Floating Market Cycle Trip on Bangkok Car Free Sunday

Cycling in Thailand is continuing to be a very popular pastime for both Thais and expats. In recent years, the number of cyclists on the roads has increased greatly. I often see people cycling along the roads at the weekend. I joined their ranks just over a year ago and I’m out cycling most weekends. You can either do this by yourself or join bicycle groups. Some are more serious than others. One I like to join is the Bangkok Car Free Sunday group who organize a tour in Bangkok about once a month. It is free to join though the tour guide usually only speaks Thai. Here is the information for this weekend:
