Your driver will pick you up from your hotel and bring you to the central meeting point near the Chao Phraya River where your bike will be adjusted for a comfortable ride. The bicycle tour is a gentle pedaling tour, at a recreational pace, with plenty of stops included.
The tour usually starts with a local ferry crossing from the Bangkok side to the Thonburi side.
