Why go, and how to do it well

Based in the Khlong San district near the Chao Phraya River, Must Try Bangkok Tours specializes in bicycle and food tours that take visitors away from the city's busiest tourist corridors and into the quieter, more residential streets of Thonburi. The focus is on local culture, hidden neighborhood spots, and authentic Thai food — offering a ground-level perspective of Bangkok that most travelers miss when sticking to major landmarks.

Tours are led by named local guides and are well-suited to a range of fitness levels, with routes described by visitors as almost entirely flat. Groups of varying sizes are accommodated, and the combination of cycling and eating makes for an immersive half-day experience. The Thonburi side of the river provides a noticeably slower pace than central Bangkok, with tree-lined lanes, community temples, and working neighborhoods that rarely appear on standard itineraries.

Reviews from Google

This bicycle tour was an amazing experience from start to finish. Riding around Thonburi gave me a completely different perspective of the city peaceful lanes, hidden local spots, and beautiful community life that you wouldn’t see otherwise. Exploring the local markets was a highlight. I got to try authentic street food, learn about local ingredients, and experience everyday life up close. Meeting new people along the way made the journey even more special everyone was warm and welcoming. The home-cooked meal was absolutely delicious and felt very personal, like being welcomed into someone’s home. It truly added a cultural and emotional touch to the whole experience. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see the real local side of Bangkok and create meaningful memories.

Incredible experience! This tour beat all of my expectations! It was so interesting and fun to explore the blend of local culture and food in the quiet neighbourhood of Bangkok. I would never visit these locations without this tour. We saw so many hidden gems and tried delicious food at some of the local spots. The tour was run extremely smoothly, the organizers were great guiding the group and a lot of fun to talk to. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who likes biking and wants to visit Bangkok!

The tour was absolutely fantastic. Well run by guides Chris and Mo. Had some of the most amazing Thai food. I highly recommend this tour to anyone capable of riding a bike, it's a safe an easy way to see the side streets of Bangkok. Only basic cycling skills are needed.
