Bangkok -- Bike tour at night



Having completed a bike tour while traveling in Vietnam in October, we thought we would give it another try in Bangkok, this time at night.  We used Grasshopper Adventures since we had met the manager of the Bangkok office while celebrating Thanksgiving in Hanoi.  The bikes, the staff, the tour guide, and the tour were all great.
