| About the

This one-day tour takes you the rural backwater of Bangkok. We will pick you up from your hotel in Bangkok vicinity and the ride will start at the Kamalulislam Mosque, the hub of Muslim community. Riding along the canals, you will have a glimpse of harmonious lifestyles of Thai families, as well as seeing fish farms, working rice mills, traditional Thai wooden houses and a traditional medicine shop. We visit the bizarre temple of Wat Phurt Udom Pol where we will see a work of arts that show Buddhist ideology of heaven and hell while waiting for lunch. After lunch, continue our cycling for another 10 km to the old market of Nong Chock district. We then trade bikes for a boat ride and complete the journey with a river cruise down the Saen Saeb canal back to the mosque. Transfer back to your hotel by air-conditioned minivan.
This tour follows a mix of asphalt roads, vehicle-width dirt roads, and canal paths. No technical ability is required. Water and snacks are provided.
