Sure, you can hit all the temples you want in one day. And you can visit the floating markets. But seeing the real Bangkok, the one that locals know and a lot of tourists don’t? For that you’ll have to hop on a bike. This 4-hour guided bike tour brings you down the backstreets and to street food venders serving up delicious snacks you’d never find on your own. This is a small group tour, which means more attention from the guide.
This bike tour with 15 Kilometers is all about exploring a very different side of Bangkok.
