Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1: Bangkok, Thailand
Location: Bangkok
Airport transfer
Welcome to Bangkok! Private airport transfer awaits you upon existing the airport. We will take you to your accommodation, and the rest of the day is free for you to get to know your surroundings.
Day 2: Bangkok, Thailand
Location: Bangkok
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.
The first part of our journey is on Rama III Road, where our office/lounge is located. But only for a few minutes because the ferryboat to cross the river isn’t far away. While standing on the riverbanks of the Chao Praya River you will be impressed by the many loops that are running in and out the Bhumibol Bridges I & II at 40 meters height.
Once at the other side of the river we find ourselves in Bangkrachao sub-district. Bangkokians also call this area “The Green Lung of Bangkok” or “Bangkok’s Green Jungle”. It’s the biggest & greenest area near the city. (Bangkrachao is about 16 KM2) Here we cycle on elevated pathways through lush vegetation and in the shade of coconut palms and banana trees. Recognize any plants from home? They are sure a whole lot bigger, aren’t they? green lung or in the ‘Jungle’ of Bangkok, the greenest area near the city.We cycle on elevated pathways through lush vegetation and in the shade of coconut palms and banana trees. Recognize any plants from home? They sure are a whole lot bigger, aren’t they?
The first stop in Bangkrachao is a local, non-touristy Buddhist temple (Wat Bang Krasop) with a history dating 700 years back. Mind your head when stepping inside the old temple. Doors/entrances, especially the very old ones, didn’t expect visitors that tall. If time and the principal allow us, we will pay a short visit to the elementary school next to the temple to say hello to the children.
We continue the bicycle ride deeper into the jungle until we reach a Muay Thai boxing gym. Here we’ll show/tell you about this national sport and perhaps we’ve a boxing enthousiast among us that is keen taking a short lesson from the master. (a tip to the master of 2 Euro/US$ is not mandatory but common and very much appreciated)
We continue our ride crossing a market (when open), the beautiful Srinakonkhenkan park and make another stop at Ganesh, a Hindu god, where the guide will tell how this is adapted by the Thai Buddhists.
During the ride we will also make a stop at a local restaurant to offer you a typical Thai meal like “Pad Thai” or “Kao Pad” (Fried noodles or fried rice) which can be with shrimps, crab, pork, chicken or vegetarian. Tell our guide your preference.
After our meal, time has come to return to the pier where we take the ferry back to the hustle and bustle of Bangkok again.
