Ayutthaya - Bang Sai Bicycle Track 2

This bicycle tour has been designed for a 70 km ride from Ayutthaya to the mouth of the Noi River in Bang Sai and back. Main Point of Interest is Wat Yi Pa, a monastery dating from the Ayutthaya era (prior 1767) and indicated on the map named "Groote Siamse Rievier Me-Nam Of Te Moeder Der Wateren In haren loop met de vallende Spruyten Verbeeld" by the Dutch minister and naturalist François Valentijn (1666 - 1727). The return goes over the Pak Kran fields to Ayutthaya, by crossing the Noi River at Wat Ban Phat.

The tour will take about 3 to 4 hours depending on the weather conditions and your physical fitness. Most of the track is paved, but there are some dirt tracks mainly on the east side of the Noi River.

If you are interested in viewing photographs of the temples and sites or would like additional historic information about some Points of Interest, visit our website at www.ayutthaya-history.com. As this is a bicycle training track, not all Points of Interest are posted. They 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.
