TOUR ITINERARY
Guests are picked up at all major hotels in Bangkok according to our pick up route described in the terms and conditions. We then transfer by a/c bus southwards to start our bicycle exploration of the Mae Klong Delta area at Damnoen Nam Saduak floating market, the biggest and most colorful in Thailand. Starting with a long tail boat ride to Wat Amphawan Chetiyaram, our ride takes us through coconut, aloe vera planations and fruit orchards. Riding quiet back roads and jeep trails we stop to visit temples and appreciate the countryside. We have a Thai lunch at a riverside restaurant on the banks of the Mae Klong before cycling back to the floating market, to end the trip.
