This fascinating (3 hour) ‘Go Purple’ Guided Bangkok bicycle Tour starts of with a journey through a wonderfully rich Muslim community on to the Old Customs House, right on the river. This was the first stop for ancient travellers entering Bangkok and the perfect place to start your journey!
From there you’ll weave through the maze of woven streets with stops at the Holey Rosary Church, Thailand’s first Bank and continue our journey through alleys that make up Bangkok’s vibrant and bustling Talad Noi District.
Following your well-informed guide through the diverse cultures that make up this lively part of the city, you’ll discover all it has to offer. After taking in the culture from Chinatown, it’s time to move on towards the flower market along the river to get some cool air and absorb the sights from the Chao Phraya River.
After you’ve taken in all the culture it’s a short trip back to the Go Tours HQ. Well here comes the best part! We wont be biking any further. We will embark on the Majestic Catamaran Boat to now see the shores from a whole different angle. Whether on the 1st floor shaded or on the 2nd floor roof to let your hair out.
After you’ve taken in all the culture we dis-embark for a short trip back to the Go Tours HQ to unwind and discuss the day’s cycle journey with your tour group, and enjoy a soft drinks or water, 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.
Although a little more demanding than The Go Pink Guided Tour, this tour is suited to people of most ages. The ride is very pleasant and there is a general laid back feel to everything, with plenty of refreshment stops.
