2010The other weekend we did a cycling tour in Bangkok. We did it through a company called Spice Roads and picked their Bangkok Jungle tour. It starts in the afternoon and lasts for about 5 hours leaving from Sukhumvit and heading over the river to Samut Prakan which is the big grassy area on the Nancy Chandler map of Bangkok.
There was a bit of cycling on the Bangkok road at the beginning and the end but it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be and everyone survied in the traffic. It is pretty hot so make sure you bring some water (even though it is provided for you on the tour).
I’d definitely recommend it although if you crossed the river yourself you can hire bikes over there and cycle around at your own leisure which would probably be cheaper and easier if you prefer to take it easy in the Bangkok heat.
I’m not sure I will be choosing the bicycle as a mode of transport from now on around Bangkok though!
