1. Ayutthaya - Song Phi Nong Bicycle Track

This bicycle track is a 90 Km bike ride from Ayutthaya to Thung Khok in Song Phi Nong District of Suphan Buri Province, being the first track from the Ayutthaya - Three Pagoda Pass - Ayutthaya Route and the provincial Tour of Suphanburi.

The track starts at Wat Maha That in Ayutthaya and goes over Bang Ban, Sena, Lat Bua Luang in Ayutthaya Province and Bang Len and Song Phi Nong in Suphan Buri Province. We leave the City of Ayutthaya in western direction and take Rd #3263 until Chao Chet (Sena District). Here we change onto Rd #3125 until Khlong Ta Yai in Man Wichai (Sena District, just south of Wat Kaeo Suwan), where the way continues on Rd #3143. When reaching Rd #4006 in Lat Buang Luang we continue west on it until Lakchai (Lat Buang Luang District). Here we turn south on Rd #340 for a short distance, to turn west again on Rd#3422 at Bua Pak Tha (Bang Len District). At the Noen Phra Prang Sub-district Administration we turn into the Rural Rd #3020 until Wat Sri Chalerm Khet. Just past the temple we turn north onto the Malaiman Road (#321) until Thung Khok (Song Phi Nong District).

The main point of interest on this track is the large monastery Wat Phai Rong Wua described as "a kind of Buddhist version of Disneyland without the rides".

The tour will take about 5 to 6 hours depending on the weather conditions and your physical fitness. The track is fully paved. There are passages involved over main roads with rather heavy traffic. Be careful in these locations. Points of Interest are mainly for reference.

Tips and Warnings

Be cautious as traffic is sometimes chaotic and dangerous. Motor vehicles often fail to see cyclists and pedestrians, so you must closely watch out for them. Motorcycles are a common cause of local accidents. Dogs and potholes can also be dangerous, especially in remote areas.

Be visible and wear yellow or orange colors. Use flashing rear bike lights during your bicycle trip. It is inadvisable to drive at night due to the lack of lighting.

Weather can be very hot, so make sure to drink plenty of fluids and wear sun block. Cover the body parts as much as possible and wear a hat or even better a bike helmet. Stay hydrated!

Be sure to have a tire repair kit with you, as flat tires are common due to the badly maintained roads and the lack of bicycle paths.
