	Bangkok by Bike, 1 Day			from
				$43*
	When people think of Bangkok often it conjures up images of traffic jams that last from sunrise to sunset and the thought on riding a bike is the last thing people would contemplate. This half day adventure provides us with an interesting insight into an area of Bangkok that few people know about. The biking tour explores the heart and soul of Bangkok - Bangkok Noi. Just across Chao Praya River to the Thonburi side of Bangkok, this area has its own unique style of waterways and small roads. The historical records point to the old Bangkok Noi community being established since King Chai Raja of Ayutthaya Period (AD 1532 - 1546). Bangkok Noi Canal which was once a part of the majestic Chao Phraya River flows in a horseshoe shape through the old Bangkok Noi community. We start our Bangkok tour near Khao San Road in Banglamphu. After a quick bike fitting and briefing we head out. We wind our way through the back streets of Suburban Bangkok and small lane ways along the riverside. We cross the famous Rama VIII Bridge then ride through a local community who are well known for their addictive mixture of betel nut, lime and a mulberry leaf. Passing the King's Royal Barges we follow a well worn path along The Bangkok Noi Canal which eventually leads us to the spectacular Wat Arun. Wat Arun is well known for its intricate architectural design and also has historical significance. This area is also well known for a basket of multicultural religions which are home to Buddhist temples, Mosques and Portuguese built Churches. From Wat Arun, we head back across the Chao Praya River to Pranakorn via the Memorial Bridge. This bridge was built in 1929 to mark city of Bangkok's 150th anniversary. We then pay a visit to another temple called Wat Suthat which is home to the largest sitting Buddha image in Thailand. Our final stop on this ultimate Bangkok bike tour is opposite Wat Shuthat to see the giant swing Sao Ching Cha which represents the movement of the God Shiva which was reserved for performances at grand ceremonies. From there we head back to our start point destination to complete the journey. The day tour of Bangkok is a very gentle 20 km along the backstreets and canals of Bangkok and suitable for anyone who can ride a bike. Our English speaking guides will provide an insight into the local areas customs, history, culture and local way-of-life each time we stop. High quality mountain bikes are used on this trip and helmets are included. At the end of your Bangkok tour you are free to continue exploring the area or your guide will assist you in getting a taxi back to your hotel. Explore this magnificent city by bike.
