Pick up & drop off at all major Bangkok hotels
 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.
Trip Profile:
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 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 supplies a TREK mountain bike and helmet.
