Hello,

I would like to know some Bicycle tours in Bangkok and Chiang May

A simple city tour, just a sightseeing , 3 or 4 hours.

Can you recommend me some Tour Agency to ask or booking?

thanks,
Jaime Baeza

Our response to Jaime

Jaime,

Thank you for your inquiry. For city style bicycle tours in both Bangkok and Chiang Mai we would make the following suggestions:

Chiang Mai
Araiwah-Bicycle Chiang Mai City Tour
Grasshopper Adventures

Bangkok
Follow Me Bike Tours
Grasshopper Adventures
Bike Tour Bangkok

In addition to doing a city familiarization tour we would also recommend that you participate in a night bike tour, in either Bangkok or Chiang Mai. Thai cities are more visually vibrant at night, and also the temperature is a bit cooler. Enjoy your trip.

Respectfully,
Mike Hammers

Hi,

Do you stock the Park Tool Stand model 9 or know where I can buy one – actually I need to buy 2 of them..

Thanks
Brendan

Our response to Brendan

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for your inquiry.

We do not currently have the Park Tool Stand model 9 available for purchase in our online store. Perhaps, in the near future we will stock more of the larger tool offerings from Park Tool.

However, we can direct you to the Thailand distributor – since we are a great source for cycling information in Thailand ;-)

The guy you want to contact is Bike Boulevard in Samut Prakan:

Bike Boulevard
100/197 Moo 8 Srinakarin Road
T. Bang Mueang A. Mueang Samut Prakan
Samut Prakan 10270
Tel. 092-452-6264
Email: sales@bike-boulevard.com
[Thailand Distributor: PARK TOOL, BIKEFIT, ENDURO BEARING, TUFO, KURT KINETIC, LYNSKEY]

Here is the address written in Thai:
ไบค์ Boulevard
100/197 หมู่ 8 ถนนศรีนครินทร์
ตำบลบางเมือง อำเภอเมืองสมุทรปราการ
จังหวัดสมุทรปราการ 10270

You can send them an email or contact via message at their FaceBook page

Since Bike Boulevard is the Thailand distributor he may direct you to purchase from one of his retailers. One of the most well stocked retailers for Park Tool that we’ve found in the Bangkok area is called Gadget Bike.
