This trip is the answer if you want to experience something different to the life outside the frenetic city of Bangkok. Locally run business by Arnie to provide a fun tour suitable for young & old to see the cultural contrast to the typical tourist hot spots by bike. By taking you off grid with a guide on a bike you will see so much more of the city & have fun on the way! Don't be put off by having to make your own way to the starting point. Recommend you to grab a grab!

Road along paths, lanes...

Shelley_B, Nov 2025
Road along paths, lanes and roads through housing areas of mixed socioeconomic areas. Taken to several interesting spots. Simple traditional lunch.

Fantastic bicycle trip

Svein_G, Nov 2025
We had a fantastic trip with Arne as guide. We did see a part of Bangkok that it’s difficult to se be you self. Nice bicycling tracks and stops at interesting locations, not anything boring. Good lunch in an interesting restaurant in the «jungle». This trip can be highly recommended.

Great service

Frank_N, Aug 2025
We were stuck in traffic and came late to the meeting point but Arne waited for us and followed us to the group.

We had a fantastic cycle...

Emma_P, Jul 2025
We had a fantastic cycle tour with Bangkok by Bike. We visited old Bangkok and cycling through backstreets and visiting local temples to get a sense of what real Bangkok life is life. Our guide Jobe was brilliant and had lots of local knowledge and information about Buddhism to share.

Wonderful back trails bike ride through Bangkok

Valerie_M, Mar 2025
Great way to see the quieter culturally rich areas where regular people live their daily lives in Bangkok. The narrow roads and cement trails in the back water areas were amazing to bike through. It gave a great glimpse of daily residential life minus much of the hustle and bustle of city life. I enjoyed the fruit and food sampling as well as the cultural immersion.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks very much for your contribution. Yeah I agree, you get a pretty good view of "Daily life in Bangkok"

well organized. see a part of Bangkok that is hidden and fun. well informed guide and tour.

Suresh_A, Jan 2025
Biking through the back lanes, drinking coffee in local tea shops and biking along the canals. Very safe and fun all the way. Excellent lunch

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks. I am very happy your impression of the bike tour was fun and safe.

Great bike tour!

Matthew_H, Aug 2024
Fantastic bike ride around non-touristy areas of Bangkok, getting to see sights most tourists wouldn't. Mostly off road or on back streets. Mixture of working class and more upmarket areas, some semi-rural sections. "Floating" market was an interesting stop (even if it was very much on land!) with great food to snack on. Lunch top was fun too. Bikes were in good condition and felt very safe. Guide was great. Would highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks a lot! I am glad you overall had a good experience from your visit at Bangkok By Bike

Authentic Bangkok on a bike

Sharon_N, Jul 2024
This tour gave us an opportunity to visit authentic Bangkok. It was humbling to see the 'real' Bangkok. Arne was informative and friendly. We would highly recommend a this tour; in fact we have already encouraged others to do it.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for a nice comment and your recommendation.

Fun, fantastic, interesting

Daniel_K, Apr 2024
Arnie is a knowledgeable and hospitable guide. The bike route is a side of Bangkok I would not have discovered on my own.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you! That´s the point - I did a bit of research to find these nice areas.

Fantastic way to see old Bangkok!

Sandy_K, Feb 2024
We had a fantastic tour with Jobe, our guide. He kept us very safe and guided us through the local alley ways and canals of old Bangkok. We stopped at a huge food market, a small refreshment spot, a temple and had lunch by a busy riverside. The owner Adrian waited for us since we were quite late arriving due to traffic. Don’t miss this tour!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for nice comment. Seems like you had a really great day on the bikes here, and I am glad for that.

Perfect experience

Bernhard_B, Feb 2024
Interesting hidden places, temples and manufactury (like bronze-sledge hammering) Great food and absolutely friendly guide! Thanks a lot!

Response from Host, May 2025

Sounds great, thank you!

Bangkok cycle ride.

Clive_C, Jan 2024
Annie was an excellent guide. The ride was at a leisurely pace and the sit up and beg bikes were kept in very good condition. A lot of the ride is in back street lanes and along canals so you see a lot of Bangkok that you would never otherwise see whilst on holiday. There are a few short stretches on busy roads but Arnie made sure we were safe at all times. We stopped off at various points including a food market and a temple. We also had a very nice coffee stop and a light Thai lunch by the canal. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for a nice and detailed description.

Authentic well worth doing experience!

Eamonn_H, Jan 2024
Great tour. Very authentic experience. Arne the owner is very helpful. Polly our guide was lovely and full of knowledge. Lots of fun especially feeding the catfish on the canal !

Response from Host, May 2025

Sound perfect, and I am very glad for that. Thank you!

Biking by canals

joannorozcoca, Jan 2024
Highlight of our Bangkok visit ! Arne our guide was the best , he took us on a delightful bike ride off the busy streets by the canals and got a feel for the local life!

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks a lot. Great.

Great half-day tour!

Jeff_H, Jan 2024
We enjoyed seeing different neighborhoods up close! Our family always tried to do a bike or Segway tour when we travel.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you!

