Bangkok's 10 Biking Route !

[Bohzzkung]

I found this on Kinnaree magazine (May 2006) … BMA has launched ‘A handbook featuring ten cycling routes in Bangkok‘ portraying many sites of historical significance along the way for tourists enthusiastic about ecotourism. Cycling enthusiasts may obtain this useful handbook from Tourism Division, Culture Sports and Tourism Department, by calling 0-2225-7612.

Well, I managed to get one copy from the BMA Tourism Division. Ready Steady Go!

Seriously, a really safe and enjoyable bicycle ride is the route between Lumphini Park and the Queen Sirikit National convetion centre using the elevated walkway that connects the North East corner of Lumphini Park to Sukhumvit Soi 10.

You can enter the Queen S N C C through the Thai Tobacco Monopoly gates (turn right at the wooden bridge and right again when coming from Lumphini to enter the Tobacco M grounds, usually open).

There is a cycle lane around the QSNCC lake (a bit narrow so recommend buying a bell).

Cycling around Lumphini also seems tolerated most of the day but probably best not before 9.00 am when it is busy or in the late afternoon.

See you there tomorrow!
