Embark on an extraordinary journey with the ‘Go Blue’ – Bangkok’s Bike and Longtail Boat combo Tour, a truly unforgettable experience. Begin your adventure by pedaling through the enchanting and historically significant Bang Rak, a village that holds a special place in the hearts of our cyclists. This captivating neighborhood, known as the “Village of Love,” is steeped in culture and heritage. Our first destination is the Old Customs House, where merchants from around the globe would once gather to pay taxes on their valuable goods. As we continue our e-cycling expedition, we traverse through a vibrant Bangkok Muslim community, home to the city’s first Mosque. Prepare yourself for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that awaits.
Our journey will take us in a northerly direction, venturing into the intricate network of narrow streets that constitute the southern region of Bang Rak in Bangkok. Exploring this area will provide you with a one-of-a-kind perspective on the traditional way of life and occupation of Thailand’s inhabitants throughout the centuries. Along the way, we will make a quick visit to notable landmarks such as Bangkok’s inaugural international telephone line Post-Office, the renowned “Ancient” Warehouse 30, and the historic House #1.
Not to long from now, we will board a ferry that transports us and the bicycles across the majestic Chao Phraya river, leading us to the captivating Thonburi district. Thonburi, once the esteemed capital of Thailand, offers a wealth of cultural treasures awaiting our exploration.
Afterward, we will make a stop at the Portuguese community for some refreshments and to leisurely explore the surroundings. Continuing along the river, you will be treated to breathtaking views while observing the passing boats. Our next destinations on the itinerary are Wat Prayoon and Wat Kalayanamitr. (if time premits)
After exploring several historic temple grounds in old Siam, we’ll now head to Bangkok’s tallest Buddha statue at the enchanting Wat Paknam. The final leg of our bike tour will take us to a nearby Thai artist’s house, where we can see and almost feel the life that existed here over 200 years ago in this incredible teak wood structure. The lunch or dinner stop may vary.
After an enjoyable lunch or dinner, we’ll board a long-tail boat to begin a 7-9 km journey through the ancient canals to the mighty Chao Phraya River. Accompanied by our bikes, we’ll cruise back to our starting point, offering you a chance to see the “Venice of the East” up close from the comfort of your boat seat. Be sure to have your cameras ready – this scenic ride is sure to delight.
After you’ve taken in all the culture overload we disembark and take a short trip back to the HQ to unwind and discuss the day’s journey with your tour group, and plenty of drinks, or maybe even purchase a refreshing beer or two.
With a maximum of 8 people per group and a relaxed style, you’ll always have time to ask the guides questions about the things you see. The route is quite easy and suitable to people of all ages with plenty refreshment stops.
