All about the trip

Bangkok is definitely a jewel of Thailand, but there are still many hidden gems in this city waiting to be discovered. Let us take you by bike and boat to find these treasures scattered along the river and network of canals.

We meet near the Giant Swing at 13:00 to collect our bicycles and begin our cycling through back alleyways cycle by the red Giant Swing and a road lined with Buddhas of all shapes and sizes for sale. We cycle by Wat Ratchabopit, the official city temple during the reign of King Rama V, and the Flower Market before we arrive at the Chao Phraya River and hop on a ferry to cross to Thonburi, which for a brief period was the capital of Siam. We pedal through one of the first settlements in Bangkok as we cycle amongst temples, markets and old warehouses filled with scents of herbs and traded goods. Explore many of Thonburi's bejeweled and unique temples as we make our way to Klong Bang Luang, a two century-old wooden house that now is home to a community of artists. After our visit, we explore the canal by longtail boat to see more gems on the banks of this impressive canal network. Back on the bikes, it's a short 2 km cycle through the famous backpacker haven of Khao San Road to reach our end point at about 17:30.
