Route Details :
The 4-day/3-night trip is through the historical and cultural areas in the neighborhood of Bangkok, letting cyclists feel the heart of past and present Thai life. Starting in Samut Songkhram, cyclists can pedal their way through rich agricultural areas full of typical Thai rural communities, temples, coconut groves, and fruit orchards to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, a traditional water-borne bazaar on the Mae Klong River. This site is a meeting point for agriculturists in Ratchaburi, Samut Sakhon, and Samut Songkhram. Enjoy Amphawa delicacies and a cruise along the Amphawa Canal and the Mae Klong River with an overnight stay in Samut Songkhram. Next morning, take a ride on back roads along Damnoen Saduak Canal past rural villages, temples, elephant camps, and fruit orchards to Nakhon Pathom, the site of the great pagoda, Phra Pathom Chedi, a major landmark of the country. Nakhon Pathom is also famous for distinctive delectable dishes. From here travel by van to Kanchanaburi with a stopover at the Tiger Temple, a forest monastery where wild animals roam freely. After a pleasant stay on the River Kwai, take a ride along the River Kwai, past elephant camps, teak forests and agricultural villages to Sai Yok District. Travel by van to visit the world famous Bridge over the River Kwai, and then travel further to Ayutthaya, the former royal capital of 417 years and a World Heritage site. The ruins of Ayutthaya Historical Park are a sight not to be missed. Following a deserved rest at a riverside resort, take a ride through the Historical Park, visiting the Ancient Palace, Wat Phra Si Sanphet, an example of a typical Thai house at Khun Phaen's Residence, and Wat Phra Men. Then explore by back roads and alleys some of the countryside around Ayutthaya, such as the Khlong Sa Bua Community, formerly a pottery producing site. Don't forget Wat Choeng Tha on the Lop Buri River where King Taksin the Great once studied. Then you're ready to catch the van back to Bangkok.