Highlight of Bangkok

Gemma_C, Dec 2023
We had such a great time on our bike tour it was definitely the highlight of our stay in Bangkok. Great communication while organising and Bas was such a wonderful guide, highly recommend

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you, seems like you had a great time and I am glad you enjoyed the bike tour.

Excellent tour in the genuine backstreet where people live.

JanKjetil_A, Dec 2023
We could see parts of Bankok that most tourists do not see. The backstreets where people live. You should have some experience in bicycling since many the paths are narrow.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thanks for your review. Yes, the tour is not for beginners, but not advanced biking really.

Amazing Tour

Nicole_S, Nov 2023
The tour was amazing!! Spent a couple hours biking in and out of the backstreets of Bangkok. My tour guide was very passionate and knowledgeable of Thailand.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thanks for your nice words. It´s easy to be passionate, when I love my work.

Incredible tour!!! Highly recommend.

Rachel_M, Jul 2023
Jobe was our tour guide and he did an amazing job. Extremely knowledgeable of local Thailand and showed us around unique spots. Great experience and highly recommend!!! Good directions were given to get to the bike place and we were helped getting a taxi on the way home.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

I am glad you had a good trip on your visit at Bangkok By Bike. Thanks for nice words and hope you have a great honeymoon in Thailand!!

Backyard tour of Bangkok.

Emanuel_K, Jun 2023
A "behind the scenes" look at Bangkok. Rode thru alleys and trails away from the usual highlights (passed by shanties & canal homes, saw food market & local pagoda temple, ate lunch by the river, shared coffee in a local shop). Owner of bicycle tour is Swedish ex-pat now living in Thailand for 20 years. A different type of city tour which nicely complements the more touristy sites.

Great "behind the scenes" tour of Bangkok.

Scott_S, Jun 2023
This was a great tour to give you a picture of Bangkok that many tourists don't see. We were truly immersed in the local area and didn't see one other tourist during the entire tour. The guide was great and she passed along a lot of really good information and knowledge. We stopped at a local house to eat lunch and also took a mid-morning refreshment break in a very small cafe that overlooked the canals. You are navigating some tight areas and if you go off the path you will go straight into a canal so make sure you are confident riding a bike.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thanks for your detailed discription from your visit at Bangkok By Bike. Our purpose is just what you say - get away from the tourist track and give our clients a good lesson of Thai culture and local life. Confident is always good when biking, haha. Great comment, thanks again!

Great tour. Guide was...

Emily_S, Mar 2023
Great tour. Guide was great. Would definitely recommend it. Went to many places not crowded and got to see amazing spots not in a big tour guide.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you very much for your contribution. I am pleased you had a good experience biking with us.

“Moniterin” lizards...

Niels_E, Feb 2023
“Moniterin” lizards Living in Bangkok’s watercanals. This cresture about 80 cm long. Getting up to 2 meter long eating fish’es all day long.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Is this a review of a bike tour? Very hard to understand, in fact. Would be nice to know what you think about the bike tour instead? And it is unbeleivable Tripadvisor let a review like this, through the system. It does not help anyone about anything. Certainly not help other customer wanting to know what our bike tours is about.

Fun way to see the real Bangkok

Karen_A, Feb 2023
This tour was very fun. I would not recommend to anyone who doesn't ride a bike regularly as there are some tight turns and some hazards such as uneven sidewalks, open edges and some busy roads to cross, but the guides kept us quite safe and it really exposed daily life in Bangkok in a way a more traditional walking tour would not. If you like to bike, I highly recommend it!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Yes, at least you should be able to handle a bicycle to enjoy the trip. It is not advanced, but you need some balance for sure. Thanks for your recommendation!

Very experienced tour guide

Lee_W, Feb 2023
This was a great tour and the owner/guide we had was very knowledgeable of the area. He clearly loves what he does and has a passion for Thailand. I would however say that you should be pretty confident and competent on a bicycle for this tour. This is NOT for beginners on a bicycle as one moment of balance loss could send you to a steep fall. If your good on a bicycle I would recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for sharing your experience from your visit of our tour. It´s true, you should not be a beginner on the bike if you sign up for a tour. You were a eye witness for what could happen if you are not careful in the sharp corners, haha. Everything went well in the end, but like you say - if you are a poor biker, maybe it is better do something else.

A must-do in Bangkok!

Declan_H, Feb 2023
A must-do activity in Bangkok! Excellent tour and guide. So fascinating cycling through the alleyways and neighborhoods of this area which is so far removed from the chaos of the traffic. Very peaceful and very green. It really was like being in another world. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Yes, very good comment. It feels like the big city is very far away, but still so close.....amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Excelente

Cynthia_P, Feb 2023
Great guide named Bas. Took us to locals hang spots. Easy access to trails. Would do it again. Thank you

Response from Host, Jul 2023

You are welcome back if you get a chance. Thanks for your comment.

Real Thai Life

Michael_S, Jan 2023
Bas, our guide, showed us an interesting slice of Thai life as we biked through narrow neighborhood paths and along canals.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for this review!

Well worth it

Kenric_L, Jan 2023
It was great to get off the beaten track and see the other side of Bangkok that is not in all the tourist brochures. The guides were very informative and spoke good English. Would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Yes, our purpose is to get away from the tourist areas. I am glad you had a great visit here, thank you for your contribution.
