Bangkok’s Popular Night Bike Tour

Bangkok’s Popular Night Bike Tour

Let your expert local guide take you off the beaten tourist trails of Bangkok on a bike tour of quiet back roads and small alleyways. Enjoy local cuisine, jump on a ferry and visit historic sacred temples, all in the cool comfort of a night tour.

Once the day’s heat has faded, pedal the beautiful historic center of Bangkok with its illuminated temples and colorful markets buzzing with local activity. You’ll be surprised at how few tourists are here in the evening, and you’ll sample local street food as guides tell you the stories of the area.

Yes, it is safe to take Bangkok city tour by bicycle (we have operated this tour for over 9 years with 50,000 happy customers). We avoid the main roads and all our trips are well researched for maximum safety and great experiences. Our guides are well trained and extremely safety conscious, as well as super proud of their heritage and excited to share Thai history with you.
