Bang Kachao: Bangkok's Hidden "Green Lung" — So Healing! 🌳🌿

#summervacay On this trip, we decided to slow things down. Instead of the usual frantic pace of rushing from one sight to another, we quietly stepped into Bangkok's green lung: Bang Kachao, also affectionately known as "Pig's Stomach Island" due to its shape. We visited Bangkajao Craft, where we learned the art of bundle-dyeing with plants and making Thai essential oils. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, treating us like friends and meticulously sharing every story and detail. What truly touched us was how down-to-earth and sincere the people here are; they don't treat you as just another tourist there to consume. On this little island, far from the city's hustle and bustle, it felt as though all worries could be temporarily set aside. Time seemed to slow down, allowing us to reconnect with the warmth of life and the healing power of nature. It was a truly rejuvenating experience. #slowtravel #bangkok #bangkokhiddengems #bangkachao #thailandoffthebeatenpath #handmadeessentialoils #plantdye #bangkokisland #healingjourney #pigstomachisland 🇹🇭✨
