1

As part of your Candbike bike and boat journey, you’ll ride through Talad Phlu, one of Bangkok’s most authentic and flavorful neighborhoods. Known for its rich Chinese-Thai heritage and legendary street food, this area offers a vibrant window into everyday local life.
What You’ll See and Do:
• Cycle Through a Historic District: Pedal past rows of shophouses, local shrines, and colorful street murals in one of Bangkok’s oldest neighborhoods.
• Experience the Local Rhythm: Watch vendors prepping dumplings, locals sipping tea, and monks collecting alms — a real slice of Bangkok life without the tourist crowds.
• Learn the Cultural Roots: Your guide will share stories about Talad Phlu’s Chinese-Thai roots, why the area thrived near the canals, and how it remains a proud local community.

Talad Phlu is not just a pass-through — it’s a living, breathing neighborhood that lets you experience Bangkok’s history and flavor from the saddle of your bike.

Stop Highlight: Wat Khun Chan

At Wat Khun Chan, travelers will step into one of Bangkok’s most visually striking and lesser-known temple complexes. Located along the quiet canals of Thonburi, this temple is a vivid contrast to the polished tourist spots—it’s raw, local, and full of character.

What You’ll See & Do:
• Admire the towering seated Buddha statue, surrounded by colorful figures from Thai mythology, including giants and celestial beings
• Learn from your guide about the symbolism behind the temple’s statues, and its role in the local community.
• Capture unforgettable photos with a backdrop of ornate sculptures, golden stupas, and vibrant wall art.
• See how religion blends with everyday life in Bangkok, as monks and locals go about their day in a working temple.

This stop gives travelers an authentic taste of spiritual Bangkok—unpolished, meaningful, and full of local charm.

Longtail Boat Canal Cruise – Discover Bangkok’s Hidden Waterways (Klongs)

After exploring the city by bike, you’ll hop aboard a private traditional longtail boat and glide through the serene klongs of Thonburi — the original heart of Bangkok. This peaceful cruise offers a striking contrast to the city’s busy streets and reveals a side of Bangkok most visitors never see.

What You’ll See and Do:
• Cruise the Historic Klongs: Float past old wooden houses on stilts, spirit shrines, neighborhood temples, and lush green gardens lining the canal banks.
• Witness Everyday Canal Life: See locals watering plants, feeding fish, or relaxing on porches — a glimpse into the slow rhythm of waterside living.
• Feel the Breeze and Quiet: The gentle movement of the boat and cool breeze offer a moment to relax and enjoy a quieter, greener Bangkok.
This longtail boat cruise is more than transportation — it’s a journey back in time and a peaceful, eye-opening highlight of your Bangkok experience.

Wat Nakprok – A Serene Temple Blending Thai and Chinese Spiritual Traditions

During your Candbike bike and boat adventure, you’ll bike passed at Wat Nakprok, a lesser-known temple with rich cultural significance and stunning architectural detail. Nestled near the canals of Thonburi, this tranquil spot offers a deeper connection to Bangkok’s diverse religious heritage.

What You’ll See and Do:
• Admire the Architecture: Wat Nakprok features a rare blend of Thai and Chinese temple styles, with beautifully carved rooftops, golden details, and ornate guardian statues welcoming you at the gate.

Wutthakat – A Hidden Urban Oasis Between Old and New Bangkok

As part of your Candbike adventure, you’ll ride through Wutthakat, a quiet and often-overlooked neighborhood that offers a fascinating mix of local charm, greenery, and Bangkok’s evolving cityscape. It’s a peaceful detour off the tourist path — perfect for slow exploration by bicycle.

What You’ll See and Do:
• Cycle Along Peaceful Backroads: Ride through leafy lanes, small canals, and friendly local streets where everyday life unfolds at a relaxed pace.
• Interact with the Community: Smile at locals walking their dogs, kids riding bikes, or elders relaxing outside their homes — the neighborhood vibe is friendly and genuine.

Wutthakat isn’t about famous landmarks — it’s about authentic atmosphere, real neighborhoods, and seeing how Bangkok’s people live outside the spotlight. It’s a simple but rich part of your journey.
