Dutchman finds fine biking in Bangkok

The Thai capital of Bangkok is not what most people would equate to a green city, let alone a good city to cycle through. But Dutchman Co Van Kessel has been running a successful business offering cycle tours of Bangkok for the last 20 years.

Van Kessel admits that to find the other side of a city known for its stand-still traffic, urban sprawl and air pollution takes some effort, but the hunch that told him 20 years ago that there was more to Bangkok than met the eye has paid off for him; and he now runs a good little business, catering almost exclusively to his fellow lowland bike lovers of the Netherlands.

According to Van Kessel, Bangkok remains "true to its people, yet mostly unknown to outsiders". He says he takes visitors to haven of peace and serenity still in the city limits of Bangkok’s cacophony. To learn more click here.
