| Cycling in remote countryside near Bangkok is must-try tour program while in Bangkok. This tour takes you to the flat dirt road dedicates to casual traveler. We stop quite often to visit the farmer, I was actually going into the muddy fish farm and try to catch it with the help of the fisherman. I was all covered with mud, but it was good experiences of us. The countryside is quite unique with the green of rice fields and mixed farm, villagers are so helpful, the lively local markets consist of bugs' life and others weird animal, the temple is uniquely made from teak wood with Thai traditional style. And the local school fills with enjoyment of schoolchildren when they saw us approaching to the school. Great enjoy.
These bicycle tours bring you to very small backstreets, alleys, markets, temples and even the small streets and houses below Bangkok highways. This gives a true picture of daily life for a lot of people in the city. The tours will give you an impression of real Bangkok. You cycle through neighborhoods where you will never go on your own. After a nice trip by longtail boat you will leave the metropolis part behind and continue the tour through an oasis of green landscape scattered by fruit plantations and typical Thai style houses. Here are no traffic jams, no hassle, no shopping malls, no modern-day Bangkok life. As if you are in a remote village, people live in small houses, living from the products on their lands. The tours are fun and easy to do. Preparing for these tours? No need, it is easy going. The ONLY thing you have to bring is a camera and a good sense of humor, but the last they never worry....
