Bangkok
Bike and boat tours: Get off the bus and get closer to the culture
Bangkok is Southeast Asia’s friendliest and most accessible jewel. It shines with golden temples, colorful markets, and nightlife that would make New Orleans blush. There are plenty of iconic, don’t-miss sites: Wat Arun (the Temple of Dawn), the Grand Palace and Wat Prakeaw, the colorful floating market, and the chaotic bustle of Chinatown.
But the savviest travelers will pick one of their precious days for a truly memorable bike and boat tour of Bangkok, arranged by AutoVenture.
Led by an experienced guide, the bike and boat tour takes you through the city’s lesser-known areas. You’ll meet locals, and experience where they work, live and play. You’ll drink in the colors and aromas of orchid farms, banana, papaya and mango trees. Other stops include a local Buddhist temple, a clothing or shoe manufacturing facility, a kickboxing arena, a salt factory, and an open-air market. Naturally, the tour is catered with plenty of bottled water and tasty Thai cuisine.
The trip includes floating across the Chao Praya River in a long tail boat; where you can see residential areas with both luxury condos mixed in with slums. With AutoVenture’s personable guides and an authentic local itinerary, your Thailand adventure will be that much richer.
