A part where there is almost no traffic, just narrow streets and backyards. Bangkok as you have never imagined! After a quick bicycle fitting we start with our Bangkok bicycle adventure. During the first part of the tour we see stand alone villas, luxurious apartment buildings, town houses and in between shops, companies and small factories.

We make a first stop at one of the many hidden local communities in Bangkok. We might call it a slum, but the local people call it ‘home’. The people who live here belong to the poorest people in Bangkok, but they are very friendly, polite and generous and give us a warm welcome every day.
We continue our excursion in the ‘City of Angels’ and make a stop at a sweatshop before we arrive at the pier. Here we board a typical Thai longtail boat to cross the mighty Chao Phraya river.At the other side of the river we find ourselves back in the ‘Jungle’ or the ‘Green Lung’ of Bangkok, the greenest area in the city. We cycle on elevated pathways through lush vegetation and in the shade of coconut palms and banana trees, See an open-air Muay Thai school (kick boxing), non-touristy Buddhist temple, and a local elementary school. We set out a route which is traffic free for the majority, so you can fully enjoy the ride and the surroundings.

You don’t need to be a cycling fanatic to join the excursion. The pace is relaxed and we make enough stops for taking pictures, explanation of sights, something to drink and relax.

Halfway the tour we stop at a local restaurant and provide a small Thai meal, Pad Thai (Thai noodles) or Khao Pad (fried rice).

N.B. Visit of the above mentioned schools will be skipped if closed.
