You will be picked up at either 08:30 or 13:30. Take a short boat trip across the Chao Phraya River to Bang Kra Jao, an area nicknamed the ‘Bangkok Jungle’. Although located not far from the city’s bustling business district, sleepy Bang Kra Jao feels worlds away and is the perfect place for a bike ride.
Set off on two-wheels and ride through the network of roads that criss-cross Bang Kra Jao. The tour starts from Rama three road, a bustling busy street but before long you will be immersed in the tranquil atmosphere that is Bang Kra Jao. Tropical plants and lush trees surround the roads, creating an urban jungle in the city centre. Cross over canals and admire the mangrove forests that line the waterways. See traditional Thai houses and golden temples rarely visited by tourists. Stop to chit chat with friendly locals and to visit markets selling an array of fresh produce.
During the two-hour ride, refuel with snacks at one of the many street stalls. Enjoy the delicious Thai dishes while learning about local life in this traditional community. If it is Saturday or Sunday, a stop will be made at Bang Nam Phueng, a large weekend market that is popular with the local residents.
After catching a breath of fresh air in the Bangkok Jungle, return to the city centre and onwards to the hotel.
