Culture Ride, 3 Hours 30 Minutes

Overview

This three and a half hour ride from ThailandBiking.com starts at 08:00 on Rama III Road, next to S.V. City Tower, and covers a varied stretch of Bangkok by bike. A local guide leads the group through Lumpini Park, past the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, and into the Khlong Toei Market area. Stops at Benjakitti Park and Wat Chong Lom round out the route before everyone rolls back to the starting point.

The operator states that most travellers can participate. Every admission on the route is free, and the bike and helmet come with the tour, so there is little to organise beyond turning up on time. Water and a snack are handed out along the way.

Groups are capped at nine travellers. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not part of the package, so plan your own way to the meeting point. Gratuities for the guide are not included either. Wheelchair users cannot be accommodated on this tour, though the meeting point sits close to public transport.
