Gently cruise the River of Kings, the Chao Phraya, between Bangkok and Ayutthaya, Thailand's former capital, aboard a beautifully converted teakwood rice barge, and watch history unfold.

The peaceful and tolerant nature of the Thai people is legendary in South East Asia where they are regarded as humble, hospitable and easy going. Combined with 13th century history, fantastic scenery and great, but not too difficult cycling, in areas where few tourists go, you have all the ingredients of a truly great discovery bike ride.

Immerse yourself in rural Thai life, learn to cook delicious Thai cuisine, gently cycle through surrounding countryside & villages, and participate alms giving to the local Buddhist monks.

This is a trip all about scenery and enjoying the idyllic village pace of three distinct Indonesian islands, Bali, Java, and Madura.
