The one route here that wants a bicycle — rent one at the pier for a few baht. A long-tail ferry from Khlong Toei crosses to the green lung in two minutes; the loop then rides elevated concrete paths through nipa palm and orchard, past the botanical park, the weekend floating market and the temple that turns plastic bottles into monks' robes. Flat, shaded, unforgettable.
The line is a real street-following walking route (OSRM foot profile, © OpenStreetMap contributors) — 8.9 km, about 107 minutes at walking pace. Follow the numbers.

Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Parkสวนศรีนครเขื่อนขันธ์
The protected core of the lung: botanical wetland, a lake of monitor lizards, and a birding tower over the canopy. The 1977 cabinet ruling that froze development is why any of this exists.
