Bangkok bike tours without the tourist trail.
Three Bangkok bike tours.
One real Thonburi.
Follow the route, stop by stop.
Tap any stop to see where it falls in the ride. Every route is a loop — you finish where you started, on flat lanes and canal paths.
Drawn by hand and not to scale — the places are the real ones we ride past, but the lanes between them vary with the day. For the precise meeting point, see it on Google Maps.
Thonburi isn’t a tourist zone. It’s their neighbourhood.
Bangkok’s first capital sits across the river from the Grand Palace, and most visitors never cross. All four of our guides grew up in these lanes — they are taking you home.
Thonburi · across the river- Coco Lead Guide · Phra Nakhon
Eight years and two thousand guests in. Still loves watching people fall for these backstreets.
- Guitar Senior Guide · Thonburi
Grew up on the same canal streets we cycle every morning. Times the route for the temple light.
- Pokpong Guide · Thonburi
Canal-born. Knows the wooden pier where the old boatmen still gather at dawn.
- Tom Guide · Thonburi
Sports-and-adventure guy leading tours through his own backyard. Finds the bridges maps don't show.
Is this ride for you? +
- you would rather see where people live than where they queue
- you can ride a bike on flat ground — Thonburi has no hills
- you are somewhere between 6 and 75, our youngest and oldest riders
- you came for the Grand Palace and Wat Pho — we do not go there
- you want a fast ride for the exercise; this one stops a lot
- you have never ridden a bike. We cannot teach you on the day.
What our guests say.
“Fabulous!!! The best way to see and experience the Real Bangkok. Guitar our guide was the best. A must if you are visiting Bangkok!”
“The tour is run by a true local who was born and raised in Thonburi, and it really shows. We explored small alleys, local markets, beautiful temples, and hidden corners that we would never have found by ourselves.”
“Coco was a brilliant guide, funny, informative and really looked after us - we felt safer cycling in Bangkok traffic than we sometimes do in England! Canals, quiet backstreet routes, local food market and utterly beautiful temples - fascinating and literally off the beaten path.”
