Bangkok is an amazing city. So amazing that it can be a bit overwhelming to explore the city on your own the first few days. The best way to explore Bangkok is by going on a bike tour through Bangkok. Cycling on a path through a lush green palm plantation does not sound bad right? You will experience a real off-the-beaten-path Bangkok tour.
