Wat Chalo - Beyond the city
Once on the outskirts of Bangkok, there are few cars, but many locals are delighted to see foreign visitors cycling in their neighborhood. Lunch is provided at a delightful local restaurant where participants can enjoy world-renowned Thai cuisine. The terrain is diverse, transitioning from canal-side communities to market gardens, wooded areas, and ancient temple ruins, all within view of Bangkok’s skyscrapers yet far from the city’s hustle. Stops will be made at several historically significant temples: Wat Chaloh and Wat Kaew Fah. The tour also passes through areas with some agriculture, mainly plant nurseries and orchards. While the tour doesn’t quite reach the countryside, some sections have a rural feel. - Khaosan Road - Returning to Bangkok, the route winds back through the alleyways, concluding at the Grasshopper Shop.
The ride covers a total of 37 km and the tour lasts approximately 7 hours, typically ending around 4 pm, though this may vary depending on the group and their abilities.
Participants will spend most of the day cycling, and while the total distance isn’t extensive, the heat can be intense. The cycling is moderately technical, with sections along narrow raised concrete paths, making this tour suitable for more experienced cyclists. The route includes concrete, dirt bike trails, and a few rough patches, but primarily follows backstreets and alleyways. Some main roads need to be crossed, but this is done as a group, and Bangkok drivers are very courteous when it comes to road crossings.
The tropical sun can be quite intense, so it’s recommended to use sunblock or, for a natural alternative, wear long sleeves and Buff headwear for neck protection.
Older children and teenagers can participate in this tour if they are experienced cyclists and can spend the entire day on a bicycle. This tour is not recommended for young children.

On this day cycling tour, pedal quiet trails around Bangkok, where life is slower and the landscape greener. Cycle through wooded areas, along tree-lined canals and visit ancient temples overgrown with twisting roots and vines. Cycling on narrow paths and winding trails makes this our most technical bicycle day tour, but still only moderately so. See a new side of Bangkok as you seemingly pedal back in time to its outskirts.
After escaping the congestion of the city, we cycle our way out through the suburbs and are soon riding in the periphery of Bangkok, where tall buildings are replaced by small wooden houses, roads become narrow concrete paths or dirt tracks and crowds of people are replaced by vegetation and trees. We can’t tell you exactly where you will be riding - it’s our little secret that you can only discover by joining the tour.
After a satisfying day of cycling, hop off the bike and relax in our shop while enjoying a complimentary drink from our ice-cold fridge.
