Full Day Bangkok Way of Life by Bicycle

Opposite the Chao Phraya River, from the side that is officially known as Bangkok, lies Thonburi: famed for its extensive klongs (canals) that moves like an aorta from deep within the traditional side of this expansive capital and guides customers through a deeply-cherished, authentic way of life. Once the place where the kings of ancient Siam ruled their country, Thonburi has often been left aside when one has a deep interest in getting a glimpse of what Bangkok is on the other side of the river. No better means to take advantage of this opportunity than using bicycles for a full day seeing the other, local side of the capital city where life seems to move ahead in a slightly different tempo.

You will be picked up from your hotel in downtown Bangkok (conditions apply) before 09:00 hrs for a comfortable transfer to the meeting point. It is here, where you will meet your pedalling guides for the day, ready to show you some of the fabulous features of the ethnicity that still resides in this metropole. Once you are fitted to comfortably cycle around and absorbed the safety issues from your English-speaking cycling ‘ambassador’, it is Thonburi all the way. An ingenious route brings you along, through and passing local sights, temples and markets of what was once officially named ‘Krung Thonburi Sri Maha Samut’. This tour offers so many new sights into how Bangkok still can be and bears resemblance of a less-hurried life style. You will immediately notice the advantages to use bikes on this excursion as quite a number of districts cannot be reached by car and of course, there will be more than ample opportunities to capture some of your own experiences through the lens.

During this day, we include local Thai food and snack en route at a hand-picked and tried-out restaurant to satisfy your inner self after a couple of hours’ biking as well as enjoy a break at a local family’s house and learn how to cook traditional Thai dishes. As we do not want to reveal too much of what we will pass, you will be surprised that you will cover close to 20 kilometres during this day before reaching the meeting point again. Once you have taken a breather before your driver brings you back to your centrally-located Bangkok hotel, you now can grasp why we have aptly called this tour Bangkok’s Way of Life. Expect to be back at your hotel around 16:00 hrs.
