The selected roads are a mix of rural two lanes and a variety of surfaces and gravel/dirt roads. During most part of the tour, we will ride through areas of spectacular mountainous beauty. We will ride to places where others have no access to. This tour is out of the ordinary.
We start riding to the top of Thailand, the highest mountain in the country (Doi Inthanon), 2,565 meters. Doing some gravel riding along the Thai – Myanmar border to Mae Sot. We visit the site of Thailand’s first capital city, Sukothai – UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We also visit some of the lesser-known areas like Nan, which for centuries remained autonomous and cut off from the outside world. Discover the scenic 1148 with endless gentle curves and stunning scenery.
We explore Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle, the region made famous by Khun Sa, once one of the world’s most infamous drug king, who even had his own private army. Between Mae Taeng and Mae Hong Son, there are 1,864 bends or twisties which gives everybody a great opportunity to improve their cornering skills whatever their level of expertise. Another highlight of the trip is the visit to the Long Neck Women of the Kayan Tribe, famous for the brass rings that they wear around their necks. Before returning to Chiang Mai we do some more gravel/off-road in the area of Wat Chen. And In every region during the tour, we will feast on the local Thai cuisine.
