Thailand is one of the largest and most varied countries in Southeast Asia, stretching 1500 km from north to south, and at its widest 870 km from east to west. Most people know of its beaches and nightlife, but far fewer know about its rich culture and varied scenery. Thailand is a land of palaces and temples, of ruined cities, colorful markets and friendly and hospitable people. One of the most popular destinations in Thailand, is the island resort area of Phuket. This route has some of the best coastal scenery available in Thailand. Enjoy the sights and sounds of endless beaches.
Our biking tour visits the western coastline of the country. It’s a scenic and awe-inspiring adventure with seemingly endless beach views. You’ll ride through quant little villages and rest in world-class resort areas prominent for their natural attractions and beauty. Most roads are flat and fast with only a few areas of climbing or hills. Many of the visited areas are noted for producing some of the best seafood dishes in the world.
Explore the culture along the coasts and beaches. Local residents are relaxed and friendly as they are used to the slow pace of living near the beaches. It is a decidedly slower way of life in dire contrast to the hustle and buzz of life in Bangkok.
You’ll be able to take in some spectacular coastline scenery, be surrounded by statuesque peaks, and wiggle your toes in Thailand’s soft and warm sand. The tour has a great variety of riding.
