My wife and I visted Asia for the first time and did not know what to expect. We were in Bangkok for 3 days and went on the Absolute Explorer bicycle trip. We loved Bangkok but after 2 days in the city it was nice to see the back country of Thailand. We felt safe and would never have seen... more

I wanted to do something different from the standard tourist experiences and when i stumbled on this tour and saw it was rated number 1 i thought i was really on to something. The tour leader was very polite and did her best with what she had. The trip shows some beautiful rice fields, but thats bascially it, lots and... more

We took advantage of this unique bicycle tour in October. Although it was an interesting experience to view the everyday life of the locals, I felt it was over-rated. Definitely not the number one thing to do in the Bangkok area. We opted for the half day trip. It was a weekend and a holiday, so schools were not in... more

Am so glad I found out about this trip on tripadvisor! We are a family of two adults a 12 year old girl and cheeky 7 year old boy. There was another family of 5 in our group and a single chap, 10 of us in total plus two guides. We were offered the chance to split up into smaller... more

Definitely recommended, we had a great day. Visiting the school was a fantastic experience! Everytime you thought you were getting hot a cold water was at hand.. Everytime you thought you needed to wipe your brow there was a cold towelette. They really know how to keep you happy all day. I am not very fit and the biking was... more

Take the option of the full day bicycle tour. It's really worth it. Seeing a Thai village which we reached by a 1 hour train journey -(although the train did break down on our return) was a great experience for all of us, including the 11, 14 and 16 year old in my family group. The tour guides showed us... more

Not really knowing what to expect but liking what we read about a day with the Absolute Explorer team we signed up for a half days cycling around the country side an hour or so outside Bangkok. And wow what a fantastic time we had. Cycling in the Thai county side was absolutely brilliant. We saw rice fields, fish, shrimp... more

There’s a reason why Absolute Explorer is #1. This was definitely the best part of our Bangkok trip. Riding through the rice paddies and past all the beautiful tropical flowers gave us that Sound of Music moment where the von Trapps are frolicking throughout the countryside in curtain fabric while singing Do-Re-Mi. We did the full-day trip w/Panida, who is... more

It was our first time doing something like this and it won't be our last that's for sure. The whole day is well put together and the guides are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The day starts off with the minivan picking you up from your hotel before you meet your other fellow members in your group and the guides themselves.... more

My partner and I chose to do this after reading all the great reviews on Tripadvisor and we really weren't disappointed. I feel like I learnt more about the Thai way of live in this half day tour than I did the rest of the 2 weeks that I was in Thailand. Running late, we met Panida in the Bangkok... more
