We ride a total of 271 km over 6 cycling days. This tour is designed to strike an ideal balance between scenic, mildly-challenging cycling and cultural and historical exploration, providing an immersive experience in Thailand and Cambodia. With several vehicle transfers before and/or after our rides, we avoid busy main roads and focus on the most enjoyable routes. Angkor, one of the world’s most extraordinary heritage sites, is a highlight, and we aim to offer you a nuanced perspective of the ancient temples both on and off the bike.
The trip is fully supported, and your guide’s expert knowledge of the area and terrain means that you always know what is coming up in terms of distance and difficulty. This makes a tremendous difference, as does the constant supply of water and refreshments along the way.
Suitability: This is a moderately difficult trip that anyone with a reasonable level of fitness will enjoy. Aside from some undulations on the Thai side, the rides are predominantly flat, with no more than 350 meters of elevation gain in a day. Daily distances average around 45 km, allowing ample time for immersion, sightseeing, and relaxation. In Cambodia, navigating gravel, sand, and cratered country roads requires some handling skills but does not involve technical maneuvering. The support vehicle is always nearby to offer refuge to any weary cyclists. We also have one day off the bikes when we travel from Battambang to Siem Reap, either by boat or overland, depending on the water levels of Tonle Sap Lake.
Biking Conditions: In Thailand, the roads are almost entirely paved and in good condition, with only a few short stretches of gravel in the plantations near the border. In Cambodia, our rides include a mix of paved roads in varying conditions, gravel and sand country roads, and vehicle-width dirt roads. While cycling in Angkor, we’ll also enjoy some fun single tracks in the forests. Although much of the route is on quiet countryside roads with minimal traffic, we will regularly share the roads with cars, motorbikes, and buses. In the dry season, Cambodia’s roads are notoriously dusty, and when it rains, they can become muddy. We generally ride rain or shine, but based on the guide’s discretion or your comfort level, modifications to the planned route can be made. It’s all part of the adventure!
Because some people can't imagine going on a trip without their own beloved bicycle, we do not provide them as part of this tour. However, you can hire bikes locally for the price listed in the tour pricing section. If you bring your own bike, please make sure it is a mountain, hybrid, or gravel bike in good mechanical order.
We also have E-Bikes available for hire, but they are limited in number & size - please send an email to us to check on availability.
Basic spares and tools are carried by the guide and on the support vehicle, though we cannot guarantee having spares for every conceivable problem. Carrying a basic tool kit, a spare tube and a pump while riding is recommended.
Wearing a helmet is required on all our biking adventures and is non negotiable. If you do not wear a helmet you will not be allowed to cycle. Your tour leader is trained in first aid and emergency rescue, but to a large degree you must be responsible for your own safety while riding. It is therefore compulsory that you take out travel insurance that will cover you for a mountain biking tour.
You will be led by a local English-speaking guide and if the group is 9 people or more we will add another guide to the tour. All our guides are well informed in the history, culture and religions of the area where you are biking and are skilled at passing that knowledge on to you. Your guide is also medically trained and an experienced cyclist, able to handle most minor repairs en route.
Important Update: As of May 01, 2025 all non-Thai nationals entering Thailand by air, land, or sea must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online before arrival. Please fill out the details on the official website here within three (3) days before your arrival in Thailand. This is a free process - beware of fake websites that charge a fee. If you are already travelling within the three days before your planned arrival in Thailand, then we suggest completing the form while you are at a hotel with reliable Wi-Fi. It only takes a few minutes.
We recommend that you visit a travel medical doctor and ask about the following vaccinations: typhoid, polio, tetanus and hepatitis A. A certificate for Yellow Fever is required when arriving from an infected area within six days.
Thailand generally has a tropical climate with fairly high humidity. The North and Central region have a tropical climate with fairly high humidity. Northeast Thailand has a humid hot and dry weather alternatively with medium rain while the coastal areas of the east is humid and hot with intermittent rain. The South of Thailand has a tropical climate with fairly high humidity.
