About this activity

Starting in the heart of Chinatown, the bike-ride explores its frenetic market environment. Winding through narrow alleyways, your senses come alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of a community in motion. You’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.

Crossing the Chao Phraya River with majestic views of the city skyline behind us, you visit Thonburi, the historic third capital of Thailand. Contrasting chaotic Chinatown, peaceful elements of local Thai life abound as the tour goes through diverse residential communities. Inquisitive smiles and friendly greetings reinforce the feeling the tour has truly left the “beaten path” and are now experiencing the real Bangkok.

I loved this bike tour. The guides were friendly and funny, the weather was perfect, and the route was enjoyable. We stopped along the way to see many local sites, including Chinatown, temples, and some local shops. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a great way to spend a morning in Bangkok. I traveled alone, and this tour was a great way to see the city and meet some new people.

This tour was awesome. You definitely need to be comfortable on a bike to really enjoy it. If you're someone who likes to bike this is the tour for you. The local markets and back neighborhoods are very cool. It is a lot of fun biking on the streets and the tour guides do a great job of sticking with you and explaining. It is a less touristy tour which I preferred. Ms Ploy, on our of the guides on our tour, was extremely helpful, patient and kind. Would definitely do this tour again and will recommend to anyone going to Bangkok, who wants a tour of the less touristy sites and more of how Bangkok really lives.

The bike ride was an unforgettable way to see Bangkok and our tour guides were knowledgeable and attentive. They were superb with our younger children, ages 7 and 10. We cycled about 10k in total trough the winding backstreets, visited the flower market and a wonderful temple with a sitting Buddha.

Excellent tour with extremely helpful guides. This is a tour to see the real life of Bangkok - food markets, pray in a small temple with the locals, learn to peel and eat the Thai fruit. See how the the different ethnic groups live and work together. The initial riding stage does require a degree of cycling expertise to navigate the narrow passageways so be warned that walking your bike may be the best way to proceed at first. The ride does get easier.
