Highlights
  • Lumpini Park - Lumpini Park is an inner-city haven of tranquility, fresh air and shade - offering city dwellers the perfect connection to nature. Named after the birthplace of the Lord Buddha in Nepal, the park is more than half a million square metres big, and the habitat of various flora and fauna. Historically, it dates back to the 1920s and was set to be an exhibition centre for Thai crafts and flower displays. Although this original vision was never fulfilled, Lumpini Park has over the years grown into the endearing centre for outdoor leisure activities for Bangkokians, who would convene before and after sunset to enjoy a round of jog, light workout, aerobics and a host of other recreational activities.

Varied tour through Bangkok with a very good guide - Nice varied tour, straight through Bangkok, cycling through the market, through Lumpini Park, a nice Thai lunch, on a smoothly cycling bike, and a very good guide. Highly recommended !

Cycle the town. You'd love the experience! - I think it's the best way to explore Bangkok (half day ride only) from a local's perspective and on a bicycle. We rode through the morning rush hour with street vendors selling breakfast along the pedestrian walkway, visit a local buddhist temple, in between squatter homes and villages. Unconventional local spots and parks where tourists would not know where to go. Drinks and lunch is included in the package and we rode at our own pace. Recommended 100%.

Fun day out. - I was staying in Silom near Chong Nonsi BTS. I booked the Bangkok City Culture tour with Thailand biking after seeing a video of them on the Global Travel Mate u tube channel. It included riding along the elevated bikeway between Benchakitti Forest Park and Lumphini Park. Which I wanted to see. There were 4 of us and a guide on this tour. After being kitted out with helmets and bikes we set off. I wasn't comfortable with the upright style of bike on offer. So asked and was given a mountain bike (a Merida). One that I was more familiar with. The bikes were all of excellent quality. The tour had a bit of everything. We cycled through Bangkok traffic which I found daunting at first but as we progressed got used to it. Traffic in the city is mainly gridlocked & slow moving which helped. We stopped off at a local temple and had a rest break at Talad Khlong Toei market. Highlight of the trip for me was Cycling through Benchakitti park (gorgeously green) with fabulous bike tracks and then taking the elevated section to Lumphinee. That was fun and traffic free. At various points along the way we got the chance to stop and take pictures. After that it was back through the traffic to the office. The guide we had was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Whenever we stopped he would tell us a brief history of the area while pointing out local landmarks. One small criticism. While we were biking through traffic the guide and the first rider got away from us (the last three riders) several times. The distance was about 30 to 40 metres. Eventually noticing that we weren't there they stopped and waited. A small thing but worth mentioning. It was well run and organised. I enjoyed it, had a lot of fun, and plan to come back. Oops, nearly forgot. The staff showed us where to catch The BRT bus from WAT DAN station (just up the street) all the way back to Silom Where you can access the Chong Nonsi BTS. Worth remembering.

Bike Tour Rocks!! - Am, our guide, was extraordinary. Knew the city like the back of his hand, guided us safely, provided history and little known facts, showed us gems within the city. Super cool way to explore Bangkok. Traveled through neighborhoods and experienced street art, food, shops, cafes, people, parks and history. The best Bangkok experience of all which is saying a lot!

Amazing experience! - Biking through Bangkok is an adventure you don't wanne miss. Through alleys, over the main road during rushhour, almost through people's living rooms, over markets, old trainstation trails. Parks. With nice area views over the old and new city. If you love biking, you love this.

Different view of the City - The Tour was fantastic ... but also a little exhausting in the heat ;) So bring a lot of sunscreen an a cap! Our Guide Oh was great, told us a lot about the culture and had always a joke on her lips. But dont forget that you are cycling in Bangkok with all the "traffic", so be prepared!!
