‘Countryside’ takes you through the outskirts of the bustling city. Peddle through farmland, old temples and enjoy the serenity the suburbs offer. It covers 35km and takes about 6 hours. Bangkok by night is quiet enchanting. The ‘Night Bikes’ starts at sunset and goes through small lanes, ancient temples, on a ferry across the Chao Phraya River, exploring Temple of the Dawn (locally known as Wat Arun), which at this time of the day is minus the throngs of visitors, the famous flower market, further explorations of a temple, this time the Wat Pho and the impromptu market place in Sanam Luang. All this within 3 -4 hours!
The best of the city’s old features are well hidden in nooks and corners and the best option for someone keen on history would be to join a cycle tour specializing in history. ‘Bike Historic’ will take you along the smaller streets and lanes to discover the well hidden temples, old structures and ancient attractions. This 15km drive does not take more than 4 to 5 hours.
