Discover Bangkok by both bike and boat. Cycle through the famously frenetic Chinatown district and uncover corners of the capital only the locals know. Then, see why the city is known as the ‘Venice of the East' with a longtail boat ride in the canals.
The format is bike-boat-bike, as you kick off with a cycle through Chinatown's warren of narrow alleyways and small sidestreets, absorbing the atmosphere of this living museum. You'll then board a typical longtail boat for a cruise in the city's network of ancient canals lined with wood-framed homes on stilts. You'll see a real snapshot of Thai life along the shore.
Back on the bike, you'll pedal through the almost-forgotten tropical plantations that ring the city. These green lungs are a pleasant surprise not because of their beauty but because they have survived almost intact into the 21st century despite their proximity to the city.
