"Bangkok, Thailand is one of the best place that you will not miss to visit if you're in Thailand. There are lots of nice and beautiful spots. Bangkok is rich with historical interests. And of course a great place to go shopping.

"The weather in Bangkok is almost always hot and humid. Despite the smoggyness, Bangkok is a bright and colorful city! I would suggest eating lots of local cuisine, and being adventurous with food. It’s very rewarding! But always be safe, as well. While we were in Bangkok, we were careful to only drink bottled water, just in case. In general, a good rule of thumb in Thailand is to be safe, but ready to try new things and have fun.

Fun cycling trip in Bnagkok, Thailand
"Thailand has been long time known as a country in Southeast Asia with warm hospitality, friendly Thai people and cultural richness to experience such as excellent foods, charming and exquisite Thai cooking, exciting Thai boxing, traditional Thai massage, Thai fun and exotic festivals, places rich in cultural aspects that become Thailand’s cultural attractions like temples, palaces, museums, houses and much more. More than these things are the rewarding abundance of natural resources, beautiful scenery, excellent food and accommodation. These things make Thailand a fantastic destination to explore by bicycle. There is a variety of cycling tour programs available to travelers to Thailand, who love biking and want to touch closely Thai people living, Thai houses and surroundings. This experience can make them very astonished. There are choices of biking trips throughout Thailand, in each region of this country. Biking trips in Thailand can range from cycling in cities, along canals, throughout villages, around historical sites, on biking national parks’ tracks, to beaches. Central region of Thailand, including Bangkok is one to recommend travelers who visit this metropolitan city with family, friends, or even on individual. There are a wide range of activities to do and places to see in Bangkok. Main districts of Bangkok include: - Sukhumvit: Sukhumvit is Bangkok's modern commercial center which is full of glitzy malls and hotels. - Silom: To the south of Sukhumvit is the area around Silom and Sathorn, which are today Bangkok's primary district for night party. - Rattanakosin: Between the Chao Praya River and Sukhumvit lies the Rattanakosin, the “Old Bangkok”, which is home to Bangkok’s best- known temples (wats), Chinatown named Yaowarat and sights worth to visit along the Chao Praya River. Moreover, in this part of Bangkok, there is the famous place at the northern part of Rattanakosin, where most travelers or backpackers to Bangkok meet to chat, drink and even make friends, and shop. That is Khao San Road. - Thonburi: This is the quieter west bank of the Chao Praya River with many small canals. Travelers can find some offbeat attractions and people living near canals, and of course, boats and ferries that are the main transport means for people’s traveling. - Phahonyothin: The area around Phahonyothin Road and Viphavadi Rangsit Road is best known for the Chatuchak Weekend Market and Don Muang Airport (one of Bangkok Airports, another one is Suvarnabhumi International Airport). In this part of Bangkok, travelers who want to do shopping are recommended to spend sometimes visiting Chatuchak Weekend Market, where you can find everything from small like clothes and accessories, paintings, plants and flowers to large like furniture, or even animals. Afternoon tea and café shops are open all day. - Ratchadaphisek: This district is northwards of Sukhumvit. The center of this district is around Ratchadaphisek Road, part of which is called Asoke. From this district you can reach Phetchaburi Road to Lat Phrao. Biking programs in Bangkok allow you to get closer to people living along canals, bustling markets. It is also fun to pedal your bike to explore places on Rattanakosin Island, which is the old charming part of Bangkok, where you can stop to visit the Grand Palace, temples like the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, museums, art exhibitions and galleries, theatres, shopping centers, bustling night markets, flowers markets, and boat piers to see how Thai city people travel from places to places across the Chao Phraya River (the River of King), the main blood of Thai life. Biking tour in Bangkok can be in group or individual. If you ride alone, you know that you may need some information about riding rules, guide book, or even some useful brochures about how to travel and getting around in Bangkok city. There are plenty of travel information counters, including tourist information centers throughout this metropolitan, especially in Bangkok downtown. If you come to Thailand and stop in Bangkok, and if you love biking, find sometimes to take a biking trip to must- see destinations in Bangkok. You will find that Bangkok gives you much more than a feeling of big and bustling city of traffic jam and skyscraper buildings, but a discovery of urban lifestyle, in between old charming traditions and modernity. You can experience cycling trips in this part of Thailand not only within Bangkok city, but also at Ayutthaya Historical Site, or drive to Kanchanaburi, westwards of Bangkok for biking trips to visit Kanchanaburi’ s main attractions, national parks, dams and jungles. For me, it was a great time to experience biking in central Thailand from Bangkok to the green destinations like Kanchanaburi, with Exotissimo Travel. All cycling guides of Exotissimo are the expert guides with local knowledge and experience. Exotissimo can make your cycling adventure trip a part of your life that you will re-tell about for many years. If you get interested in trying a cycling trip in Thailand, soft and difficult (adventure) levels, I recommend Exotissimo. They are quite professional and reliable. They can tailor make your trip upon your request and preferences, one day or more, with a combination of activities and destinations, with a provision of guides who accompany with you during trips. For cycling tour, their guides can perform as both cultural guide and bike mechanic, and vehicles to support you.

"I was in Thailand for a total of 2 weeks and spent 3 days in Bangkok doing alot of things, but one of them that was a great experience was getting myself a tailored suit! Little did i know that my tailor would surpass all my expectations, but yes, thats what I found out, Mr Sam of Crown Tailors made 3 suits for me which all fit me to perfection! I am now proud to own such nice suits and have no fear in applying for a new job when I get back home.
