What to expect
Begin your laid-back evening bike tour with a meet up at the Discova Day Tour Shop where you'll receive your rental helmets and bikes, before heading towards the old city wall’s eastern gate at 6.00 PM, passing many of Chiang Mai’s quaint lanes. Arrive at the first stop, Tha Phae Gate, which was once the entrance through which traders brought their wares into the city. Learn more about Chiang Mai's history as a trading hub at this beautifully restored gate.
Continue your ride through the spaghetti streets of the old city to the temple Wat Intakhin, with its serene 700 hundred year old white Buddha and the Three Kings Monument, where you will hear about the founding of Chiang Mai. Proceed with the tour to the city moat. Leaving the bikes by the side of the moat, walk across to Wat Lok Molee with its beautifully illuminated stupa and ornate wooden prayer hall. At this time of day you have a good chance of hearing the monks chanting their prayers.
The next stop is Chiang Mai’s grandest monument: Wat Chedi Luang was built to house the ashes of a king and was once the home of the Emerald Buddha, now housing the City Pillar and 3 auspicious dipterocarp trees which provide protection to the city. Cycle to Chiang Mai’s Gate Market for the last stop and wander through the bustling night market. Walking through the market, your guide will point out the different types of street foods available. After selecting some food to sample, sit down with a drink and enjoy the night market atmosphere.

We had such a great time on this tour and honestly didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as we did. Everything ran smoothly, and it felt really well organised from start to finish. Our tour guide, Aei was the highlight of the day — super friendly, easy to talk to, and really knowledgeable. She shared interesting stories and little details we definitely wouldn’t have known on our own. She also made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. It just felt relaxed and fun the whole way through. Would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you get Aei as your guide!
We had an amazing time cycling through the old city and markets. The guide was excellent and gave us a lot of useful information about the history of Chiang Mai. We got an opportunity to visit all the old city gates, and stop by a local market for local food.

Five stars to our guide Farm. He was very polite, cared about our safety, and knowledgeable. It was really nice seeing all the different sights and riding through the back streets of Chiang Mai. We finished the tour at a coffee shop stop. Great tour.