There are three seasons: from March to June it is hot and dry, with temperatures between 27˚C/80 F and 40˚C/104 F, with night temperatures in the 20s. The rainy season is from July to October, but temperatures are slightly lower, because of the effect of the rain. During this time it will not rain continuously, but in sharp bursts, and the sun can come out quickly. The cooler season is from October to February, with average temperatures between 20˚C/68 F and 30˚C/86 F.
Meals are included as per the itinerary where B = breakfast, L = lunch, D = dinner. Most meals are local and feature noodles, rice, curries, and soups. Any special dietary requirements can also be catered for as well. Please let us know at the time of booking.
Keeping you completely hydrated is a job we take very seriously. Cold water, some energy-restoring local fruit, and soft drinks are included in the tour price while riding. Soft drinks and other beverages during meals are not included. Beer is freely available everywhere but is NOT included in the price.
SpiceRoads does not require you to pay a surcharge for traveling alone. We will arrange for you to share accommodation with another traveler of the same gender and if we cannot match you up we will provide a single room at no extra charge. If you prefer not to share a single supplement is payable to guarantee your own room. The cost of the single supplement is listed above.
We recommend that you tuck away a few extra dollars, perhaps US$20 per day, for incidentals.
The Thai currency is the baht. ATMs, which are abundant, are the easiest ways to get Thai baht. Have a supply of US dollars in cash on hand, just in case your card doesn’t work. Banks or the rarer private moneychangers offer the best foreign-exchange rates. Credit cards are accepted in big cities and resort hotels but you’ll need baht for family-run guesthouses or restaurants.
For certain border crossings (including airports), you can also obtain a visa online through e-visa. There is a 3-day processing time and you'll need a scanned copy of the passport. Not all border crossings accept the e-visa. Please check this port of entry page which provides a list of which checkpoints support the e-Visa service.
Currently, e-visa is not applicable for any land crossings on Spice Roads multi-country tours that enter Cambodia from either Vietnam or Thailand. A visa-on-arrival must be purchased when entering Cambodia during these tours. For visa-on-arrival, the cost is 35 USD and it needs to be paid in cash. It is important that the USD are in good condition - i.e. no visible tearing, creasing, crumpling, or scribbling - so please only bring new and crisp USD bills to avoid any issues upon entry. We recommend using only USD or KHR currencies to ensure acceptance and avoid unfavourable exchange rates.
Electronic arrival card: All passengers travelling to Cambodia by flights into Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, and Sihanoukville airports must now submit an electronic arrival card before entering the country. This 'Cambodia e-arrival card' can be completed prior to arrival (no more than 7 days before arrival) via the official website or through Apple's App Store and Google Play Store.
Those entering Cambodia by land crossing or boat will still use the traditional paper-based forms issued at the border.
We recommend that you visit a travel medical doctor and ask about the following vaccinations: typhoid, polio, tetanus and hepatitis A. A certificate for Yellow Fever is required when arriving from an infected area within six days.
Cambodia has two distinct seasons - wet and dry. The dry season usually lasts from October to April. The wet season starts in May until September. Within each season there are variations in temperature. The coolest being 24C around November/December and hottest hitting 35C around April/May.
Meals are included as per the itinerary where B = breakfast, L = lunch, D = dinner. Most meals are local and feature noodles, rice, curries, and soups. Cambodian cuisine is a mixture of Thai, French and Chinese dishes and we make sure you can sample a wide variety. Any special dietary requirements can also be catered for as well. Please let us know at the time of booking.

Thai baht and US dollars are widely used in Cambodia, especially in larger cities and towns. In smaller towns and villages, Cambodian riels are usually preferred. There are ATMs in most areas, however, machines dispense US dollars. The guides will be able to show you where the ATMs are. Spend riel before departing as no one will exchange them for you once you leave.

Aside from some undulations on the Thai side, the rides are predominantly flat, with no more than 350 meters of elevation gain in a day. Daily distances average around 45 km, allowing ample time for immersion, sightseeing, and relaxation. In Cambodia, navigating gravel, sand, and cratered country roads requires some handling skills but does not involve technical maneuvering. The support vehicle is always nearby to offer refuge to any weary cyclists. We also have one day off the bikes when we travel from Battambang to Siem Reap, either by boat or overland, depending on the water levels of Tonle Sap Lake.
