Looking for a fun outdoor activity to do in Bangkok? Let’s go cycling! This urban city offers various places for cyclists of all levels where you can cycle safely and have fun at the same time!
Check out these 4 recommended cycling parks: Happy and Healthy Bike Lane, Peppermint Bike Park, Wareephirom Park, and Benjakitti Park.
Happy and Healthy Bike Lane (HHBL)
With well-maintained facilities and great safety, HHBL gains huge attraction from all ages. As it is located nearby Suvarnabhumi airport, you may also spot planes flying over during your ride!
The highlight here is the main 23.5-kilometer cycling track around Suvarnabhumi airport, which consists of a blue track and a purple track. While both are two-lane and one-way tracks, the purple track is for fast riders, and the blue track is more for leisure cyclists. There are rest areas and toilets every 5 kilometers.

However, don’t worry if you are not ready for the full loop yet, as there is a 1.5-kilometer cycling and jogging track available too.
For families with kids, take them to the Kids Bike Park, which has a thrilling BMX-style pump track. Moreover, the newly-opened balanced Bike Park provides a safe environment for your children to learn how to ride a bicycle with free-to-use bikes.

We recommend you to visit in the early morning or evening to avoid heat. If the sky is clear, you will be able to catch a beautiful sunset as well. However, don’t stay there too late as there can be quite many mosquitos after sundown.
