Bangkok Escape: Jungle Bike Tour In Bang Krachao

I think this has been the most meaningful and enjoyable trip for my kid and me in Bangkok. It was not only because of the island scenery and pleasant cycling routes, but more importantly, our guide Ms.Mas gave us an upscale, tailor-made experience just like a luxury private tour. It was absolutely worth every penny. Apart from cycling, we enjoyed a variety of activities: having snacks, observing plants and birds, and feeding fish. My son whispered to me that he wants to come back to this place on our next visit to Bangkok.

This is a great tour is you want to get in some actual bicycle riding. It's about a 20km circuit around a protected jungle island sanctuary over roads, lanes, and narrow elevated paths. The island itself is a marvel of native temples, wildlife and flora. My guide, Oliver, was attentive, informative and friendly and, as it turned out, my personal tour guide as I was the only participant on my particular day. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you're into bike riding, but I want to stress that although it is a 20km or so tour, it is a leisurely ride. I would not recommend this tour if your balance is shaky while riding a bike. Overall, a great tour, and well worth the price.

The experience worth it. You can make a break from the busy city center. Lot of nature to watch (including Varans). Guide makes it really authentic

That was super nice to ride the bicycle and learn alot on that culture! Riding through farms give a good idea of the life of the inhabitants. Oliver was a fantastic gude !

This was a fantastic half day trip. It was good to get away from busy city life to cycle in the greenery. I'll definitely do this again on my next trip.

Very nice spent day, guide speaks good English very easy pleasure riding well worth it, many small paths and streets market visit park with fish pond.. very nice away from busy Bangkok streets.

This experience was a highlight of my trip! Our guide, "Tee", packed an impressive amount of interesting sites and experiences into just four hours. And yet, the pace felt comfortable and relaxed. I appreciated the focus on natural history interpretation and riding around through greenery.

Great biking tour with a very knoledgble Oliver who showed us an unespected part of Bangkok ! The induist temple is simply amazing !

Great bike tour with guide Tee who shared his passion for his country and culture, food and wildlife. We enjoyed a nice paced tour with lot of different impressions and experiences. Quiet and peaceful green island in the middle of Bangkok felt like a little oasis.

Fantastic tour guide, great story teller, very informative and fun! Cycling route is mostly flat and not busy. Nice food tasting.

A very nice experience, I had a lot of fun. The landscape is so great. I enjoyed everything while driving. Above all, the tour guide is very professional, very friendly and nice. I would recommend it to my friends and acquaintances. Thank you very much.

Ik was de enige persoon voor deze tour en mijn gids Tea was amazing he showed me his old neighborhood and was a very good companion to share stories with

Great experience! Now a big sticky rice and mango fan now :)..our guide Mama (I hope that’s her name) was excellent, knowledgeable, extremely friendly and helpful…taking in a stunning natural environment so close to the city…highly recommend, add this onto your itinerary

I loved it and had a great time. It was really nice to get out of the city and go on a cycle. The guide was really friendly. The cycle wasn't too strenuous but there were some narrow sections.

Fabulous bike tour -- first by canoe -- of the island! Great guide. Terrific! One of the things you MUST do in Bangkok! Also great exercise!

The bikes were comfortable, the service great, the ride was fun but the water pollution was sad to see....

We had a great morning with Vee we were the only ones on the tour, so was great, he was very informative, was a nice easy bike ride.

Absolutely fabulous day. Quiet and peaceful with a fantastic guide who wasn't only friendly but funny. It was great to be able to stop off at the market and a few stops along to attend to nature's calling!! Highly recommended

A Lovely cycle ride with a great guide Peter in the green garden of Bangkok. A fun day out for both of us

Beautiful view with memorable moments. It was a little hot and humid, but the cool breeze and beautiful view in between made me forget them. The Thai market and milking fish will remain as interesting memories.

Amazing getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Very adventurous bike ride on narrow paths. Our guide Peter was extremely friendly and attentive. There was not shortage of water and snacks on the tour! Stopping by the markets gave us a good look into the local life of those who live on the "Green Lung" of Bangkok. Highly recommend jumping on this tour.

Our 3 years old and us booked this for our first day in Bangkok, and honestly I think that it was the best thing to do for a great start in our trip! Our guide Teddy (I hope I got the name correct!) was just very caring and friendly and always smiling and with lots of knowledge and secrets to share! Highly advisable to do this tour, great places to see! In fact, we might do it again during the next days of our stay!

Came back for the jungle tour. First tour was the city tour. Experienced guides, they remember you after a couple of years! Very homey and friendly. Bring your sunscreen and mosquito repellant. You’ll need to anticipate cycling narrow lanes and main roads. If you are not comfortable with narrow lanes, please let the guides know. They have alternate routes. Do take note that the jungle tour is better suited for experienced cyclists.

