Samut Prakan and the River Mouth: 13 Places to Ride To
Where the Chao Phraya finally reaches the sea, an hour south of the old town. The pins out here are coastal temples reached through mangrove, a fort museum on a river island, and flat causeways over shrimp farms that make the best sunset run out of Bangkok. This is a ride rather than a detour, so leave with a full tank.
