Hua Hin Explorer

A couple of hours south of Bangkok lies a fertile lowland with a network of canals, orchards and a huge forest reserve – a tranquil land and lifestyle that is an important facet of Thailand that most visitors never see. 

We start by visiting the Damnoen Saduak floating market, a canal packed with small boats selling just about everything before taking a long tail boat ride through the network of canals. We begin our bike ride, along country roads,  cycling through orchards and temples, finishing at a canalside hotel.

Day two takes in traffic-free roads and trails with beautiful scenery, entering Kaeng Krachan national park, cycling over a large dam and alongside a crstyline lake, stopping at a secluded hotel in the hills.

On day three we cycle through fishing villages with schools and temples, and along the coast for excellent views of the sea.

• I thought that the tour was excellent. Most aspects were well thought out and planned and this made for an excellent trip.

• This was my first overnight trip with SpiceRoads and I am very satisfied. The accommodations were carefully chosen to be both comfortable but different than what tourists usually experience. In particular, the hotel on the canal was really nice. The guide (Yo) and the driver were very helpful and did everything possible to provide a memorable experience.

• A big compliment to your tour guides (Yo in Bangkok during this trip and Win in Chiang Mai). This is the third tour we made with SpiceRoads, and I think you have expceptionally good guides, especially compared with guides we had during other tours in Thailand.

• Our guide, Khun Num, was so nice, kind and competent. His English was great. Everything on this tour was perfect. I will definately use SpiseRoads again.

• The tour and the guide Yo was excellent. It was a unique way to see Thailand off the beaten track. I can't wait to join SpiceRoads in another adventure.

• We were having a wonderful time with Ted and Charly and I can only recommend the tour and the whole organization of it.

  The cycling through the beautiful landscape was superb, perfect choice of the routing, excellent restaurants and food and the accommodation is chosen very carefully.

  Ted an Charly took really good care of us and we were spoiled with food, drinks and good company throughout the tour.

  The day trips were manageable and my aunt was extremely pleased that she could make up the speed to her comfort.

  We really had a great time!

• I wanted to let you know that we had a really great time on our cycle tour in Thailand.

  There are lots of reasons why it was so good.

  For example, the distances were about right, the countryside was fantastic, the hotels were interesting and different (one was luxurious and the other simpler and therefore more interesting), the food was good, and I could list more things.

  However, what really made the trip was the friendliness and attitude of the guide and driver.

  They never once tired of our stupid questions and showed us so much of the real life in the country that it meant we had some nice exercise and brand new insights into what is; for us; a completely different world.

  All in all, it was great.
