Overview
This tour is a bicycle adventure of about 4.5 hours through the heart of Bangkok business districts. We will pass over local temples, the Talad Khlong Toei market, and visit the Benjakitti Forest Park and Lumpini Park. We will also see some huge monitor lizards. We aim to avoid most of the roads with heavy traffic; however, a part of the route will be on main roads with traffic. The total riding distance is about 23 km.
What you will be doing
This tour starts at our office on Rama III Road where you can choose a suitable bicycle. Once on the way we will stop at a typical local temple, ride along the train graveyard, through slum areas and visit the biggest daily fresh market -Talad Klongtoey. Here we park our bicycles and have a stroll on the market
After the market, we will cross the always-traffic-congested Rama IV Road that brings us to Queen Sirikit Convention Centre and the tranquil Benjakitti Park. Benjakitty Park is a small, but very nicely designed park, we will have a break and rest a little while enjoying the views
We will continue our Bangkok City Culture ride along the Tobacco Monopoly. This is the place where cigarettes are made. Sometimes, you can smell the scent of tobacco leaves when cycling in the area. A little further along, we will pass one of the most expensive streets of Bangkok - Thanon Witthayu - where many embassies are located. It also has an entrance to the famous Central Park of Bangkok - Lumpini Park
Besides taking a break in this beautiful park, we can see locals doing Tai Chi or Yoga and other outdoor activities. If we are lucky, we might meet the famous permanent residents of Lumpini Park, the huge monitor lizards! Although they look scary, they're harmless.; After the break, we continue our Bangkok City Culture ride through small communities and finish at our office
