What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Chinatown - Bangkok, Yaowarat Road Samphanthawong, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100 Thailand
Starting in the heart of Chinatown, our bike ride explores its frenetic market environment. Winding through narrow alleyways, our senses come alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of a community in motion. We’ll pass by shophouses selling everything from Buddhist amulets to recycled truck engines. Locals worshiping at hidden temples, ritual paper burnings, and the omnipresent spirit house display evidence of a culture centuries in the making.
Pass By: Chao Phraya River, 780/488 Charoen Krung Road, Bang Kho Laem, Bangkok 10120 Thailand
Crossing the Chao Phraya River to Thailand's former capital, Thonburi. We cross either by cycling over the bridge, or take a local ferry.

We did this tour in mid April, our first day of our Thailand holiday. Simply put, it was brilliant. The sights, sounds, smells…and of course the heat of Bangkok were on full supply! And what others have said on here is so true - the tour takes you a little off the beaten track, into some of the less well trodden streets and alleyways of Bangkok and gives you a small window into the lives of some of the locals. The cycling was at a very steady pace, on mostly flat ground. Some of the route was very narrow, and crowded, but fine to ride through if you’re confident on a bike or walk if not (all of our group handled it no problem). The guides were great, informative and patient where needed - we had Eve leading, assisted by Fan Fan. The couple of stops were well timed, and being bought drinks was a real added bonus. The position of the meeting and drop off point also enabled us to easily get a boat up the river for an afternoon of temples and palaces. So well placed, and a great first day in Bangkok.It was a great tour to explore some of the lesser known parts of Bangkok. Driving by bicycle is a very relaxing way to explore the city. Our guides were great, very professional and funny as well. Would recommend this tour to everyone!

Thank you for an amazing experience!A very easy, fun bike ride around streets, alleys, walkways you wouldn’t dream taking.

If you don't have too much time to spend in Bangkok, this ride is an excellent option (~ 10km ride). You will be able to know typical streets in Chinatown, local activities, the Flower Market, a beautiful temple with a golden Buddha and a giant bell - ring it 3 times and make a wish (that could be coming back to Bangkok again!) - in a very pleasant fun way . Bob and his partner (I can't remember her name) were very professional, supportive, all the time paying attention on the cyclists' safety. They provided local local snacks, fruits - really tasteful! - as well as bootles of water, juices, coconut water, soft drinks like coke, fanta etc. I would definetely recommend this bike tour!
