EXPLORING CHIANGMAI BY BICYCLE! CHIANGMAI THE SECOND CITY OF THAILAND AND KNOWN AS THE ROSE OF THE NORTH IS QUIET SPRAWLING AND NOT SKY-SCRAPERRED FILLED LIKE BANGKOK SO A LEISURELY BICYCLE TREK IS THE TICKET! OF COURSE YOU CAN HIRE A BIKE AND GET HOPELESSLY LOST BUT IF YOU ARE ORGANISED AND SAFETY CONSCIOUS LIKE ME, IT IS BEST TO GO THROUGH A PROPER TOUR AGENCY. THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY AGENCY IS STANDARD TOUR COMPANY WHICH PROVIDES 2 GUIDES FROM THEIR AFFILIATED BIKE FIRM SO YOU ENJOY A WELL ROUNDED, EASY RIDE WHILE TAKING IN ALL THE INTERESTING SIGHTS, SOUNDS AND SHADES!
