Tour Briefing :
The tour combines two of the best natural trails southwest and west of Bangkok, Samut Songkhram and Kanchanaburi. You cycle along the fruit orchards, canals, temples, schools, and the historic River Kwai Bridge, and observe the Death Railway from World War II. This route abounds in scenic beauty characterized by several waterfalls, wondrous caves, national parks, and tranquil riverside and reservoir settings, making a challenging route for cyclists.

Route Details :
Transfer by van to Samut Songkhram in the early morning. The tour takes you through Amphawa District of Samut Songkhram, the smallest province in Thailand, known since the Ayutthaya Period as the outer garden of the capital. Fruit orchards line the canals and the main river. There are elevated walkways, about one and a half meters wide, ideal for cycling, with the fruit trees and waterways on a lower level. The pleasant and shady trail takes cyclists past typical Thai houses, temples, and agricultural villages to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market to observe and participate in the delightful water-borne bazaar. Ride further to a cozy riverside restaurant to enjoy a wholesome Amphawa lunch. Having seen the Mae Klong River, you can trace the origin of the river by traveling on a van westwards to Kanchanaburi, the largest of the central provinces and the third lardest of the country, to visit the world famous Bridge over the River Kwai and the war museums before taking a deserved rest on the riverbank. Next morning, after breakfast, travel by boat for 20 minutes before transferring to a van to Thong Pha Phum District, close to the Hell Fire Pass Museum, before taking a boat across the river and continue cycling through the teak forest back to the accommodation. Early next morning continue riding through the agricultural villages and the teak forest along the Death Railway to Krasae Cave. After lunch, travel by van back to Bangkok, stopping in Nakhon Pathom to see the Phra Pathom Chedi, the tallest pagoda in the world.
