Candbike Bangkok Tours
373/1 Soi Somdet Phra Chao Tak Sin 8, Bukkhalo, Thon Buri, Bangkok 10600
Book the morning departure. The backstreet sois are cooler before noon, and the canal-side morning markets are the real draw. These are guides from Thonburi itself, not expats reading from scripts, so the detours and extended stops follow what actually matters in the neighbourhood. Start with the three-hour backstreets ride if you have only one slot; it's the core experience.
You meet near BTS Pho Nimit and ride into the Thonburi grid within five minutes. The routes here are flat canal paths and temple yards, market sois where the pavement narrows to single file. Guides are all locals from Thonburi, and the pace stays easy enough for any fitness level or age.
Three tour options run daily. The Real Bangkok Bike Tour is the three-hour core ride departing at 9am or 2pm for ฿750 per person, covering backstreets, neighborhood temples, and hidden markets away from the main tourist routes. The Full Bangkok tour adds a longtail boat leg and street-food stops across four hours for ฿2,150, with 8am and 1pm departures. The Night Bike Tour leaves at 6pm for ฿1,250 and trades daylight market energy for lit temple grounds and cooler air. Private group bookings run at ฿6,000 for your own pace and flexible routing. Child seats and small-frame bikes are available if you book with ages in advance. The company keeps groups small, runs year-round including the May-June rainy season, and provides ponchos when needed.
Arrive fifteen minutes before your start time for bike fitting and the safety briefing. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. No charge.
The routes are not scripted. Guides follow their own neighborhood knowledge and adjust for what you respond to, so the same tour code can detour through different temple compounds or extend a market stop if you are asking questions.
