Jump into a tuk-tuk at Phra Sumeru Fortress at Santichiprakarn Park. Ride past Moon Road's busy amulet market and call in to see the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho. Browse the fabrics, ornaments, herbs and spices in Little India and the Thieves Market. Take a brisk walk up to the temple atop Golden Mount for 360-degree views out over Bangkok.

Bike guides are knowledgeable about the region and will explain the history, culture and local way of life at each stop. In the evening why not indulge in a relaxing Thai massage?
