 Our one day tour takes you out of Bangkok and back into the Thailand of old. The guests will be picked up from their hotels. The ride starts at the
Kamalulislam mosque, the hub of the local Muslim community. Riding along the canals, you will glimpse the harmonious lifestyles of Thai families, as well as seeing fish farms, working rice mills, traditional Thai wooden houses and a traditional medicine shop. We visit the bizarre temple of
Phurt Udom Pol where we have chance to visit Buddhist heaven and hell while waiting for lunch. We continue our cycling for another 10km to the old market town of
Nong Chock. We then trade bikes for boats and complete the journey with a river cruise down the Saen Seab canal back to the mosque.
This is a gentle 40-km ride along country
back roads and suitable for anyone that can ride a bike. We ride as a
group with experienced cycle guides setting a gentle pace and stop often
to visit points of interest and allow everyone to catch up. Our guides are
knowledgeable on the local area and customs and explain the history,
culture and local way-of-life each time we stop. Water, soft drinks and
snacks are all included as well as lunch and we supply a TREK mountain
bike and helmet.
This trip is suitable for
anyone and is an excellent trip for families.