We did the jungle bike tour. It's a great way to get out of the city and explore the nature as well as experience in a genuine way life on the country side. Teddy, our tour guide, was personable and knowledgeable. He took the time to answer all of our questions (and my 10-year old boy had way too many) and he also took many great pictures for us on his camera, which he emailed to us after the tour. The first 15 minutes riding in busy Bangkok streets could be adventurous, but Teddy was very attentive leading us negotiating the traffic. Once we got out of the city, it was all leisure. Their bikes are better models than the other bike tour company we tried before. After the tour, we even got a free fish foot bath. This was a well organized tour and my son and I had a great time.

A must to try, you dont know Bangkok this way, a nice day - see bangkok in at different way, nice guides and rare places, not the ones you find yourself

The day I spent on this bike tour was one of my favorite days in Bangkok. The guide was incredible. The bike ride was such a great adventure. I learned so much about Thai history. He took me to a market where I tried local delicacies that I loved. I did this tour by myself and it was fantastic.

We had an excellent day out, but the weather was extremely hot the day we did it and by the time we got back we were exhausted. Our Guide Teddy was awesome and spoke very good English. You do need some bike skills as some of the areas are quite tight to get through.

We had an amazing time. The route was a little more stressful than we imagined as Bangkok drivers get much closer to bikes than we are used to. Peter was a lot of fun as a guide and took care of us. We saw all angles of the city and went to places we surely would not have gone if we hadn't done this tour. The ride had no elevation changes and was not strenuous but it requires some confidence on the bike to deal with traffic and some narrow paths. Several hours of biking in the heat and humidity tired us out but we all went back to the hotel with smiles and good stories of our adventure. Peter kept plenty of water and local snacks to fuel us. As we went on Sunday, we were able to stop at a local market and see how locals enjoy a market; no tourists in sight. Highly recommended if you are up for adventure.

The tour was great and guide was friendly, but a few things they could improve on for next time: 1. our guide took lots of photos so we didn’t take many, and we were promised them the next morning by email but never received them. 2. Similar tours in places like Bali were 1/4 of the price, 3. My main concern: For an “eco friendly” bike tour they were not supporting “eco friendly” ways, because they provide you with plastic bottles of water countless times, and when stopping to sample fruits at stands they keep serving them in plastic bags for us to eat in front of the street vendors. So we felt a little betrayed by their eco friendly marketing. We would love to visit again to support them once this issue is addressed.

Great tour, did this as we aren't really fans of big cities so this allowed us to see bangkok but also be active and get out of the touristy areas. The office is quite hard to find but googlemaps helped! I'm not the most confident at cycling on main roads but felt completely safe and negotiating the thin jungle platforms was also not as scary as I thought from reading other reviews. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend, added bonus if being sent photos.

We had a great time during our bike tour. Bikes are very nice and in good condition. Our guide Ar guided us safely through the busy BKK traffic, through the small backstreets and along the jungle paths, while taking pictures and giving us lots of information along the way. Well recommended!

This was a unique and memorable bike ride. Saw parts of Bangkok that tourists do not see: local's homes and shops, slums, green space, long boats. Easy riding (flat), but it was quite hot. We stopped for drinks and later for a coffee in an air conditioned cafe. Guide's English was good and he explained our surroundings well.

Loved every second of this tour . The guide "Ar" was friendly and informative. The route was a real eyeopener . The group were a very pleasant lot . It isn't a very strenuous day out thankfully and it felt like you had left the city miles and miles away.

My wife and I wanted to see Bangkok from a different prospective. This tour gave us that and a lot more. our guide (Ah) was great.

This tour was very memorable, our host Teo was very knowledgeable and fun. The tour allowed us to see the areas in Bangkok were the people have a little and a lot. The ‘green lung’ was beautiful and a peaceful change to the hustle of Bangkok. It’s not for the faint hearted as there are some cross country and cross highway moments. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone traveling to Bangkok.

The meeting location is not easy to find even with the map provided, could do with more signposting in close proximity to the site. Otherwise, the guide was very good (can’t remember his name, was a few weeks ago!) and was very helpful. He was able to talk confidently about the areas we visited and bought some local ‘delicacies’ for us to try whilst we were at the floating market (that’s not technically floating anymore; it’s simply a collection of markets next to the water where boats can travel down to see the markets however they don’t trade onto the boats now apparently... pleased we saw this as part of another tour and didn’t book separately!) The bikes were comfortable, and although there is a short ‘hairy’ journey on the roads through Bangkok, it’s easy cycling. Recommend you wear the helmet provided for this reason! The fish foot spa and ice cream at the end is also a nice touch! Overall, great tour, recommended.

