Bangkok Bike Small Group Adventure Tour
Your gentle 20 km (12.5 miles) morning bike ride travels through Bangkok Noi, the heart and soul of Bangkok. Across the Chao Praya River to the Thonburi side of Bangkok, this area has its own unique style of waterways and small roads. The old Bangkok Noi community has been established since King Chai Raja of Ayutthaya Period (AD 1532 - 1546). Bangkok Noi Canal which was once a part of the majestic Chao Phraya River flows in a horseshoe shape through the old Bangkok Noi community.
Wind your way through the back streets of Suburban Bangkok and small laneways along the riverside. You'll cross the famous Rama VIII Bridge then ride through a local community who are well known for producing 'Maak', an addictive mixture of betel nut, lime and mulberry leaf.
You'll pass the King's Royal Barges and ride along The Bangkok Noi Canal which eventually leads you to the spectacular Wat Arun, one of Bangkok's iconic landmarks. From Wat Arun you'll head back across the Chao Praya River to Pranakorn via the Memorial Bridge. This bridge was built in 1929 to mark the city of Bangkok's 150th anniversary.
You'll visit Wat Suthat temple, which is home to a 25-foot tall Buddha. Your final stop is opposite Wat Suthat to see the red frame giant swing which represents the movement of the God Shiva which was reserved for performances at grand ceremonies.
Your guide can assist you in getting a taxi back to your hotel if needed.

We had a lovely time on this tour. With only 4 people plus the guide it was great to not have to share the guide with to many people. The small alley ways that we went down within the local housing was fascinating and all the people were so friendly when we went past. The different aspects of Bangkok we covered was extensive and the scenery/views were fabulous. Highly recommended to not only tourists but expats as well.

Sehr empfehlenswert - netter, gebildeter Reiseleiter - Mr. Kong. Man sieht verborgene Ecken von Bangkok, etwas abseits vom Massentourismus. Schade dass auf Viator nicht mehr Touren von diesem Anbieter angeboten werden. Er bietet noch andere Touren an, die auch interessant klingen. Bangkok by bike - mal etwas anderes!
