Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Phra Sumen Fort, Phra Athit Road, Bangkok Thailand

While cars are great to get you to some of the more popular tourist spots, one of the best ways to discover Bangkok’s culture is by cycling through the city’s narrow streets and visiting some of the locals’ favorite haunts. We’ll bring you to temples, forts, markets, railways, churches, local neighborhoods, and even an art gallery – all in just half a day!

We’ll start the day early and meet at the bike rental shop where you’ll be outfitted with your bike and helmet and given a quick briefing. Once we’re all set, we’ll cycle to Phra Sumen Fort.

My local guide was so informative about both Thai history and each stop along the bike tour. I was nervous to be on a tour solo, but this ended up being a highlight of my trip. I can't recommend it enough.
