Our favorite way
to see a new place is by bike. There is
something about being on those two wheels – gliding from place to place – that
makes you feel so free. There is enough
time to look around and soak in the surroundings, but still get from place to
place rather quickly. You have the
ability to stop at the restaurant hidden in the trees on the side of the road,
or follow the music down the street and find the crowded local market, or snap
pictures of the coconut trees.
Before even setting
foot in Thailand, I made a reservation with Bangkok Biking. We spent the afternoon riding through country
fields, visiting temples and ruins, learning about a former leper colony,
watching local bakers, and tasting the Thai cuisine. We biked with people from around the world,
hearing their stories and sharing ours.
We had the best guide who not only gave us details on all the sites, but
spent his own money buying us treats so that we could get a taste of the real
Thailand.
Here is Chiang
Mai by bike.