Great way to see the "green lung" of the city. Our tour guide was patient and carefully navigated us through the streets of Bangkok. Such a lovely way to see the city through different eyes

We loved this tour, and was nice to get out of the city for biking too, because the city is quite hectic and it was lovely to explore the lush greenery and ruralness in the Green Lung area. To get there you first cycle about 20 mins through the city, and see some of the very poor parts too (which is quite interesting and eye-opening), from where you catch a 10 minute boat ride across the huge river on a long-tail boat .. this was very fun and a nice addition to bicycling. Then once we got to the Green Lung area it was all fun bicycling again, and Teddy showed us the Floating Market which was an experience and he kindly bought us some delicious Thai desserts and snacks to try from some of the stalls. We especially loved the REAL coconut milk ice-cream .. the best and most authentic coconut ice-cream I've ever tasted. Try the toppings too, such as the green jellies and peanuts! Please note the Floating Market is only open on the weekends and public holidays, so try book this tour then! From there we cycled through the tree tops on some man made structures which was super fun, something I've never experienced before ... if you're a bit of a novice on a bicycle or nervous you can opt to push your bicycle here. From there it was onto the national park which was more cycling through lovely surroundings as well as some other fun things that Teddy showed us. This tour was less about seeing a whole bunch of landmarks as you might do in the city, and more about appreciating the sights and activities. Having said that Teddy did give us some nice background information and was always happy to answer questions. English isn't widely spoken in Thailand, but Teddy was quite fluent. He was also friendly and had a pleasant demeanor. He also snapped many photos of us, sometimes sneakily, and sometimes where we posed. These were emailed to us after tour. Thanks Teddy!

Just finished a fantastic day with Khun AHHHHH exploring the rain forest right outside of Bangkok. Met in the morning with Khun Ah and the other guests on the trip who ended up being super friendly and on their last day in Thailand. The weather started with rain but ended up beautifully cool with an AQI of 33!!! Unheard of in April. We took off through the back streets to the river and hauled our bikes and ourselves onto a long-tailed boat across to the jungle. Spent the day breathing the fresh air and exploring miles of elevated trails through this amazing part of the country so close to Bangkok. Khun Ah took us to a market where we sampled an array of tasty street-food, squid eggs anyone? There was plenty of time for pictures and sightseeing and ultimately the day ended way faster than we wanted. Back at the meeting point they have a fish tank to soak tired feed, and the fish provide a little extra "massage". We had an excellent day, well worth the money and highly recommend Khun Ah and the bike tour through the jungle. Nicely done!

Absolutely amazing tour with one of the best guides in the business…. My whole family loved the morning out with such a great bunch of people and the best guide we've ever experienced. If you want to escape from the busy hectic life of Bangkok then this tour is what you need…. Highly recommended - the other tour companies just cancel on you… Thank you "Follow me Tours"

<p>A amazing tour! One of my best experiences in my travel through south east Asia.</p>

<p>A great wY to see art of Bangkok you would not normally see. Good friendly and helpful guide! A real must do!</p>

<p>Great Tour thru the back ways of this buzzling City.. lots of fun with our guide, he had great knowledge and shared a lot of interesting sights with us.. would do it again any time.. thanks a lot.. Gabi and Michael Trebur / Germany</p>

Cozy bike ride through the "lungs" of Bangkok. Nice company from fellow travelers. Rode a lot of cycling but also a lot of talking. Beautiful narrow streets.

It was so much fun to cycle in such a natural, quiet and healing space, 3 minutes by boat from Bangkok. Also, the guide, Kan, was friendly and attentive, and my daughter was very satisfied.

Luckily, we had a guide for us , my wife and me alone. We drove away from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok through the outskirts or the rainforest. The paths were good to drive, sometimes a bit narrow and on walkways without railings. You should already be a safe cyclist. But it certainly adapts to the driving ability of its guests. The tour with Oliver was very nice.

Nice bike trip in both Bangkok and on the small island located in the Chao Phraya river. Teddy was a great guide and stopped several times to let us taste local delicacies, fruit etc. We drove through several neighborhoods, parks and visited a floating market which is no longer floating :-) We had a really nice day, and ended with fishing-spa when we came back to the office.

We greatly enjoyed this afternoon discovering another face of Bangkok. By bike, both in the city and in nature on this beautiful island of greenery so close to the city. A very nice small group walk accompanied by our friendly guide. You have to master your bike but the ride is not tiring. It's really fun. Thank you for passing us several photos taken by our guide. The organization of the tour is at the Top and the Mood very nice and relaxed.

A pleasant surprise this excursion, of the best we did and saw in Bangkok. It is already an adventure to leave the center of Bangkok with the chaotic circulatory chaos. Visiting neighborhoods that give you another insight into the life of this large city, crossing the river in a kind of motorized canoe, entering the jungle with its vegetation. The guide very nice with an acceptable English and when you return after four hours, a relaxing aquatic foot massage with fruit and ice cream. They also send you the photos that the guide is taking by mail, all a detail. Of course, better if you print how to get to the starting point since it is a little difficult to get only with the typical general map
