Biking Bangkok to Angkor Wat

We meet in Bangkok and transfer to the coastal province of Rayong. After a beachside lunch we saddle-up and enjoy a warm-up ride to a gorgeous viewpoint overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. We then transfer to the historic town of Chanthaburi where we spend the night.

A 35 km ride through the Thai countryside brings us to the Cambodian border. After crossing we transfer to the city of Battambang, stopping at a hilltop temple and genocide memorial site along the way. We will also see millions of bats fly from a cave at dusk!

A broad cycling loop through Battambang’s lush countryside takes us to local houses crafting favorite snacks, an 11th-century Angkorian ruin, and the Samrong Knong Killing Field. We’ll also have some fun on the bamboo train and visit the Cambodian Peace Gallery.

We travel from Battambang to Siem Reap, with a boat cruise on the Sangker River and the Tonle Sap Lake if water levels permit. If not, we’ll transfer by vehicle and enjoy a sunset cruise near Siem Reap in the evening.

We discover the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor by bike, cycling on small paths that crisscross the ancient landscape. Visiting the most iconic sites today - Ta Prohm, Bayon and, of course, Angkor Wat – we’ll learn about the enigmatic history of the once-glorious Khmer Empire.

We cycle through the countryside surrounding Siem Reap, far away from the touring masses. Our destination is Banteay Srei, a pink-sandstone temple renowned for its intricate carvings.. After lunch, we transfer back to Siem Reap and enjoy the afternoon at leisure.

A final ride through the countryside takes us to the majestic 9th-century sandstone pyramid of Phnom Bakong. After a farewell lunch the tour ends in Siem Reap.
