A snazzy new bike lane
Bangkok’s a few months away from getting a brand new revamp of the popular Suvarnabhumi Sky Lane, arguably the city’s hottest destination for biking. Set to open in November, the improved venue will boast additional bike lanes to welcome more cyclists and reduce the risk of accidents—as well as more rest stops. There also promises to be more medical stops, as well as a health clinic from Samitivej Hospital, and an indoor "Bike Center," complete with a food court, bike equipment and repair stores.
Convenient bicycle-sharing services
Bangkok just welcomed its first station-less bike-sharing service, the Singapore-hailing oBike, which lets you grab a bike and drop it off wherever is convenient for you. For only B10 per 15 minutes, this is a great alternative to getting around the city at peak hour. Another option is the BMA’s Pun Pun service, whose bikes can be picked up at stations across the city for B10 for the first hour (first 15 minutes free).
Brand new parks
While Lumphini, Benjakiti and Suan Luang parks may be great for biking, they can often be overcrowded. Luckily, Bangkok’s welcomed several new parks that offer plenty of green space for riding your bike. Benjakiti Forest Park, which opened quietly in late-2016, is still unknown to a lot of people and offers 61 rai of open space that’s great for a casual bike ride. Meanwhile, Chula Park, which opened in March right in the heart of Bangkok, is an equally good destination. Head there before it gets too crowded!
Bike-friendly destinations
You don’t have to leave Bangkok to get a taste of the jungle. A destination like Bang Krachao, otherwise known as Bangkok’s green lung, is perfect for escaping the bustle of the city and exploring the other side of the river by bike. Bring your own set of wheels along or rent one for the day by the Bang Krachao pier. If you’d rather explore the surroundings with a group, Spiceroads offers great tours through the area’s local temples, schools and markets. Register at www.spiceroads.com.
Bike customization services
It’s now easier than ever to look cool while riding a bicycle. Local company Tint Bicycle lets you design your own bike, including hand-picking the model, material and size, down to the color of the wheels and type of handlebars. Their clean, retro designs are sure to make you stand out on the road. Prices start at B7,500, see www.tintbicycle.com.
The Importance of Green Transportation
TCEB (Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau) has worked in cooperation with one of the country’s leading convention centers, Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, to set up the “QSNCC’s Bicycle Parking Initiative”, making it Thailand's first MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) operator to provide bicycle parking space on site. This additional feature helps promote the use of green transportation to MICE events in an effort to help reduce events' impact on Bangkok’s traffic and pollution issues. With the convention center being next to the popular Benjakitti Park, bike owners can easily stop off next door for a ride around the park after visiting the venue. So next time you're headed to QSNCC, don't forget to grab your bike!
