Itinerary

Day 1

The ride starts at the Kamalulislam mosque, the hub of the local muslim community, where the local people are direct descendants of the Thai southern Thai Muslims invited by King Rama III two-centuries ago to defend Bangkok from enemies seeking to infiltrate the capital using the Saen Saeb canal.

On this multi-religious ride you will have the chance to see how the women of this area combine for the good of the community in a co-operative, glimpse up-close the harmonious lifestyles of Thai families as you cycle along the canal. You will see fish forms, working rice mills, traditional Thai wooden house and an old medicine shop.

The tour includes a visit to the bizarre temple of Phurt Udom Pol, which amongst other things has a disused helicopter and very colourful stuccos. We ride along a small canal to the old market town of Nong Chock, where we stop to enjoy a delicious Thai lunch at a Buddhist temple. After lunch we trade bikes for boats and complete this journey with a river ride down the Saen Seab canal back to the mosque. This is a great way to rest those legs and take in the amazing activity along this stretch of water.

This is a rare chance to experience the Bangkok of old! In a multi-cultural, naturally beautiful part of Thailand that has not been overwhelmed by modern Bangkok, this is a great tour that should not be missed by anyone visiting Bangkok!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
