Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Krung Thon Buri, Khlong Ton Sai, Khlong San, Bangkok 10600, Thailand
You will be picked up from your hotel in downtown Bangkok (conditions apply) before 9 AM 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. Low-key Thonburi offers different experiences where vendors sell noodles from old wooden paddle-boats that cruise the area’s elaborate web of canals and locals ride bicycles through leafy alleyways containing old wooden homes.
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.
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 4 PM.
