Bangkok Experiences Bike Tours-Backstreets and Hidden Gems
• Explore Hidden Bangkok Unlike typical tourist routes, this tour takes you deep into Thonburi’s quiet neighborhoods, canals, and back alleys — where real Bangkok life unfolds. • Local-Only Spots You’ll visit temples like Wat Khun Chan and Wat Nak Prok, ride through Talad Phlu market, and explore Wutthakat — places most travelers never find on their own. • Relaxed, Scenic, and Easy Ride Flat, car-free paths make it comfortable for all skill levels — this tour is about discovery, not speed. • Immersive, Not Rushed We keep the group small and the pace easy, so you have time to enjoy, ask questions, and connect with the places and people you meet. • Sustainable Urban Travel Zero-emission biking through green paths and low-impact stops — an eco-friendly way to explore the city.
This is not just a bike ride — it’s an authentic, slow-travel experience through the soul of Bangkok.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Talad Plu MarketPass-by Only
As you cycle through Bangkok’s hidden neighborhoods, we'll bike into Talad Phlu, a lively and culturally rich area known for its street food, Thai-Chinese heritage, and authentic community life. It’s a local favorite — not yet touched by mass tourism — and a real highlight of your journey. What You’ll See and Do: • Ride Through Historic Streets Cycle along narrow roads lined with colorful Sino-Thai shophouses, old tea shops, and faded facades that echo the past. It’s like riding through a living museum of Bangkok’s Chinese-Thai culture. • Experience Real Local Life This isn’t a curated market for tourists — it’s real life: locals shopping, elders chatting on stools, and families working in generations-old shops. Talad Phlu captures the heart of Bangkok — a flavorful blend of history, culture, and street life that you’ll experience up close from your bike seat.
Wat Khun Chan
During your Candbike journey through Bangkok’s hidden backstreets, one of the most striking and unexpected stops is Wat Khun Chan, a vibrant riverside temple in the Thonburi district. What You’ll See and Do: • Admire Giant Buddha Statues Be awed by the enormous seated Buddha towering above the temple grounds. These statues are not polished tourist sights — they’re raw, colorful, and deeply local in style, giving you a sense of authentic Thai spirituality. • Hear Cultural Context from Your Guide Your local guide will explain the temple’s role in the community, the symbolism of the statues, and how Wat Khun Chan reflects the character of old Thonburi — spiritual, artistic, and deeply rooted. • Photography Stop This is one of the most photogenic stops on the ride — vibrant colors, reflections on the water, and towering Buddhas make for truly memorable images.
Wat Nak ProkPass-by Only
As you explore the quiet neighborhoods of Thonburi by bike, we'll bike passed at the serene and lesser-known Wat Nak Prok — a beautiful temple that blends Thai and Chinese architecture, offering a calm and reflective moment during your urban adventure.
