What makes the Twilight Sunset bike tour special compared to other Bangkok tours?

The Twilight Sunset tour is uniquely timed to capture Bangkok's golden hour. You'll cycle to the Golden Mountain temple – the highest viewpoint in Bangkok – to watch the sun set over the Chao Phraya river as the sky transforms from pale yellow to bright orange. The tour also includes a visit to Wat Prayun, a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Conservation Award winner, and crosses the river via the stunning Sky Garden bridge.

What temples will I see on the Twilight Sunset cycling tour?

You'll pass Thailand's two most famous temples – the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the Temple of the Reclining Buddha – as you cycle through Sanam Luang. The tour includes an in-depth visit to Wat Prayun, which won the UNESCO Cultural Heritage Conservation Award of Excellence in 2013. The highlight is climbing to the top of the Golden Mountain temple for panoramic sunset views over Bangkok.

How difficult is the Twilight Sunset bike tour and what is included?

This is an easy-level tour suitable for all ages and fitness levels. The route covers approximately 11km over 3 hours on flat, safe roads. The 1,600 THB price includes a professional local English-speaking guide, comfortable mountain bike, helmet, bottled water, snacks, insurance, and all temple entrance fees. A 500 THB deposit confirms your reservation, with the remainder payable in cash on the tour day.

What time does the Twilight Sunset tour start and where do we meet?

The tour departs at 3:00 PM from Just Nok New Office in Bangkok. We recommend arriving 15 minutes early for bike fitting and safety briefing. The timing is carefully planned so you reach the Golden Mountain temple just before sunset to capture the best views. After the tour, you'll return to the office with plenty of time to enjoy Bangkok's nightlife.

Twilight Sunset Bangkok Bike Tour

Tour Overview

Sunsets in Bangkok can be breathtakingly beautiful and even more so when viewed from an equally magical vantage point.

The Twilight Sunset ride is a late afternoon half-day Bangkok bike tour that will take you along some of the hidden alleyways of Bangkok, through secret communities and hidden temples ending at the highest temple in Bangkok to view the sunset over the City of Angels.

See Bangkok in its homeward drive from safe and carefully planned routes where each turn will leave you in amazement and wonder as we carefully cycle through new and old parts of the city to learn about its colourful history, partake in cultural practices and sample some of the famous tasty snacks on offer.

Just before sunset, we'll climb to the top of the Golden Mountain to see the last rays of sunlight light up the western bank of the Chao Phraya river with the sky changing slowly from pale yellow to bright orange as the sun quietly slips behind the horizon.

Detailed Itinerary

We meet at 3:00 PM at Just Nok New Office, for a quick bike fitting and safety briefing before heading out for the late afternoon ride.

We start with a leisurely ride next to the Royal Plowing field commonly referred to as Sanam Luang, as we slowly make our way to the Chao Phraya river. Along the way we'll pass the two most famous temples in all of Thailand – The Temple of the Emerald Buddha and The Temple of the Reclining Buddha.

We'll cross the mighty Chao Phraya river over the Memorial bridge as we make our way to Wat Prayun. This temple is special as it received the UNESCO Cultural Heritage Conservation Award of Excellence in 2013. Your guide will elaborate further on this once you are there and take you into the main chedi to see the amazing construction which was implemented to prevent this historical structure from collapsing.

After Wat Prayun, we again cross the Chao Phraya river – this time using the Sky Garden. After a short stop here we'll continue along the picturesque alley next to the 2nd canal. Here we'll stop for a short snack break.

A short ride further will take us through some interesting hidden alleyways before reaching the Golden Mountain temple. We'll spend some time at this temple to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the surroundings as well as view the sunset.

From here we slowly make our way back to Just Nok office, where we should arrive with plenty of time for you to still enjoy the nightlife of Bangkok.
