Bangkok Shore by Bike - a highly recommended escape from the big city and lovely visit to see life along the coast!
Velo Thailand - Private Day Tours的点评
点评:We did the full day Bangkok Shore by Bike tour and had an amazing experience! It was exactly what we wanted - an opportunity to get out of the city, breathe some fresh air, get some exercise (we rode 33km, mostly flat), and see the Gulf of Thailand. Our guide Jackie picked us up at our hotel & we were driven about an hour south of town before we stopped and got on our bikes. The first half was a lovely ride through a mangrove forest with a stop to see how the Thai people are reforesting the seaside to protect against storms. The ride was mostly flat and along a concrete path. There was a nice place to stop and see the Gulf of Thailand before heading to a local fishing village for lunch. We had a huge, 7-course lunch with locally-caught seafood at a beautiful outdoor restaurant next to the water. Lunch was included in the tour cost which we didn’t realize at first, but we appreciated. On the way back we stopped at a salt farm to see how salt is harvested from the sea water. It was very interesting and the owner was proud to show off her farm and the finished salt products. We finished the tour with a visit to a shrine for a Thai hero. It was a neat story and the first time we saw a shrine decked out with plastic roosters (offerings for the hero). Overall, the experience was wonderful and a terrific value for your Baht. The only thing to be aware of is a portion of the ride is along a back road where people live and there are a lot of dogs (some domesticated, some feral packs) that would bark/growl as we rode (slowly) by. Our guide kept us safe and calm and we didn’t have any issues but as someone that is scared of dogs from past bad experiences, it was frightening. I only mention this to be aware. I still highly recommend this trip and our guide Jackie was a wonderful host and fountain of knowledge!
翻译:我们参加了全天曼谷海岸自行车之旅,获得了一次奇妙的体验!这正是我们想要的 - 有机会离开城市,呼吸新鲜空气,锻炼身体(我们骑了 33 公里,大部分都是平坦的),并欣赏泰国湾。我们的导游杰基(Jackie)在我们的酒店接我们,我们开车向南行驶了大约一个小时,然后我们停下来骑上自行车。前半程是一次穿越红树林的愉快旅程,中途停下来看看泰国人民如何在海边重新造林以抵御风暴。旅程大部分是平坦的,沿着一条水泥路行驶。在前往当地渔村吃午餐之前,有一个不错的地方可以停下来欣赏泰国湾。我们在水边一家美丽的户外餐厅享用了丰盛的 7 道菜午餐,包括当地捕获的海鲜。午餐包含在旅行费用中,我们一开始没有意识到,但我们很感激。回来的路上,我们在一个盐场停下来,看看如何从海水中提取盐。这非常有趣,业主很自豪地展示她的农场和成品盐产品。我们参观了泰国英雄的神社,结束了这次旅行。这是一个简洁的故事,我们第一次看到一座神社装饰着塑料公鸡(献给英雄的祭品)。总的来说,这次体验非常棒,而且物超所值。唯一需要注意的是,骑行的一部分是沿着人们居住的小路行驶,有很多狗(一些是家养的,一些是野狗),当我们(缓慢地)骑行经过时,它们会吠叫/咆哮。我们的导游让我们保持安全和冷静,我们没有遇到任何问题,但作为一个因为过去的糟糕经历而害怕狗的人,这很可怕。我提到这一点只是为了让大家知道。我仍然强烈推荐这次旅行,我们的导游杰基是一位出色的主人和知识的源泉!
