Explore the green outskirts of Bangkok on a bicycle!

by Kourosh Al Zeera

Bangkok has one of the most vibrant contemporary art scene. Since most of the city's small private or commercial galleries promote Thai and Asian artists, a half day of gallery hopping is a great way of getting a taste of the local and vibrant 'art' scene that Bangkok has to offer! Like with many things in Bangkok you'll soon discover that there is no concentrated art area and that the city's galleries are pretty much scattered all over town. But still, if you would like to immerse yourself in Bangkok contemporary art scene, be prepared to do a bit of exploring in the maze of Bangkok streets with an artist/creative director 'guru' with international experience as travel/lifestyle writer/photographer. Meet even the artist, let me show you hard to find galleries, artist's studios and artists' hang outs. We can even finish the day at an art opening or at an art related event, an artsy cafe depending on when you book this creative and fun day! Be warned: you may be coming back home with a piece of art! Free BAM (Bangkok Art Map) and Bangkok 101 magazine (while supply last)

Bangkok art gallery hopping - Meet artists, curators and gallerists

We will take a private van to this area. It is about 1.30 hours from Bangkok. Help a small fishing community restore their livelihood. This former fishing village has been severely impacted by over-fishing and destruction of mangrove forests for shrimp farming. Over the years, this has meant the slow death of the community as fishing became impossible. As a result, they started a small Community Based Tourism (CBT) program, and this social business, allows the local people to restore their livelihood and community while also providing a fun and interesting experience for tourists. Our presence not only allows this way of life to continue, but by replanting mangrove trees where many important species grow before heading out to the open sea, we will be maintaining this for future generations 08.00 a.m. meet at your residence or hotel Travel to the village Learn about the issues and travel to see their way of life including aquaculture. Lunch will be in one of their houses in the middle of the sea. After lunch, head to the estuary to plant mangrove trees, expect to get dirty. Clean up and head out to the market.
