Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

From the historic Wat Arun district on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, "The Other Side of Bangkok" offers guided bicycle tours that take visitors off the beaten tourist track. The tours explore Bangkok's lesser-known neighborhoods, weaving together urban history, local culture, and everyday life in a way rarely achieved on walking tours or tuk-tuk rides. The guide team—including Jay, Peach, Khan, and Amy—is consistently praised by visitors for their expertise, friendly manner, and attentiveness.

The tours are ideal for a wide range of travelers, including families with young children, as the pace is pleasant and varied. Visitors can expect a blend of sightseeing, culinary delights, and authentic insights into Thai culture and history. The tour guides are distinguished by their excellent English skills and their ability to adapt flexibly to the needs of the group – whether couples, families with teenagers, or solo travelers.

The tours run daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. To avoid the worst of the heat in Bangkok, booking for early morning is recommended. As the tour takes place outdoors and involves physical exertion, light and breathable clothing is strongly advised. Advance booking via the official website othersideofbangkok.com is recommended, especially for families or larger groups who may have special requests.
