Opposite the shores of Khlong Toey is the rustic Phra Pradaeng. It’s a peninsula connected to Thonburi but most Thais, my guide said, calls it an island. It is nicknamed the lungs of Bangkok because of its greenery and pristine mangroves.
Most of the villages in Pradaeng are situated along Chao Phraya and the main canals. Resembling kelongs, the houses on the river are built on stilts and fishermen built enclosures to rear freshwater fishes.
