Description complète
Cette visite guidée à vélo de 3 heures vous emmène à travers le district de Thonburi sur la rive ouest de Bangkok, le côté plus tranquille, plus ancien, et plus authentique de la ville que la plupart des visiteurs ne voient jamais. À vélo, vous pouvez accéder aux ruelles étroites, aux sentiers de canaux, et aux allées de temples qui sont complètement hors limites pour les tuk-tuks et les bus touristiques.
L'itinéraire traverse des ruelles bordées de maisons-boutiques traditionnelles en bois, passe devant des temples communautaires où les moines collectent des aumônes tôt le matin, le long des khlongs (canaux) où les bateaux longtail transportent écoliers et vendeurs de marché, et à travers des marchés locaux vendant des choses qui n'ont rien à voir avec le tourisme. C'est la vie quotidienne de Bangkok, et vous roulez en plein milieu.
Votre guide (généralement Dan ou Filip, tous deux résidents de longue date de Bangkok avec une véritable connaissance du quartier) garde le groupe petit, un maximum de 8 cyclistes, et se déplace à un rythme détendu avec des arrêts fréquents pour les photos, les histoires, et les collations de rue. L'itinéraire est plat et facile, conçu pour tous les niveaux de condition physique. Les invités âgés de 8 à 75 ans le terminent confortablement.
Les points forts le long de l'itinéraire de 15 à 18 km incluent : des maisons traditionnelles en teck sur pilotis au bord des canaux, des anciens wats cachés entre les maisons avec presque aucun visiteur, le son des cloches de temple et des chants de moines tôt le matin, des bateaux longtail se faufilant à travers d'étroites voies d'eau, et un véritable marché local où les seuls touristes sont dans votre groupe.
La visite fonctionne deux fois par jour à 9h00 et 14h00. Vélos, casques, eau, et ponchos de pluie sont tous inclus. Aucune expérience nécessaire, juste la capacité de faire du vélo de manière indépendante.

Programme détaillé
The tour starts at the Candbike base near BTS Pho Nimit station in the Thonburi district. After the briefing and bike fitting, you head out into the neighbourhood immediately.
The first section takes you through Thonburi's quiet residential sois — narrow lanes where the buildings crowd close, locals hang laundry from upper windows, and motorbike taxis wait on corners. Your guide points out community shrines, explains the architecture of traditional Thai shophouses, and tells you which families have lived in these lanes for three or four generations.
As the route continues, you reach the khlong (canal) paths. These are the waterways that made Thonburi a city long before the roads did. Longtail boats pass at speed, monks cross in small wooden ferries, and canal-side communities go about their morning routines — cooking, bathing, repairing boats — with no particular interest in tourists on bicycles.
About halfway through, there is a stop at a local fresh market. This is not a tourist market. The vendors sell vegetables, fresh fish, grilled pork skewers, and ingredients for home cooking. You can browse, photograph, and pick up snacks. Your guide can translate and recommend.
The second half of the route moves toward the Chao Phraya riverside, where you get wide-open views of the river, the Grand Palace across the water, and Wat Arun's spire catching the morning or afternoon light. You ride along the riverside path past community temples and fishing spots before looping back to the Candbike base.
Total distance: 15–18 km. Total duration: 3 hours. Return to base by 12:00 (morning tour) or 17:00 (afternoon tour).

Avis des voyageurs
Our guide was the sweetest! She could tell a lot about the neighborhoods and the sights and gave us all the time we needed to explore. Definitely recommend!
A-MAZ-ING!! We had such a good time with our guide Coco, he really was the sweetest guide who knew a lot about the region and could tell us cool facts. We’ve been to places we would have skipped, but I’m so glad we made time for this tour. We made memories we’ll keep for a long time. Thank you so much Coco and thank you for this experience, it was magnificent!
What a great way to see a different side of Bangkok, our guides Phillip and Gita were friendly and informative. I'd not ridden a bike for 30-40 years but it was just like riding a bike! Highly recommended
Best way to see the real Bangkok. We cycled through tiny alleyways and along canals that you'd never find on your own. Our guide pointed out local temples where monks were chanting and we stopped at a family-run noodle shop. The bikes were well-maintained and the pace was very manageable.
Such a unique perspective of Bangkok away from the tourist crowds. We rode through neighborhoods where kids waved at us and grandmas were cooking on the sidewalk. The canal sections were beautiful and peaceful. Guide knew every shortcut and kept the group safe in traffic.
Really enjoyed this tour but be prepared for the heat. We covered about 25km which was more than expected. The local life sections along the canals were fascinating and our guide shared stories about the communities. Bring lots of water and sunscreen. Would have liked a slightly shorter route.
Cycling through Bangkok's hidden neighborhoods was incredible. We visited a small temple where our guide explained the daily routines of the monks. The canal-side communities felt like a different world from the busy city center. Loved every minute of it.
My husband and I did this on our honeymoon and it was a highlight. The route takes you through parts of Bangkok that feel like countryside villages. We stopped at a gorgeous temple with nobody else around. The guide was knowledgeable about Thai Buddhist culture and local traditions.
Good tour for seeing a different side of Bangkok. The cycling was easy and the bike quality was decent. Temples and canal communities were the highlights. Only giving 4 stars because the start time of 7am felt early but I understand it's to avoid the midday heat.
I was nervous about cycling in Bangkok but the guide kept us on quiet back roads and canal paths the entire time. We saw local life that most tourists never experience. The flower market stop was beautiful and the temple visits felt authentic and unhurried.
Travelled solo and this was the perfect group activity. Met great people and our guide was super friendly. The route through the canal neighborhoods was eye-opening. We stopped at a local market where I tried fresh coconut water straight from the shell. Highly recommend.
Lovely way to spend a morning in Bangkok. The temples we visited were small and peaceful, nothing like the crowded tourist ones. Cycling along the canals was scenic and the local life was fascinating. Wish we had a bit more time at the last temple but overall great experience.
This tour shows you the Bangkok that guidebooks don't cover. Our guide took us through narrow lanes where locals were going about their daily life. The canal crossings on small ferries were fun and the temple stops were serene. Best activity we did in Bangkok.
Did this with my teenage daughter and we both loved it. The bikes had gears and were comfortable. Route was flat and easy. Seeing monks collecting alms in the morning and cycling past wooden houses on stilts along the canals was magical. Our guide was passionate and caring.
Excellent tour that combines exercise with culture. We visited three temples and rode along canals where you see the authentic side of Bangkok. The guide handled the group of 8 people very well and stopped frequently for photos and explanations. Would do it again without hesitation.
