Itinerary

Duration: 3 hours (approximately)
  • Talad Plu Market (Pass by)

    As you cycle through Bangkok’s hidden neighborhoods, we'll bike into Talad Phlu, a lively and culturally rich area known for its street food, Thai-Chinese heritage, and authentic community life. It’s a local favorite — not yet touched by mass tourism — and a real highlight of your journey. What You’ll See and Do: • Ride Through Historic Streets Cycle along narrow roads lined with colorful Sino-Thai shophouses, old tea shops, and faded facades that echo the past. It’s like riding through a living museum of Bangkok’s Chinese-Thai culture. • Experience Real Local Life This isn’t a curated market for tourists — it’s real life: locals shopping, elders chatting on stools, and families working in generations-old shops. Talad Phlu captures the heart of Bangkok — a flavorful blend of history, culture, and street life that you’ll experience up close from your bike seat.

    Wat Khun Chan

    During your Candbike journey through Bangkok’s hidden backstreets, one of the most striking and unexpected stops is Wat Khun Chan, a vibrant riverside temple in the Thonburi district. What You’ll See and Do: • Admire Giant Buddha Statues Be awed by the enormous seated Buddha towering above the temple grounds. These statues are not polished tourist sights — they’re raw, colorful, and deeply local in style, giving you a sense of authentic Thai spirituality. • Hear Cultural Context from Your Guide Your local guide will explain the temple’s role in the community, the symbolism of the statues, and how Wat Khun Chan reflects the character of old Thonburi — spiritual, artistic, and deeply rooted. • Photography Stop This is one of the most photogenic stops on the ride — vibrant colors, reflections on the water, and towering Buddhas make for truly memorable images.

  • Wat Nak Prok (Pass by)

    As you explore the quiet neighborhoods of Thonburi by bike, we'll bike passed at the serene and lesser-known Wat Nak Prok — a beautiful temple that blends Thai and Chinese architecture, offering a calm and reflective moment during your urban adventure. Wat Nak Prok is a spiritual hidden gem, giving you a moment of connection to Bangkok’s religious roots and the quiet rhythm of local temple life.

  • Wutthakat (Pass by)

    As part of your cycling journey, you’ll pass through the peaceful, tree-lined neighborhood of Wutthakat — a lesser-known area that perfectly captures the charm of everyday Bangkok life. This stop offers a refreshing change of pace and a deeper connection to the city’s hidden side. What You’ll See and Do: • Cycle Through Calm, Local Streets Pedal along quiet backroads where you’ll see small wooden houses, local shrines, family-run shops, and glimpses of canal-side life — untouched by tourism. • Observe Authentic Thai Daily Life Watch residents tending gardens, sweeping their porches, or preparing food. It’s a relaxed, residential area where you’ll truly feel like a guest in someone’s neighborhood. • See the Contrast of Old and New Wutthakat is where old-style Bangkok meets gentle urban development — modern condos rising next to old wooden bridges Wutthakat may not be in the guidebooks, but it’s a real-life portrait of local Bangkok — friendly, quiet, and full of soul.
