Half-Day Cycling - Colors of Bangkok

Discover a side of Bangkok that most visitors never see on their own! This half-day cycling adventure takes you through the city's green lung, a peaceful area that feels miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet remains close by. You'll cycle through narrow streets and quiet backyards, exploring a Bangkok you never imagined.

We begin with a quick bicycle fitting, then start our journey from Rama III Road, where our office and lounge are located. After a brief ride, we’ll board a ferry to cross the Chao Phraya River. As you stand on the riverbanks, you'll be captivated by the sight of the Bhumibol Bridges I & II soaring 40 meters above.

On the other side of the river lies Bangkrachao, often referred to as “The Green Lung of Bangkok” or “Bangkok’s Green Jungle.” This 16 square kilometer area is the largest and greenest space near the city. Here, we’ll cycle on elevated pathways surrounded by lush vegetation, shaded by towering coconut palms and banana trees. You'll recognize familiar plants, but they’ll be much larger than you remember!

Our first stop is at Wat Bang Krasop, a 700-year-old, non-touristy Buddhist temple. The ancient architecture reflects the era's shorter doorways, so mind your head as you enter! If time permits, we might visit the nearby elementary school to greet the local children.

Next, we’ll pedal deeper into the jungle to a Muay Thai boxing gym, where you’ll learn about this national sport. If there’s a boxing enthusiast among us, they might even take a short lesson from the master (a small tip to the master is appreciated but not required).

The tour continues through a local market (if open) and the beautiful Srinakonkhenkan Park, with a stop at a shrine dedicated to Ganesh, the Hindu god. Here, your guide will explain how this deity has been embraced by Thai Buddhists.

We'll also take a break at a local restaurant to enjoy a typical Thai meal, such as “Pad Thai” or “Kao Pad” (fried noodles or fried rice) with your choice of shrimp, crab, pork, chicken, or vegetarian. Just let our guide know your preference.

After our meal, we’ll head back to the pier, take the ferry across the river, and return to the vibrant streets of Bangkok.

On the Colors of Bangkok cycling tour, you'll witness daily life for Bangkokians, exploring a side of the city far from the usual tourist spots. The route is mostly traffic-free, allowing you to fully enjoy the ride and the surroundings. The pace is relaxed, with plenty of stops for photos, sightseeing, and refreshments.

Note: Itinerary changes may occur, especially during weekends, school holidays, and national holidays when schools and local shops may be closed.
