Bangkok, Thailand
Cycling navigation built for Bangkok.
Sois that go through and sois that don’t. Canal paths, footbridges, heat, six-lane roads. Velomo scores Bangkok’s streets for riding and guides you through them in Thai or English.
Made for this city
Bangkok is not a flat grid, and the routing knows it.
Generic bike maps treat every road the same. Velomo’s Bangkok routing is built around the things that decide whether a ride here is pleasant or miserable.
Sois that connect
Many lanes look like shortcuts and end in a wall. Velomo routes on the real connections, so a dead end is never your shortcut.
Canal and riverside paths
Khlong-side walkways and river promenades make calm corridors across the city. Where they are on the map, Velomo uses them.
Footbridges
Switch on “OK to carry bike up stairs” and a footbridge becomes your way across a six-lane road.
Heat and shade
The shade option leans on tree-lined streets and park paths for the afternoon ride home.
Parks with cycling hours
Some parks only allow bikes at certain hours. Velomo knows them and tells you before you ride in.
Rider reports
Flooded road, new construction, a soi that just got closed. Riders report it, others confirm it, routes adapt.
Three routes, every trip
Three honest options for every trip.
Ask for a route and Velomo shows the calm one, the quick one and the compromise, each with a safety score and its risky spots. Safest may take you through quiet sois and along a canal path. Fastest tells you plainly that it uses Sukhumvit Road, and how many risky spots that costs.
- Safest: quiet sois, canal paths, crossings with traffic lights
- Balanced: fewer detours, still off the worst roads
- Fastest: the direct line, main roads included
In Thai or English
Street names said the way locals say them.
Voice prompts and map labels come from the Thai-language map when you ride in Thai, and from English names when you ride in English. “Soi Sukhumvit 39” is never read out as a string of letters.
- Full Thai interface, chosen on first start
- Thai or English voice guidance
Bangkok questions
Riding in Bangkok with Velomo
Which parts of Bangkok are covered?
Routing works across Bangkok and the provinces around it. Our own testing has focused on the inner districts, so that is where routes have been checked most so far.
Does Velomo use the BTS and MRT?
Not yet. Trips that combine a ride with a train are on our list, since so many Bangkok commutes work that way.
What about the rainy season floods?
When riders report a flooded road or underpass, riders passing it are warned at once, and routes go around it as soon as a second rider confirms it. Flood reports expire after a few days, since the water goes too.
Is Velomo in Thai?
Yes. Pick ภาษาไทย on first start and everything, including voice guidance and street names, is in Thai.
