ashacat Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hi, Me and the missus just bought new bikes and are looking to do some rides in and around Bangkok that don't involve busy roads etc. We are off to Ayutthya this weekend to have a mooch about and 2 weekends ago we went around that liitle 'island' in the ChaoPraya next to KlongToey port, which was nice... So is there a website that details good rides (bike!) around Bangkok or can anyone suggest any decent routes? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aureate Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 No other Bangkok cyclists? I love cycling, just not in Bangkok. I'm actually afraid to walk across the street let alone cycle on it I think you'll find lots of cycling enthusiasts outside the city. Don't cyclists often have clubs? Maybe you and the wifey can get in touch with one of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashacat Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks for the reply. Yeah we are already in the Bike Hash, I was just looking for some nice little trips a bit closer to home.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_hippo Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 No other Bangkok cyclists? I possibly missed your post as I was out cycling! How far do you normally ride in a day? What pace? How experienced are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashacat Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hi, Another trip near to Bangkok that I have been told about is the "Khao Kiew" outdoor zoo which is on the way to Pattaya. I have not been there myself yet, has anyone else? I am thinking of going this weekend..... Is it a good ride? Are the animals free to roam around or is it a crappy zoo with cages etc?.. Thanks!

coldfusionPaul Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) depends on where you live in bangkok & what kind of riding you want to do. i live in ramindra area & ride (road bike) north & east from there every saturday. trips along the north-south canals (khlongs 7-15) are pleasant enough & normally have very little traffic. khlong 11 from lum sai to #305 is pretty nice & has plenty of food places & a couple-three nice temples plus a golf course (rumored to have micro brewery, never verified). some of the roads along the canals aren't in the best condition for road bikes (khlong 7 north from lumlukka for instance) but are plenty fine for MTB. you can see some of my rides here: here Edited August 10, 2010 by coldfusionPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pampal Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I normally ride from Chinatown to Nonthaburi, trying to follow the River. Lot's of things to see on the way, but involves riding in traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
