Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Chinatown – Bangkok, Yaowarat Road Samphanthawong, Samphanthawong, Bangkok 10100 Thailand
Your driver will wait for you at your hotel lobby in the morning in the early morning and transfer you to the starting point where your bicycles will be checked and measured in accordance to your height.
From here, we head into Chinatown on our bikes. Here, alleys disappear into forgotten temples, exotic markets spill onto the streets, and striking architecture spirals skyward. This tour exhibits Bangkok’s authentic dichotomy where, within mere street blocks, the lively bustle of Chinatown melts into the soothing embrace of country back roads.
This two-wheeled adventure allows guests to cover a lot of ground and gain a fascinating insight into the ‘Bangkok of Old’.
