Itinerary
Meet at the Grasshopper Adventures Shop near Khao San Rd at 6pm. 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 canels to see the heart and soul of Bangkok.
Here's a taste of what you'll see and do. At around sunset you'll be on a local ferry crossing the Chao Phraya River, Thailand's biggest river. Once across the river we ride quiet back roads to Wat Arun, the Temple of the Dawn. At night Wat Arun is spectacularly lit and free of the throngs of tourists who flock here daily. After enjoying the quiet ambiance of the temple we ride along a river side track passing a Chinese temple, Christian church, and another Buddhist temple. Crossing back over the Choa Phraya, this time by bridge, we stop at the flower market which is at it's busiests at this time of night. Next stop is Wat Pho, another spectacularly lit temple. The highlight here are the four burial stupas of the first four kings of the Bangkok kingdom. Riding on past the Grand Palace we find ourselves in Sanam Luang which comes to life in the evening with an impromptu market. There's lots of junk and trickets for sale all laid out on simple mats - a true flee market. From here we finish back in the Khao San Road area which around this time is just starting to biuld up for another big night out for the backpackers who stop over here.
The tour usually takes 3-4 hours but this is variable by group.
