Cycling across Thailand with Siam Bike Tours – Discover a Brand New Thailand with Cycling Tours

Posted on by

Thailand is truly a splendid country to visit as there is much to discover, enjoy and experience. For those visiting its capital, the city of Bangkok, a good Bangkok city guide will note that there are several sites that are considered must visit attractions during a first visit, namely, the Grand Palace, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, The Temple of the Reclining Buddha and the iconic Temple of the Dawn also known as Wat Arun. Fortunately, these attractions can be visited by boarding the Chao Phraya River Boat. Others who wish to indulge in some retail therapy can opt for one of the numerous hotels located in the premier shopping district in Bangkok, such as Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel. As these hotels are located close to the BTS Line, tourists can avoid the roads and walk over to high-end malls such as Siam Paragon and Central World with ease.

However, when visiting other attractions in the city, the heavy traffic means that one can spend hours on the road. Therefore, hiring a bicycle may ease one’s concerns when exploring Bangkok. Cycling tours also provide a wonderful way to explore Thailand itself. For instance, Siam Bike Tours arrange cycling tours guided by Martin Brot to all parts of the country.

Some of the tour options include Chiang Mai to Ayutthaya or Goldenes Dreieck, Bangkok to Phuket and Phuket to Khao Sok to Phang Nga. One of the most intriguing, if not gruelling tours would be the Tour East Thailand, a cycling tour that begins in Bangkok and makes its way across the country, making stops at national parks such as Khao Yai National Park and concludes at Jomtien Beach. Inexperienced and slow riders are also welcome as the organisers group riders based on speed. Siam Bike Tours offers guaranteed tours as well and thus, interested patrons can sign up for a pre-arranged tour with ease.
