Bike Thailand PreTrip

Bike Thailand Pre-Trip Adventure Bangkok, Thailand / June 12-15, 2009

Bangkok – a city that overwhelms the senses with unimaginable architecture, spectacular temples covered in gold, and traditional floating markets teeming with people and laden with exotic goods and food – is the destination for a pre-trip which will allow you to see it all. Old Bangkok interfaces with new Bangkok which has jumped into the twenty-first century with high rise apartments, fashionable hotels and shops, and trendy restaurants catering to the discerning palate. The city is truly the crown jewel of Southeast Asia.

OTHGI has fashioned a fun-filled pre-cycling trip that allows you to sample the uniqueness of Bangkok and visit those parts of the city that will allow you to gain a better understanding of Thai culture.

Upon arriving in Bangkok you will be personally met at the airport and transported to your hotel. In the evening a meeting will outline the days to come. A traditional Thai meal will round out your first day in Thailand’s capital city. The next day you will learn to cook some delicious Thai delicacies and then eat your own creations. The afternoon will be free for exploration.

You will then have the opportunity to visit the Royal Silk Project to learn the ins and outs of one of Thailand’s major exports. A traditional Thai massage will get you warmed up for the next day’s walking tour of Bangkok. You will see the hustle and bustle of a modern city while walking in the narrow alleys where the old city still lives. Late in the afternoon you will join with the others for the beginning of the Bike Thailand Adventure.
