Bangkok Hidden Paths Night Biking Tour with Street-food Meal
Description
See Bangkok in a different light as we explore this vibrant Asian capital by night. Gone are the surging crowds and frenetic market activities which dominate the daytime hours. Instead, you will discover a festival of illumination within the relative tranquility of the cool evening air. peaceful elements of local Thai life abound as we cycle through diverse residential communities. Inquisitive smiles and friendly greetings reinforce the feeling we have truly left the “beaten path”. Along the way, we will also indulge in a delicious street food dish just like the locals do, adding a flavorful touch to the Real Bangkok experience. .

The All day tour was fantastic! You just see a bit more of Bangkok and also of real Thai life. The guides are fantastic. In between there were plenty of moments to have a drink. The background information is nice. Lunch was delicious. The various means of transport are fun to experience.
Very informative, super helpful team. There were 3 guides and in case of a flat tire of one of the participants, one of the guides gave up his bike, while we were riding on, he fixed the tire and kept up with us. Great.
Wat geweldig om te horen! 😄 Fijn dat ons team zo behulpzaam was en dat alles soepel verliep, zelfs met een lekke band. We hopen je snel weer te zien voor een volgende tour! 🚴♂️✨
It appears the quality of the tours varies depending on the guide. After doing a great tour in Chiang Mai with the same company, I was looking forward to this one. However, we spent a lot of time in traffic and crowded areas (didn't feel like we biked all that much), the meal was not great quality (a shame in a city like Bangkok with so many excellent street food spots), and I didn't feel like I got a lot of insight into Bangkok. Also, the air pollution was tough (irritated eyes, etc.) - this is something to be aware of. That being said, riding down Chinatown's main street, visiting the flower market, and seeing the river at night were all beautiful moments.

My daughter and I had a great time on the Bangkok Hidden Paths Night Tour. Our guides, Ping and Jack, were friendly and informative. It was very enjoyable to get off the main tracks, to see Chinatown at night time and to eat some wonderful street food - banana roti was a particular favourite! The length of the ride was very manageable. A very enjoyable evening. Big thanks to all at Co Van Kessel and to Ping and Jack.

So disappointed with this tours my friend and i want to learn a lots about thailand local bight life and something different from a part of city. But nothing it really worth and busy noisy not the experience to cycling around. Even street food no that nice. We are not recommended this tours

An excellent tour, professionally guided by enthusiastic guides (Khun Ping and Khun Fluk). We rode the back streets of Talat Noi up to Yaowarat, visited the flower market there before crossing the river by the Phra Phutthayotfa Bridge to ride around the neighborhoods there. Ended by taking a short ferry ride back across the river to River City and the office. I highly recommend this tour. It's easy to ride, though in spots a bit narrow, and the guides will help keep traffic off while the group crossed roads with cars. Very relaxing indeed.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the route and guidance from Khun Ping and Khun Fluk. It's great to know you found it both relaxing and well-organized — we’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to the team. We hope to welcome you back for another ride soon! 🚲🌸
Ling our lead guide, Amp her assistant and Steve our body guard did an outstanding job. All three gave us a lovely time, learning a lot along the way and enjoying moments with everyone. Really made us feel safe in and amongst the chaotic Bangkok traffic. As for the biking, it is awesome. So many hidden little paths and streets you’d never think of biking through which makes it extremely fun. Really do rate this experience!!
That was just great. Absolute recommendation. No stress, hardly any heat, relaxing riding, top bikes, very prudent care. This is the right start for a Bangkok getaway. Do that!
Excellent experience. Highly recommend going at night when the temps are cooler and crowds dispersed. We got a great perspective of life off the beaten trail and the stops at Chinatown, temples, and the flower market were superb. Don’t sleep on this experience!
