This one day tour takes you out of Bangkok and back into the Thailand of old. Participants will be picked up from their hotels. The ride starts at the Kamalulislam mosque, the hub of the local Muslim community. Riding along the canals, you will glimpse the harmonious lifestyles of Thai families, as well as seeing fish farms, working rice mills, traditional Thai wooden houses and a traditional medicine shop. Visit the bizarre temple of Phurt Udom Pol where you have a chance to visit Buddhist heaven and hell while waiting for lunch. Continue cycling for another 10km to the old market town of Nong Chock. Then trade bikes for boats and complete the journey with a river cruise down the Saen Seab canal back to the mosque.
This is a gentle 40-km ride along country back roads and suitable for anyone that can ride a bike. You ride in a group with experienced cycle guides setting a gentle pace and stop often to visit points of interest and allow everyone to catch up. Guides are knowledgeable on the local area and customs and explain the history, culture and local way-of-life during each stop.
