About this experience

Let your expert local guide take you off the beaten tourist trails of Bangkok on a bike tour of quiet back roads and small alleyways. Enjoy local cuisine, jump on a ferry and visit historic sacred temples, all in the cool comfort of a night tour.

Once the day’s heat has faded, pedal the beautiful historic center of Bangkok with its illuminated temples and colorful markets buzzing with local activity. You’ll be surprised at how few tourists are here in the evening, and you’ll sample local street food as guides tell you the stories of the area.

Yes, it is safe to take Bangkok city tour by bicycle (we have operated this tour for over 9 years with 50,000 happy customers). We avoid the main roads and all our trips are well researched for maximum safety and great experiences. Our guides are well trained and extremely safety conscious, as well as super proud of their heritage and excited to share Thai history with you.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Gather at the meeting point
Gather at the meeting point at 5:30 pm. The night tour will depart at 6 pm sharp, so make sure you allow plenty of time to get here, accounting for peak hour traffic. After a quick bike fitting and briefing, it's time to hit the bikes. We’ll avoid main roads by pedaling our way through small laneways, past ancient temples and canals to see the heart and soul of Bangkok.

Stop 2

Cycle and ferry to Wat Arun
After passing through Thammasat University, we cross the Chao Phraya River by ferry. Crossing the river around sunset provides quite lovely views. Once across, we cycle quiet back roads to Wat Arun, the Temple of the Dawn. At night, Wat Arun is spectacularly illuminated and free of the throngs of day tourists so you can enjoy the serene ambiance of the temple.

Stop 3

Visit the Flower Market
The next unforgettable stop is the world-famous Bangkok flower market, the largest wholesale flower market in Thailand. After crossing the Chao Phraya bridge, we stop at the flower market which is at its busiest this time of night and an exciting show of color and activity. On the walk through, your guide will treat you to some of Thailand’s famous street food.

Stop 4

Wat Pho
Next on the route is Wat Pho, the renowned Temple of the Reclining Buddha. While the reclining Buddha is not visible to visitors in the evening, the temple grounds are truly magical, with beautifully illuminated chedi spires covered in porcelain mosaics. Explore the peaceful temple grounds in the cool evening air - a vastly different scene from the noisy crowds found here during the day, almost like having a privileged private tour.

The night bike tour usually takes 3-4 hours but is variable by group. Dinner is not included in the night tour but we do include some fun and tasty street food snacks in the flower market.
