🚲 Beyond the Concrete: The Original Co Van Kessel Bangkok Bicycle Tour
"See the Bangkok that cars can't reach. A journey through hidden alleys, vibrant markets, and the green heart of the city."
Founded by Dutch pioneer Co Van Kessel over 30 years ago, this is not just a bike ride—it’s a sensory exploration of Bangkok's "backyard." We take you away from the main roads and deep into the labyrinth of narrow lanes, local wooden houses, and hidden temples. Combined with a scenic boat ride across the Chao Phraya River, you’ll discover why Bangkok is still the "Venice of the East."
