“We had an absolutely fantastic day with Mr Tee doing his kayak, boat, and cycling experience. From start to finish, communication was excellent and he made everything feel easy and relaxed. As a local, he shared great insight and took us to some amazing spots with beautiful views that we wouldn’t have found on our own. He provided good quality snacks throughout the day as well as plenty of water, which was a really nice touch and very much appreciated. Mr Tee also kindly offered to take photos of us during the experience - which we happily agreed to and he will be sending us them over shortly :) Overall,…”
Spend five hours cycling beyond Bangkok’s main sights with a guide such as Eddy or Michael. Visit a huge fresh market, sample tropical fruit, cross the Chao Phraya twice by longtail boat, ride through Bang Krachao’s plantations, and eat a homemade local lunch.
“Het was een geweldige dag: fietsen prima geregeld, je ziet een heel ander stuk van Bangkok, de lunch was heerlijk en bijzondere dieren gezien. Onze gids Eddy was top dus voor ons was het een fantastische belevenis!!”
Ride about 15 kilometers through Thonburi’s lanes with an English-speaking guide such as Tom, Max, or Woody. Visit Santa Cruz, three historic temples, Khlong Bang Luang, a canal-side eatery, and a 200-year-old puppet house, then return by boat past the Grand Palace.
“We had a very good experience and we recommend this tour 100%. Tom was very friendly and helpful. He took us to places we would have never visit alone and we had the chance to get to know more about how people live. Our daughter who is 9 years old, also enjoyed it!”
Spend four hours exploring Thonburi by bicycle and longtail boat with an English-speaking guide such as Guitar. Ride 10 to 12 kilometers through quiet lanes, temples, farms, and canal communities, then stop for Thai food. Morning and afternoon departures offer slightly different local scenes.
“Excellent tour! Really interesting to see the real Bangkok and meet locals. Ended with a beautiful little restaurant on the river run by two old women. A treat”
Pick a kind of day, or a city with a lane on every street.
