What To Expect

Chinatown - Bangkok

Starting in the heart of Chinatown, our bike ride explores its frenetic market environment. Winding through narrow alleyways, our senses come alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of a community in motion. We’ll pass by shophouses selling everything from Buddhist amulets to recycled truck engines. Locals worshiping at hidden temples, ritual paper burnings, and the omnipresent spirit house display evidence of a culture centuries in the making.

Admission Not Applicable

Crossing the Chao Phraya River to Thailand's former capital, Thonburi. We cross either by cycling over the bridge, or take a local ferry.

100% recommend this trip. The staff are super friendly, very well organised, bikes were really comfortable and well maintained. Strolling though the hidden back streets of Bangkok was just so enjoyable. Will definitely use this company again to book more trips.
Just do it.

This was such a good find and so much fun. The team and ride leaders were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. A few surprises along the way really added to the experience. Would definitely do another tour when we're back in Thailand.

Today I did the bike ride of Co van Kessel. You will get to places you normally don't see during the trip. The guides were super nice and told quite a lot about Bangkok
An Enjoyable Time

To 6 years ago, drafts have deteriorated considerably. Standing still more than cycling. Main attraction: china town and chinese temple. Are you in Bangkok? Ghost of Co is far away. Far too commercial, irrelevant info. Money not worth
This is a must do in Bangkok. I’ve never had an experience where you ride your bike through markets, streets & on ferry!

Call mom up and down ramps, have a fairy, down alleys, right through markets, absolutely everywhere. This is a must do. The tour operators were perfect and kept everyone safe. We stopped at the end for free pop, water and snacks. They purchased for us in a market.
You're going places you would never normally go.
