What people loved

Genuine green escape: forest paths, lakes, wooden bridges and abundant birdlife minutes from the CBDVery cheap: free park, ฿10–20 ferry and ฿30–80 bike hireCar-light raised bike paths through orchards and canals make for easy cyclingPeaceful on weekdays; a bird-watching tower and small cafés around the park

What wore them down

Getting to the pier is awkward — taxi or a long walk from the MRTHot and humid; go early. Rainy season (Jun–Oct) can wash out plansNarrow elevated walkways with no rails can be tricky for kids and novice cyclists; some gravel stretchesFloating market only runs on weekends, when the park is also busier
