I truly believe that Thailand is one of the greatest places in the world to ride a bicycle. You'll notice I said "Thailand", and not "Bangkok" even though you can get out on a bike and really enjoy yourself in Bangkok too if you know where to go. I lived in Bangkok for more than 3 years before I finally took one of those bicycle day tours that takes you across the river and it opened my eyes to a whole new side of Bangkok. Try My link or any one of the others offering tours over there daily - it will blow your mind. I personally still prefer to ride outside of Bangkok, and most of all Along the Beautiful Beaches of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province - Sea, Mountains, Farmland, and Nature at it's best.
Other things that make me Love Thailand are:
Cold Beer (well, I don't drink much anymore), Hot Women (I'm madly in love and engaged to be married but I still enjoy seeing beautiful women), Friendly Smiles (some may be fake, but better than frowns or snears), SEAFOOD!!!, Warm Weather Year Round, Some of my Favorite Foods in the Whole World, Fresh Fruits, Watermelon Year Round - and Shakes Too!, Mangos, Mangosteen, Lychee, Value for the Money, and True Freedom. America is supposed to be a "Free Country", but I have never had the freedoms that I do here, especially after 9/11.
Just wanted to share!
