Bangkok: Bike and Canal Boat Tour with Lunch

1.Bike and Canal Boat Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,350 reviews · 3h 30m · from $47Our pick

Ride quiet lanes through Thonburi with guides such as Otto, Bo, or Jobe, stopping at temples, markets, Wat Paknam, and The Artist’s House. You’ll eat Thai food by the canal, then load your bicycle onto a long-tail boat for a 50-minute ride through Bangkok’s leafy waterways. Expect local life, some traffic, and more cycling than a casual sightseeing tour.

“Very fun! A fantastic mix of experiencing the real local Bangkok, learning about the culture and history, enjoying a delicious lunch, stopping at markets and boating the canals. Highly recommend!”
