Overview

This four-hour evening ride with Follow Me Bike Tours starts at 17:00 from the operator's base on Naret Road in Bang Rak and follows a set route past street art, temples and markets, ending where it began. Cyclists roll through the Talad Noi wall art streets, cross the Chao Phraya by local ferry, and stop at Wat Prayurawongsawat Worawihan before pedalling on to Saphan Phut, the Memorial Bridge. From there the route heads to the flower market at Pak Khlong Talat and passes the Grand Palace before finishing with an hour inside Chinatown, where a street-side dinner is served.

The group is capped at eight travellers, led by a licensed English-speaking local guide. Bicycles, helmets, reflective belts and lights are provided, along with soft drinks, water and Thai snacks during the ride. Guides take photographs during the tour and send them to participants afterwards, so there is no need to wrestle a phone out at every stop.

It suits confident cyclists, since previous cycling experience is required, and it works well for families: child seats and carriers are available for young children, and children's bicycles fit riders from 120cm. Entry and activity fees, ferry fare, dinner and tour insurance are all covered in the price. The tour is not wheelchair accessible.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and it needs a minimum number of travellers to run; if that minimum is not met, participants are offered a different date or a full refund. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the 17:00 start are not refunded. Previous cycling experience is a firm requirement, so total beginners should not book. Hotel pickup is not mentioned, so anyone expecting transport from their accommodation should check the booking page first; one reviewer did mention being dropped back at their hotel, but that is not a guarantee.
