Tour de Bang Saen Coastal Bike Tour

Tour Overview

This is a unique tour, not offered by any other tour company and takes you along a stretch of coastline which is free from foreigners and is a blend of traditional lifestyle with sustainable marine farming practices.

We spend the day cycling along the coast which has one of the largest mussel and oyster farms in the world. In addition we visit a mangrove forest which is home to a large colony of Red collared flying foxes, many coastal birds and peculiar fish such as the giant mudskipper.

This is an exciting ride with strange sites and happenings that really highlights the uniqueness of Thailand.

Detailed Itinerary

We start the adventure with an early morning pick up at your hotel and head south east out of Bangkok directly to Bang Saen beach from which we'll start our mission. It will be about an hour's travelling, so you have time to catch up on your sleep.

We start cycling for the first few kilometers along the quiet seafront promenade and beachfront walkway lined on both sides by palm trees as we make our way up to Khao Sam Muk – a peak named after a real life Romeo and Juliet story where the locals come to pay respect to these star-crossed lovers. This place is also home to a small troop of monkeys that roam around freely, much to the delight (and amusement) of everyone who comes here.

Continuing on for just a few kilometers we'll arrive at the absolutely breathtaking Na Ja Chinese shrine in Angsila. Moving on from Na Ja we'll pass through the local seafood market leading into a century old community who still practice the traditional way of oyster farming and also specialize in the craft of stone carving using granite.

We will stop for lunch along the way at a local restaurant where seafood will be the order of the day.

After lunch we continue onto the Mangrove Conservation centre where thousands of flying foxes have colonised the mangrove trees.

The remaining stretch is a relaxing ride on an elevated roadway with the ocean on the left and the local fishing port on the right. This is a popular stretch for the locals to come and unwind at the end of the day. You are welcome to cycle the full distance of this roadway (7km) or we can pack the bikes at any point along the way to end the tour.

Throughout the tour, our support van will trail us, so if at any point you want to take a break from the saddle, the van is right there.
