

This charming riverside restaurant and cafe offers a delightful atmosphere and diverse menu. We were lucky to snag a table by the water, enjoying a refreshing meal with a stunning view. They also offer accommodation options.

Seafood Tom Yum Fried Rice

•Bangkok tree house•

This restaurant is located near the Pob Rak restaurant. It is a shady and cool place with both indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered sticky rice with mango and red soda with lime, which tasted good. It is a nature resort that is worth considering and not far from Bangkok.

•Baan Thup Hom•

Baan Thup Hom is a community enterprise that offers workshops on making fragrant incense and tie-dyeing fabrics. The workshops are led by the Bang Nam Phueng Housewives Group, who focus on using local herbs as ingredients. When we visited, there were freshly dyed fabrics hanging to dry, and the colors were stunning. The atmosphere is shady and relaxing, and they also offer bicycle rentals. ^^ The opening hours are approximately 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM.

•Bang Nam Phueng Market•

Located behind Bang Nam Phueng Temple, the market is bustling on Saturdays and Sundays, offering a wide variety of delicious food. We arrived at the market around noon and enjoyed browsing the stalls for souvenirs. The market is a hub for OTOP products from Samut Prakan province. Visitors can also rent paddle boats to explore the surrounding area.

• Srinakarin Dam Public Park •

We arrived at this park last because it was the closest. We arrived around 5 pm and saw people exercising, picnicking, cycling, and enjoying various activities. It's a great place to relax and unwind.

The park offers various spots for cycling, including pavilions by the water, a pier pavilion, a bird watching tower, and a fish feeding area.

This area is popular with cyclists.

Thank you for following our journey and photos.^^

See you on our next trip.
