half days in Bangkok - trip code GHTB07
US$35
Historic Bangkok shows the true heart of this bustling city. Cycle the back roads and small laneways to discover that there is more to this city than big roads full of traffic alongside highrise buildings.
Riding the quiet 'soi' and lanes you will discover ancient temples and life by the Chao Phraya River and in the tiny lanes that make up much of the city. Many people ask us how we found our way through the labyrinth of streets that we take you on - the answer is simple: we ride every little laneway we can find. It has literary taken years to develop this tour. No-one knows historic Bangkok like us!
Itinerary
Meet at the Grasshopper Adventures Shop near Khao San Rd at 9am. After a quick bike fitting and briefing we head out. Staying off the roads we wind our way through small lane ways, past ancient temples and canals to see the heart and soul of Bangkok.
There are no particularly famous sights that you will see on this tour (our alternative name for the ride is "not famous Bangkok"). It is all about seeing the city away from the tourists and big roads, to see the real Bangkok where people live work, and play.
The tour usually takes 3-4 hours but this is variable by group.
Our Bike Historic Bangkok tour features on US travel program "New Ways To Play". Take a look to see a little of what this tour is about.

It is worth printing the map below to show a taxi driver if you choose to come by taxi.
