Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park And Botanical Garden is located in Phra Pradaeng.It is green park. it's just a few minutes in a boat from bangkok (klong toey pier) and cheap to get there.Can rent a cycle to get there and cycle around. this park is beautiful with a lot of plants and ponds. is the best part of Bang Krachao for my money. Large park, with loads of bike and hiking trails. Bikes are welcome! The park has lots of wetlands and old orchards, green areas, ponds and swamps. Keep your eyes peeled for birds and monitor lizards. Enjoyable place! Highly recommended. Peaceful place where you can cycle inside, enjoy the lush greens, fresh air and wildlife. Botanical Garden is a real green gem south of Bangkok where the Chao Phraya River forms a kind of peninsula. This park isn't damaged from the crowds and so it's great to relax from the busy city vibe. It's mainly popular with locals as tourist hardly make all the way from the city center. At entrance you'll find sufficient parking lots and some food stalls to buy some refreshments. It's also a great location for jogging or roller-skating. A place we like to enjoy...

Not far from anywhere in Bangkok this literal green osasis is a must see for locals and tourists alike. Cheap bicycle rentals afford you the opportunity to explore the grounds. Climb the stairs of the bird tower for a true bird's-eye view of the tree tops and the variety of birds. Or if you'd rather just stroll the grounds. Picnics are a natural here, although my family likes to go to one of the nearby Outdoor dinning restaurants with succulent grilled chicken, somtum and sticky rice. No matter what your choice it's a great getaway to this marvelous place.

Unfortunately, things are chaging. The rude old man at the gate is now the photography police. We never had an issue before but now he says we can only take pictures with our phones. And he didn't say it nicely, he was extremely rude to my family. I think the parks department needs to retire some if these people or at the least teach them about how to speak politely. I will think twice about going back there. Maybe if enough people get treated badly things...
