Starting from your hotel in Bangkok we take start the journey south with a visit to one of Thailand more popular sights – the floating market. We have a chance to have a look around before we head of through the maze of canals in a long tail boat that make this area so interesting. We ride the back roads through, along side plantations that provide a wide array of produce before eventually arriving at our charming hotel on the banks of the canal. Our second day really takes us of the beaten path into the countryside that separates Burma from Thailand. This beautiful area is a joy to ride in as we pass by Keang Krachan lake and we take small back roads and trails all the way to the hotel. Our final day is a great ride as we now head to the beach just south of Huan Hin. After a great ride taking in the beach and local fishing villages and lunch at a local restaurant overlooking the sea we drop you at your venue of choice – Pranburi, Hua Hin or Bangkok
Trip Profile:
This tour follows a wide range of trails, including quiet back roads, jeep trails with a few small hills but nothing too strenuous or taxing. Days 1 and 3 of the tour are relatively undemanding as it is flat but day 2 is a little harder due to some small hills.
Our support vehicle follows close behind with plenty of water. Our guides are knowledgeable on the local area and customs and explain the history, culture and local way-of-life each time we stop.
This trip is suitable for all levels of riders and is an excellent trip for families.
