This trip was the perfect balance. I’d always been curious about Thailand but I wasn’t looking for a beach holiday. I wanted a deeper connection, something that would help me understand the soul of the country. Thailand Odyssey delivered that and more.
What stood out to me most was how thoughtful the experience felt. Nothing was overdone or overly “touristy.” Whether we were visiting temples, walking through old ruins, or floating past boats stacked with mangoes and steaming dumplings, it all felt genuine and grounded in place.
The pace was just right. I never felt rushed and yet we saw and experienced so much. Some moments were vibrant and full of life, like drifting through the floating market or sharing meals at small, local spots. Others were more contemplative like taking in the quiet beauty of ancient temples or riding the train past green hills with history hanging in the air.
Traveling in a little group made a real difference. We had enough time and space to connect with each other but also room for quiet reflection. The accommodations were comfortable, the meals were memorable (I’m still thinking about that green curry), and the logistics were smooth from start to finish.
This isn’t a flashy tour. It’s not about luxury or checking off Instagram shots. It’s about slowing down, absorbing your surroundings, and returning home with stories that linger. If that sounds like your kind of travel, I can’t recommend it enough.

Colors of Bangkok is a popular half-day cycling tour in Bangkok. Enjoy pedaling through narrow streets and backyards, visit Wat Bang Krasop temple and Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park, enjoy delicious Thai meal and explore Bang Krachao “the green lung of Bangkok”.
Your tour begins as you cross the Chao Praya River on a ferryboat. While standing on the riverbanks of the Chao Praya River, the many loops running in and out the Bhumibol Bridges I & II at 40 m is sure to impress you. Once you reach the other side of the river, you will find yourself in Bangkrachao sub-district, also called “The Green Lung of Bangkok” or “Bangkok’s green jungle”. It is the biggest & greenest area near the city (about 16 kms). Here, you will cycle on elevated pathways through lush vegetation and under the shade of coconut, palm and banana trees.
Our first stop in Bangkrachao is a local, non-touristy Buddhist temple (Wat Bang Krasop). Mind your head when stepping inside the old temple. If time allows, we will pay a short visit to the elementary school next to the temple to say hello to the children.
We continue the bicycle ride deeper into the jungle until we reach a Muay Thai boxing gym. Take time to learn about this national sports. Those keen in trying it out can also do so and take a short lesson from the master. Then, we continue our ride crossing a market (if it is open) and visit the beautiful Sri Nakhon Khuean Khan Park, where we take a break and enjoy the scenery.
During the ride, we will also make a stop at a local restaurant to offer you a typical Thai meal like “Pad Thai” or “Kao Pad” (fried noodles or fried rice) with shrimps, crab, pork, chicken or vegetarian. Communicate your preference with your guide.
After our meal, we return to the pier where we take the ferry back to Bangkok and end the tour.
You don't need to be an avid cyclist to join the tour. Colors of Bangkok is an easy paced and relaxed biking trip that is suitable for the young and the old.
