Start your half-day itinerary with hotel pickup in the morning or afternoon. You'll be transferred to a meeting point where a comfortable bike awaits. Once you're equipped with a helmet and proper bicycle fitting, set off on your group or private bike tour of Bangkok (depending on option selected at booking).
See the modern development in the Thai capital, ranging from townhouses to stand-alone apartment complexes. Then ride through narrow alleys to hidden communities, with a first stop in a designated poorer community, where residents thrive on local trading and working at one of the nearby factories. You'll receive a warm welcome and have the opportunity to visit a local home and the community kindergarten (closed on school and public holidays).
Stop for a refreshing drink before boarding a long-tail boat to cross the Chao Phraya River. On the other side, you'll cycle along elevated paved paths through lush vegetation sprinkled with stilt homes. Here, residents work on coconut palm and banana plantations.
Visit a Buddhist temple with your guide, followed by a small but typical lunch (Thai-style noodles or fried rice). Then return by ferry to the starting point. From the boat jetty to the tour office, you'll pass by an open-air Muay Thai training school and learn about the national sport whose origins dating back hundreds of years.
Your tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel.
