Overview

Four hours, river boat crossings, and a completely different Bangkok. This ride with Follow Me Bike Tours starts at Wat Khlong Toei Nok Pier, where a local river boat carries the group across to Bang Krachao, the green space reviewers describe as a quiet, natural escape from the city. From there the trip moves onto small paths and lanes, with time in Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park and Botanical Garden along the way.

The route is built around contrast rather than distance. Reviewers repeatedly describe stepping out of the busy city centre and into somewhere calm, well away from Bangkok traffic. One traveller called it a break from the noise, another mentioned many small paths and streets well away from busy Bangkok roads.

It suits reasonably confident cyclists, since previous cycling experience is necessary, and it works well for families, with child carriers and booster seats provided free for children within the stated height and weight limits. Groups are capped at eight travellers, and the guide leads in English. Snacks, soft drinks, water, boat crossings, entrance fees and insurance during the tour are all covered in the price.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape how this ride goes, from the heat to the pace of the group.

Cycling fitness. Previous cycling experience is necessary, though several reviewers described the riding as easy and pleasant. The operator describes the tour as suitable for most travellers. Expect a relaxed pace rather than a race.
Heat and weather. One reviewer found it hot and humid but said the breeze and views made up for it. Water and soft drinks are provided on the tour.
Small group feel. The tour runs with a maximum of eight travellers, which keeps the group manageable on narrow paths. That consistent praise for the guiding is one of the strongest themes in the reviews.
Photos handled. Your guide takes photos as you ride and sends the pictures over once the tour ends. That means riders can stay focused on the path.
Kids and seats. Child carriers and booster seats are provided free, with a stated maximum of 18 kg and 115 cm, and must be requested at booking. Children must be accompanied by an adult and need a minimum height of 120 cm to ride. Infant seats are available.
What is provided. The price covers the bike and helmet, the licensed English-speaking local guide, boat crossings, all entrance and activity fees, snacks and drinks, insurance during the tour and the photos. You will need to give your passport number for the insurance, so have it handy.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and participants must have no heart problems or other serious medical conditions. This experience needs a minimum number of travellers to run, so it can be cancelled if that minimum is not met, in which case a different date or a full refund is offered. One reviewer was saddened by water pollution visible along the way. Hotel pickup is not mentioned, so check the booking page and plan your own taxi to the pier.
