(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Bangkok
Your bike for the evening waits for your arrival at the central meeting point, just outside the old part of Bangkok. As transfers from your accommodation to this meeting point are not included in this package, we advise you to get to this point in time to arrive before 17:30 hrs at our bicycle starting point. A team of mechanics are standing by, alongside your English-speaking guide ensure that you will get the bike adjusted to your personal needs in time before heading out in the unknown side of Thailand’s capital. With instructions on safety and not losing your biking guide, off we go into the back alleys of Bangkok. Our well-inspected trail moves safely into the night as you pass by local homes, alleys filled with local delicacies and children making their final playing round before heading to bed. Alongside pedalling along one of the city’s oldest parts, small community temples tend to brighten up around every corner you go: the natural light of the departing sun makes way for a vast array of lights, turning these religious sites in an almost fairy tale landscape. Cycling in the evening also brings out shop owners and markets with a cornucopia of delicious snacks and refreshing drinks which serve as a perfect break during this 4-hour bike ride. Especially a stop at a flower market will be one of the highlights of this tour. Via an ingenious route, we end our evening bike ride back where we started and thank our guide for his excellence in navigating through the back alleys of unknown Bangkok. Time to head back to your accommodation or perhaps wander through this little-visited part of Bangkok for a night cap and sharing your experiences with your travel companion(s).
