Two Experiences in One:
Discover Bangkok by both land and water. Cycle through hidden neighborhoods, colorful markets, and local temples before cruising along quiet canals on a private longtail boat — a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
• Explore Hidden Bangkok (Not Tourist Bangkok):
Ride through charming backstreets that most tourists never see. Visit authentic local areas such as Wat Khun Chan, Wat Nakprok, and quiet neighborhoods untouched by mass tourism.
• Up Close with Canal Life:
Glide past wooden stilt houses, waving locals, floating temples, riverside shrines, and everyday life that still thrives along the canals of Thonburi.
• Intimate Small Group Experience:
This is not a tourist bus. With a maximum of 8 guests per tour, you’ll feel like you’re exploring Bangkok with a friend — personal, relaxed, and authentic.

What To Expect
Talad Plu Market
As part of your Candbike bike and boat journey, you’ll ride through Talad Phlu, one of Bangkok’s most authentic and flavorful neighborhoods. Known for its rich Chinese-Thai heritage and legendary street food, this area offers a vibrant window into everyday local life. What You’ll See and Do: • Cycle Through a Historic District: Pedal past rows of shophouses, local shrines, and colorful street murals in one of Bangkok’s oldest neighborhoods. • Experience the Local Rhythm: Watch vendors prepping dumplings, locals sipping tea, and monks collecting alms — a real slice of Bangkok life without the tourist crowds. • Learn the Cultural Roots: Your guide will share stories about Talad Phlu’s Chinese-Thai roots, why the area thrived near the canals, and how it remains a proud local community. Talad Phlu is not just a pass-through — it’s a living, breathing neighborhood that lets you experience Bangkok’s history and flavor from the saddle of your bike.
Wat Khun Chan
Stop Highlight: Wat Khun Chan At Wat Khun Chan, travelers will step into one of Bangkok’s most visually striking and lesser-known temple complexes. Located along the quiet canals of Thonburi, this temple is a vivid contrast to the polished tourist spots—it’s raw, local, and full of character. What You’ll See & Do: • Admire the towering seated Buddha statue, surrounded by colorful figures from Thai mythology, including giants and celestial beings • Learn from your guide about the symbolism behind the temple’s statues, and its role in the local community. • Capture unforgettable photos with a backdrop of ornate sculptures, golden stupas, and vibrant wall art. • See how religion blends with everyday life in Bangkok, as monks and locals go about their day in a working temple. This stop gives travelers an authentic taste of spiritual Bangkok—unpolished, meaningful, and full of local charm.

5.00Excellent choice to get to know a typical Bangkok neighborhood with local people. We appreciate cycling to feel some air. Both the boat and bike tour have delighted my partner and me. Guitar explained everything very well and is very friendly.
The tour is great...

5.00The tour is super interesting because you see places and corners that are probably not otherwise on the itinerary. We booked another tour with this organizer last year. Our guide was nice, attentive and provided us with many photos. Bicycles are in good condition. Along the way, various snacks, drinks and lunches were included. On the canal trip we were away from the main canals and had them almost to ourselves.
The back streets of Bangkok

5.00This is an immersive, cultural experience like no other. Our guide, Guitar, was very knowledgeable and friendly. She lead us through the lesser known parts of Bangkok with rich history and character. We spent time on the canals where the old town was first established. We were then taken to a quiet, hidden gem for lunch and refreshments. An awesome experience and a definite must to add to your Bangkok activities list
Great day seeing another side to Bangkok

5.00Had a wonderful day with our friendly and knowledgeable guide Guitar. It was just our family who had booked, so it was extra luxurious to have a guide just for the four of us. Cycled through little backstreets, stopped at temples and for a delicious and abundant lunch, and the boat trip was also really fun as we got to see a different side to the city, going out past floating houses and away from the tourists to a banana plantation. Also spotted lots of big monitor lizards. People were overwhelmingly friendly. Nice bikes to ride too. We booked directly via the website.
We recommend!

5.00Prayut is a great guy and a great guide. By far the best bike experience I've had in Bangkok so far. I really liked the route we took that allowed us to see many different faces of Bangkok.
One of the best experiences in Bangkok

5.00An excellent tour around the back streets of Bangkok. Had various stops off at points of interest and markets and had an introduction into local cuisine. The best thing we did while Bangkok and guide was great. The bikes are new and felt safe along the whole journey using 98% of local alleys. A great afternoon seeing the “real” Bangkok
Great bike and boat trip!
