Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Explore the vast UNESCO World Heritage site the way it was meant to be seen -on two wheels. This 3-hour guided bicycle tour takes you from the grand temples of the Central Zone to the colossal "Phra Achana" at Wat Si Chum. Best of all, we provide connected audio earpieces, allowing you to listen to your guide’s live commentary while you ride. Enjoy the history, the breeze, and the scenery without ever missing a word.

Stand before the colossal "Phra Atchana" at Wat Si Chum. Learn the legends and engineering secrets of this 15-meter seated Buddha.
We leave the city walls to visit the quieter Northern Zone for a true highlight: Wat Si Chum. This mondop houses "Phra Atchana," a breathtaking seated Buddha. We will walk through the narrow entrance to stand at the statue's fingertips, discussing the engineering behind this massive structure and the famous "legend of the speaking Buddha" used to boost the morale of soldiers during times of battle. The scale and serenity of this image are unforgettable.
