I tried out the Green Bangkok Bike ride circuit.First of all a photo of my passport was taken.
Apparently there's green cycle lane to follow but the green lane isn't always clearly laid out or not.
I got a bit lost on the way to the Swing monument.
Before hand I'd stopped at a Chinese Phamarcy for a breather;luckily the people working there gave me a cool refreshing glass of water.
Between the Democracy monument the cycle lane was on the pavement!but the Thai people aren't really aware of the cycle lane and of course it was blocked;not really a good place for a cycle lane!
Cars double parked on the way back even though there was a No Parking sign made it diificult to stay on the cycle lane.
Interesting bike ride but it would have been more enjoyable without the traffic jams,exhaust fumes from the Tuk Tuks and the old run down buses so sometimes it was better to cycle on the pavement.
It was better on the few stretches of green marked cycle lanes when there was a very lttle traffic.Still it was good to explore by an environmentally friendly means of transport but I could obviously do without Bangkok's pollution!
