14 day Thailand Adventure Tour

You will also go to a viewpoint where you can see the three countries together.

You will be picked up early in the morning by our driver who will take you to the starting point of this tour. There are bicycles for children and seats for the little ones. The tour takes about 3 hours and can be easily done by inexperienced cyclists.

A bike tour in Bangkok is not only a perfect way to escape the heat of this huge city, it is also the easiest route to the heart of this immense and diverse metropolis.  As the main roads with dense traffic will be avoided, you will visit areas, inaccessible to cars and many other traffic. You will cycle on small roads, in narrow alleys, along local markets and on footpaths.

The tour starts in the heart of Chinatown, one of Bangkok’s most busy neighbourhoods. We cycle through winding narrow alleys, along covered markets, warehouses, shops and workshops. You can hear the operating workshops and smell the food of cooking people on the street. The local population is mainly Buddhist. They visit temples in the area, perform ritual burnings of paper, believe in spirits – all this being part of an ancient culture.

Halfway the trip we leave Chinatown and cross the Chao Phraya river. With, behind us, a magnificent view of the city skyline, we cycle into Thonburi, once the capital of Thailand (historically speaking, Thonburi was the third capital of Thailand). You immediately notice that this part of the city is much quieter: a lot greener and the people are more friendly and easy-going. We cycle through residential areas, occasionally greeted by smiling inhabitants. Now we are truly offroad! We now experience the REAL Bangkok.

After you have met your guide and driver, you go to the Romhub market. This is a unique attraction! The market is right next to the railway line: when the train is about to pass, the sellers remove all their merchandise from the railway. And when the train is gone, they put everything back in a few seconds.

You can then take your time to have breakfast. You continue your trip and make a stop at the Thai to cook some delicious dishes yourself and to enjoy a tasty, self-made meal.

When we were there, we got a nice kitchen apron and started immediately with the help of very good cook. We prepared Tomyam Kung and Pat Thai Kung. Really delicious!

After lunch the trip continues to the mangrove forest where you sail between the corrages in a private longtail boat. As you sail through the mangrove forest, the monkeys come out. Especially the mama monkey with baby delighted us. Our children threw food to the monkeys and enjoyed their antics when trying to catch all the tasty goodness. The monkeys jumped on the twigs and swam in the water.

After that trip we went for a swim in the sea which was of course great fun! A day full of great great experiences,  with a score of more than 10 out of 10 according to our children.

Today you embark to your new stay for 1 night: the floating houses on the River Kwai.

With a small boat you sail to the floating houses, built on a bamboo raft. You have your own little cottage with jetty and hammock. Our children loved to jump from the raft into the river, let themselves be carried away a little bit by the current and then crawl on the raft again a little further. Swimming here is very safe if you wear a life jacket. When exploring the area, even our 6-year-old jumped into the water with dad. A superb location to spend the whole day!

There is no electricity in the floating houses, but in the evening they are illuminated by oil lamps. You end the day with a delicious dinner on the terrace and traditional Mon-dances on the stage of the junglerafts. A very unique experience, you won’t easily forget!
