Looking for an authentic and unique adventure? Co van Kessel bike tours and boat tours provides a refreshing alternative to the tired tourist experience. We do not battle the crowds at clichéd destinations promoted in guide books, but turn your attention to quaint local communities and charming excursions into the fascinating lifestyle and culture of real Thai people. Every day is different and every tour is a surprise as we focus not on destinations, but lose ourselves in the enchantment of the journey itself.
Co van Kessel, an innovative and adventurous Dutchman, pioneered bicycle tours in Bangkok more than 30 years ago. As a longtime resident and self-professed lover of Bangkok, he understood very well the picture of accelerated urban development (gridlocked traffic, concrete towers, and choking pollution) that has plagued the recent image of the city. He also had a hunch that this was not what Bangkok or Thailand was all about.
Making it his goal to re-discover Bangkok, Co spent thousands of hours on his mountain bike exploring the vast network of local streets, alleyways, footpaths and canals between the main urban thoroughfares. What he found, lurking behind the facade of modernization, were hidden worlds of peace and tranquility, a picture of “real” Thai life that has remained unchanged for countless decades; an identity of a city that is true to the Thai people, yet largely unknown to outsiders.
Whether it’s the colorful sights and smells of the local markets, the fascinating life of locals along the canals, or the surprising existence of bountiful green belts, Co discovered the essence of what makes Bangkok one of Asia’s most captivating cities. Since then, it has been his mission to share these discoveries with the rest of the world.
What we do
Our mission at Co van Kessel Bangkok Tours is to provide our guests with a singularly unique travel experience in Thailand. All our tours use Co’s extensive topographical knowledge of the greater Bangkok area as well as his keen eye for the interesting to take you where nobody else can or will.
We aim not to bore you with talk, but to immerse you in an experience where your individual fascinations emerge.
Bicycles, boats, and our feet become the tools we use to gain access to the previously inaccessible, behind-the-scenes lifestyle of the Thai. Here the roots of an ancient culture will become evident in a way you never could have imagined.

same in any culture though - think about your own. My partner is from a different culture to me and, for instance, she coughs without covering her mouth with her hand first. I'd never do that, and find it really out of place when she does it. She also doesn't do the little 'dance' that English people do when you meet someone coming the opposite way and don't know whether to go left or right. She's got some very odd looks from that!

One of the amazing fact about Buddhism is Buddhism came to Thailand thru Sri Lanka (Theravada Buddhism) around 14th century and in 18th century Thailand has returned Buddhism back to Sri Lanka (Siam Nikaya) by Upali Thera - a Thai Theravada monk and founder of the Siam Nikaya and up to present time we still keep and stick on the Buddhism tradition so then it became our cultures

I married a Thai woman and I remember shortly after getting married, (we were still living in Thailand) I was laying on the floor and my wife got up and stepped over me to do something. Her mother was visiting and lit into her with a vengeance. She was so angry I couldn't keep up. I later found out my MIL got mad at her for stepping over me. It didn't bother me but my MIL said she was disrespecting me. I love your country, by the way.

I got almost all of this from a Thai friend before I visited. Very good comprehensive guide. Buy a small phrase book and try to learn some simple phrases on the plane over. "Hello" "Please" "Thank You" and "I don't understand" are essential. It helps to learn to count in Thai. You haggle for goods in markets, and haggle for the price of a tuk-tuk ride. If you can learn the Thai for these costs, you're well in front. If that's too daunting, you can use a cheap calculator and pass it back and forth with the shopkeeper, typing in your intended price (careful about handing over your phone though), or a blank piece of paper also works. Never touch a Thai on the head unless you've been invited to do so. Never use your feet to point at anyone. Never point your feet towards a Buddha image. Females should never touch a monk.

As soon as you know that Thai (baby)elephants are abused and broken for the tourist industry in Thailand, you will stop being that positive! Believe me... you can look it up on the internet: footage of abusive training (done by people without a heart) and of broken and abused (baby)elephants for and in the Thai tourist industry, shows and attractions. Also for innocent looking elephant rides; unfortunatly these animals first have to be broken and life beaten out of them. This is the reason why I skip Thailand!

What do you mean Dutch? So obvious with that accent :p The Wai I do by default, just to show my appreciation for the help received during my stay. You should NEVER step over someone who is sleeping on the ground, just disrespectful towards that person regardless of where you are. I was in Thailand for a month, took a lot of photo's and even was invited to several temples and in to buildings that are pretty much abandoned. I was asked to make photo's, nearly forced by monks. They welcomed me with open arms so to speak. Smiling is indeed a very big thing in Thailand, you get a lot more done and cheaper if you smile, be polite and don't raise your voice. A huge tip for Americans for example who have the habit of being rather loud (sorry, but it's true), just calm yourself down and find out that you get a lot more for doing so.

A very good video but there's a few points I would make based on living part of the time in Thailand where I'm married. I live in Mahasarakham in the rural north-eastern Isaan region so it's possibly more traditional in it's ways. The issue with feet can be confusing. If you are in a temple or someone's home and kneeling or have your legs bent to one side you will be showing the bottom of your feet to people either behind or next to you. It simply can't be helped so it's what Thais do as well. It's also a bit strange that the feet are considered dirty and often are due to walking barefoot but in a market it's common to see a stall holder sitting cross legged on the table with their feet next to the food they are selling. Always seems weird to me. Then there's hair. I often hear that Thais don't touch a person's hair even a child's hair. This isn't true. I often see Thais ruffling the hair of children and I do it myself with my wife's nephew who's nearly 6. I don't do it to adults but then I don't do that in the UK either so it's not really something different. One tip I would give is when going to temples take a pair of socks of some sort. Thailand is usually very hot and sunny and any area outside of a temple building can also be very hot. This is especially the case if the temple steps and outside areas are darker materials as they don't reflect the heat in the same way lighter marble does. Thais do this as well although older ones often have hard soles due to walking barefoot so much. My wife's uncle was a monk and he could walk barefoot on the road even when it was very hot. I just thought of something else. The hand gesture used to beckon someone to you that I would use is the hand held with the palm up and bend the fingers towards you. Thais don't do this and I think the palm up method may be considered rude. They have the palm facing down but often they don't flex the fingers so much which is fine with the palm up but with it down it can look as if they are gesturing you to stay where you are. This confusion got me some angry looks from my then girlfriend when I first went to Thailand. Lastly Thais are generally very polite but not once they get into a vehicle or onto a bike. One of my greatest pleasures when I return to the UK is the general politeness of drivers that I never appreciated before.

As a Thai myself I agree. The feet thing, from my experiences, are usually for the Temple and older people in general. As for the hair/head thing, it kinda goes the same way: older, monks, and in monastery. For the pointing, it seems like nobody cares at all, I'd say it's mostly being used in a professional settings. There are a few points that I disagree in the video, the other points are practical and I find it appreciative. Edit: typo.
