Bangkok Bike Tour: Chinatown, Flower Market & Turtle Feeding
Description
Discover a side of Bangkok that many visitors never see on a small-group bike tour through historic neighbourhoods, bustling markets, and riverside communities. Explore the hidden backstreets of Talat Noi, soak up the atmosphere of Chinatown, and cycle through Bangkok’s famous flower market before crossing into historic Thonburi. Unlike many city tours that focus only on major landmarks, this experience combines local life, cultural heritage, and unique encounters, including feeding turtles at a centuries-old riverside temple. With a maximum of 8 guests, an English-speaking local guide, and a relaxed, mostly flat route, you’ll enjoy a more personal and authentic introduction to Bangkok. Along the way, enjoy local snacks and let your guide capture the experience, with all photos shared after the tour.

He was very informative of the history and culture of Thailand and Bangkok. The stops along the way are great and a good variety. Overall great value for money and a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend if your looking for a tour in Bangkok.

We had an amazing time on the Chinatown, Flower Market & Turtle Feeding tour. As a family of five with three teenagers, it was a fun and unique way to explore Bangkok. The ride was safe, easy and enjoyable, taking us through historic parts of the city, including a visit to the largest indoor Buddha. Feeding the turtles and wandering through the flower market were highlights. Sugar was a fantastic guide, full of knowledge and clearly passionate about Bangkok. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to see you again soon! Best wishes, Follow Me Bike Tours Team
Forget the Big Names – This is the Best Personal Bike Tour in Bangkok! After experiencing several bike tours with the well-known companies in Bangkok, I decided to try something different this time and booked with Follow Me Bike Tours. It was the best decision I could have made! Seamless Experience From the start, the booking process via their clear and user-friendly website was a breeze. But the real magic started when we met our guide, Sugar. Sugar: The Ultimate Guide Sugar is not just a guide; he is a fountain of knowledge with a fantastic sense of humor. He even knows quite a few Dutch words, which added a very personal and fun touch to the trip. His passion for the city and its people is infectious. The Route: Hotspots & Hidden Gems While we visited the must-see spots like Chinatown and the vibrant Flower Market, Sugar also led us through tiny alleys and stunning temples that I had never seen before—even after multiple trips to Bangkok. He teaches you about the local customs and daily life in a way that feels authentic and deeply insightful. Personal Service Over Mass Tourism The absolute highlight for me was the small group size. Unlike other tours where you cycle in a "snake" of 10 or more people, we were in a group of only two(!). This felt like a VIP service. The personal attention, the pace, and the overall care were top-notch. Even the food and drinks provided along the way were perfectly arranged and delicious. Verdict Follow Me Bike Tours offers incredible value for money. If you want a tour that feels like a personal adventure rather than a tourist conveyor belt, look no further. Sugar, you are the best! Thank you for an unforgettable day. PS: The next days I received all the pics Sugar made of us via a We transfer, that is service with a capital S!
Hello Rutger Thank you so much for this awesome review, it really made our day! So happy to hear you had such a great time with Sugar. He’s going to love reading this! Thanks again for riding with us, and we’d love to have you back for another adventure! Best wishes from the Follow Me Team
The bike ride was great despite high temperatures. The guide Sugar showed us many small authentic corners of Bangkok and we had a lot of fun. Thanks, Sugar. Also for all the beautiful photos and the fantastic food. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Thank you for your review, all the best from the Follow Me Team
My family of 5 (3 teenagers) really enjoyed our half-day guided cycle ride round the back streets of Bangkok. We cycled through narrow alleys and residential areas, visited a couple of Buddhist temples, stopped a few times in market areas, sampled Thai sweet snacks & enjoyed a cold drink near Santa Cruz church in the Portuguese area. We all agreed it was a great experience made memorable by our guide Mai who answered our numerous questions. Please note, We are all cyclists which helped- inexperienced visitors may find the narrow alleys a challenge as well as getting your bike in & off the ferry.
Hello, thank you so much for a great review, we much appreciate it! We hope to see you again on your next visit Bangkok. Best wishes from the Follow Me Team

Highlight of our time in Bangkok. Despite the hustle and bustle of Bangkok we were able to find quite back lanes in old Chinatown to ride along. Tea, our guide was excellent. He is clearly passionate about the city. Thank you.
