½ Day • Cycle Tour Chinatown

     Our half day cycle trip is a fascinating glimpse into the Bangkok of old. We take in some of the more popular Bangkok Landmarks: Chinatown, Wat Arun (Temple of the Dawn), and the Royal Barge Museum, but we also goes off the beaten path and show you some lesser known sites that are not on the tourist map. We start by exploring the bustling Chinatown area (Yoawarat) before crossing the Chao Phraya to the more serene and often less visited temples and sites of Thonburi. We ride along quiet back roads of this area stopping at the occasional market as we head to the Princess Mother Memorial Park and museum, although small, this is well kept and well worth a visit. Some lesser known temples, the Chao Praya river and a sampling of a local Thai dessert that has it origins from the Portuguese who settled here, Wat Arun (Temple of the Dawn) and the Royal Barge Museum are all part of this interesting and varied bike trip.
