Walk Through Bangkok's 'Green Lung' Bang Krachao Park
Bang Krachao park is a hidden green paradise next to the polluted concrete jungle Bangkok – with lush trees, clean air, birds singing and water lapping.
The green escape has been called a 'hidden jungle oasis' and a 'green lung' thanks to the thick forest covering the massive site. The park forms a small island in the Chao Phraya River. It spans 1,920 hectares of land made up of communities that are home to more than 13,000 people, farmlands, and forests in the Phra Pradaeng District of Samut Prakan.

Thailand's first vertical 'robot parking' system opened this month to ease traffic in the capital Bangkok.
The machine next to Sam Yan MRT station can hold 16 cars which it lifts to different elevated levels after the driver has pulled onto the metal cage and left the vehicle.
Operators of the Ferris wheel structure claim that the whole parking process can be completed in under 90 seconds.
The cost is 15 Baht (0.48 USD) for two hours if the driver uses the MRT, or 50 Baht (1.60 USD) an hour if the driver does not use the MRT.
