Overview

Two Experiences in One:
Discover Bangkok by both land and water. Cycle through hidden neighborhoods, colorful markets, and local temples before cruising along quiet canals on a private longtail boat — a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.

• Explore Hidden Bangkok (Not Tourist Bangkok):
Ride through charming backstreets that most tourists never see. Visit authentic local areas such as Wat Khun Chan, Wat Nakprok, and quiet neighborhoods untouched by mass tourism.

• Up Close with Canal Life:
Glide past wooden stilt houses, waving locals, floating temples, riverside shrines, and everyday life that still thrives along the canals of Thonburi.

• Intimate Small Group Experience:
This is not a tourist bus. With a maximum of 8 guests per tour, you’ll feel like you’re exploring Bangkok with a friend — personal, relaxed, and authentic.

What to expect

15m

Our first taste of real Bangkok life. Wat Klang is a working neighbourhood fresh market — trays of river fish on ice, mountains of chillies and lemongrass, Nothing here is arranged for visitors. We ride/walk through slowly so you can see, smell and photograph a market that has fed this community for generations, and your guide will point out the stranger things on the stalls.
Wat Khun Chan
15m

A quiet local temple with an unusual guardian: a towering black statue of Phra Rahu, the Hindu-Thai deity who swallows the sun and moon during an eclipse. Thais come here to turn bad luck around, leaving offerings that must all be black — black sticky rice, black jelly, black coffee, even black soft drinks. Your guide explains who Rahu is, why Wednesday night is his night, and how to make an offering yourself.
Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen
30m

One of Bangkok's most striking sights, and still mostly unknown to visitors. A 69-metre bronze Buddha sits above the temple grounds, visible from streets away. Inside the white pagoda beneath it, an emerald-green glass stupa glows under a ceiling painted with the cosmos — one of the most photographed interiors in the city. This is also the home temple of Thailand's Dhammakaya meditation tradition.
2h

We leave the streets behind and ride a narrow concrete path through land most people cannot believe still exists in Bangkok: banana and coconut groves, vegetable plots, fish ponds, birds instead of engines. We pause at a small family shop for a cold drink and a rest in the shade — a good moment to talk to your guide about life out here, and how long this green belt has left.

Local Thai restaurant, Thonburi, Bangkok

Around 1pm we stop for lunch at a family-run restaurant where local residents eat. Honest Thai cooking, freshly made, served the way it is served to Thai customers — not a tourist buffet. Vegetarian and other dietary needs can be arranged if you tell us when you book. Time to sit, cool down and eat properly before the second half of the day.
Bangkok Yai
1h

Longtail Boat Canal Cruise – Discover Bangkok’s Hidden Waterways (Klongs)

The bikes come aboard and we set off by traditional long-tail boat down the Dao Khanong canal. Wooden houses lean over the water, temple piers slide past, laundry hangs from balconies and neighbours wave as the long propeller shaft churns behind us. Then the canal opens out onto the Chao Phraya — the river Bangkok was built on — and you see the city from the water, the way it was always meant to be seen.
Wat Intharam Worawiharn
1h

We come ashore at Wat Intharam, the royal temple of King Taksin the Great, who rebuilt Siam after the fall of Ayutthaya and made Thonburi his capital. His stupa still stands here, in a temple that almost no visitor finds. From here it is a short, flat ride back to our shop.

Note: the canal is controlled by a water gate. If the gate is closed on the day, we come ashore instead at the Santa Cruz pier in Kudi Chin — the 250-year-old Portuguese Catholic quarter, with its riverside church and famous Thai-Portuguese cakes — and cycle home from there. Either way you end the day with a story most visitors to Bangkok never hear.
