Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Grasshopper Adventures - Bangkok Bike Tours, 57 Ratchadamnoen Klang Rd Phranakorn, Bangkok 10200 Thailand
Gather at the Grasshopper Shop
Meet at the Grasshopper Adventures Shop near Khao San Rd at 5:30 pm. The night tour will depart at 6 pm sharp, so make sure you allow plenty of time to get here, accounting for peak hour traffic. After a quick bike fitting and briefing it's time to head out, staying off the main roads we'll pedal our way through small laneways, past ancient temples and canals to see the heart and soul of Bangkok.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun), 34 Wang Doem Road Wat Arun, Bang Kok Yai, Bangkok 10600 Thailand
Cycle and ferry to Wat Arun
After passing through Thammasat University we cross the Chao Phraya River by ferry. Crossing the river around sunset can be quite lovely. Once across we cycle quiet back roads to Wat Arun, the Temple of the Dawn. At night, Wat Arun is spectacularly illuminated and free of the throngs of day tourists so you can enjoy the serene ambience of the temple.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market), Jakkrapet Road, Bangkok 10200 Thailand
Our next unforgettable stop is the world-famous Bangkok flower market. The largest wholesale flower market in Thailand.
Crossing the Chao Phraya bridge, we stop at the flower market which is at its busiest this time of night and the market is a riot of colour and activity. On the walk through your guide will treat you to some of Thailand’s famous street food.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho), 2 Sanamchai Road. Prabarom Maharajawang, Pranakorn, Bangkok 10200 Thailand
Next on the route is Wat Pho, the renowned Temple of the Reclining Buddha. While the reclining Buddha is not visible to visitors in the evening the temple grounds are truly magical, with beautifully illuminated chedi spires covered in porcelain mosaics. Explore the peaceful temple grounds in the cool evening air - a vastly different scene from the noisy crowds found here during the day, it is almost like having a privileged private tour.
Duration: 15 minutes
Pass By: Grasshopper Adventures - Bangkok Bike Tours, 57 Ratchadamnoen Klang Rd, Khwaeng Wat Bowon Niwet, Khet Phra Nakhon, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10200, Thailand
Return to the Grasshopper Shop
Biking on past the Grand Palace we find ourselves in Sanam Luang from which we can see the sparkling chedis of the palace. Cycling again through the back streets of Bangkok’s historic old city we'll finish the evening’s bike tour back at our shop in the Khao San Road area.

Guide was very insightful and made sure our safety was the utmost concern. Approximately 8 people in the group
I had recently finished a trip with Exodus cycling across Vietnam Saigon to Hanoi and wasn't quite ready to hang up my cycling helmet, so thought that a night bike tour of Bangkok would be a good idea. Golf, our guide didn't seem to have the etiquette that a lead cyclist should have, pointing out pot-holes, curbs and general hand signals. Apart from that, I enjoyed the trip, there was something quite surreal being amongst the Temples and Pagodas in the darkness and hearing the Monks chanting and prayer. The Temples and Pagodas are really quiet so it was lovely to be around such amazing architecture without the crowds. Golf took us for some street food, sadly for me, I just couldn't face it, just because they put an animal on a stick doesn't make it look any more appealing.
Andy is the man! I spaced and came to the tour on the wrong day. I guess all my devices still displayed American time or I booked too many tours. I came a day late and wasn't on the list, they said no problem with a smile. He spoke good English, very friendly, good explanation of the history of the sites. The cycling is fun small group single file, helmet gear provided. Bikes were comfortable with front suspension. A lot of tight alleyways and hidden areas contrasting with open city roads and crossing the river on ferry was fun too. To my surprise a lot of stops for street food no complaints! and refreshments. There's nothing like going for a bike ride to forget your worries and feel like a kid again. Also, the city is a lot more beautiful at night. They also have longer rides for more serious cyclists.
