Named as the "best urban oasis" by Time in 2006, Bang Krachao is at heart a man-made island in Phra Pradaeng District, Samut Prakarn. It covers a space of 16 square kilometers that focuses on agriculture, hence the title of Bangkok's green lungs.
In 2016, the military government promoted its goal to preserve Bang Krachao with the collaboration with many partners and developed the island with a variety of attractions like public parks, cafés, and hostels.