Biking Conditions: In Thailand, the roads are almost entirely paved and in good condition, with only a few short stretches of gravel in the plantations near the border. In Cambodia, our rides include a mix of paved roads in varying conditions, gravel and sand country roads, and vehicle-width dirt roads.

We begin with a morning pick-up from your accommodation in Bangkok and transfer around 3.5 hours to the coast of Rayong Province. During lunch with an ocean view, our bikes will be assembled, and we’ll start the adventure with a gentle warm-up ride along the Gulf of Thailand. Cycling on well-paved secondary roads, we'll pass shrimp farms with their patchwork of ponds, rubber plantations with neatly spaced trees, and fishing communities with colorful boats and wooden houses. The highlight of the ride is a loop around a rugged cape, offering stunning views over winding roads next to the ocean. We’ll then transfer for an hour to Chanthaburi, where we spend the night. Chanthaburi is renowned for its historic riverside buildings and charming Old-World ambiance – ideal for a late afternoon stroll and sampling local Thai delicacies.
We switch kingdoms from Thailand to Cambodia! Starting with a one-hour transfer from Chanthaburi town to our cycling start point, we’ll embark on a 35 km journey toward the Cambodian border. The ride is mostly on well-paved, undulating roads lined by expansive orchards and fields, with a few sections on gravelly and sandy tractor paths through longan and durian plantations. After reaching the Ban Pakkad border checkpoint and completing immigration procedures, the SpiceRoads Cambodia team will welcome us to the “Kingdom of Wonders.” We’ll first head to a nearby restaurant for lunch before continuing with a roughly 2-hour drive to Battambang. Just outside the city, we’ll stop at Phnom Sampov, a rocky outcrop with a hilltop temple complex overlooking the vast, rice-paddy-covered Cambodian plains. This site is also home to the “Killing Caves,” a somber memorial to the victims of the Khmer Rouge genocide. Afterward, we’ll return to the base of the hill to experience the day’s grand finale: the mesmerizing exodus of millions of bats swirling into the twilight sky from a cave. We’ll take a seat, grab a drink, and enjoy the show! After dusk, we’ll drive to our hotel in Battambang City.
The countryside around Battambang bursts with vibrant rural scenes, reflections of Cambodia’s history, and some unexpected fun. We’ll start with a 25 km ride along the banks of the Sangker River and its surrounding roads, passing traditional cottage industries where local favorites like banana chips, rice wine, bamboo sticky rice, and prahok (a pungent fermented fish paste) are made. We’ll also explore Wat Phnom Eak, an 11th-century Angkorian ruin, and pay our respects at the Samrong Knong Killing Field, a genocide memorial within the grounds of a Buddhist temple. The second half of our ride takes us through lush rice paddies and roadside markets, culminating in a quintessential and somewhat comical Battambang experience: a ride on the bamboo train, clattering along train tracks on bamboo platforms powered by a small motor. Before riding back to the city, we’ll cross a hanging bridge that feels straight out of an Indiana Jones movie and visit the Cambodian Peace Gallery, a thought-provoking exhibition on war and reconciliation. After some free time in the afternoon, we’ll gather for dinner at Jaan Bai, a social enterprise restaurant serving fresh local cuisine and providing employment for Cambodian youth.
Today’s schedule is dependent on the water levels of the Tonle Sap, Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake and one of Cambodia’s most treasured life-sustaining natural resources. The Tonle Sap swells and shrinks with the coming and going of the yearly monsoon period. When the water levels are sufficiently high (August to December tends to be the sweet spot) then we cruise from Battambang to Siem Reap via an open-air boat, enjoying a 6-7 hour journey along the Sangker River which then feeds into the shimmering Tonle Sap Lake. Throughout the journey we are surrounded by a photo reel of stilt houses, fishing contraptions, floating villages, marshes, and sunken forests. When the water levels are too low to permit a comfortable boat ride (generally March to August, but it varies year to year), then we transfer to Siem Reap by support vehicle. After some free time in the early afternoon we’ll regroup for a sunset cruise on the Tonle Sap and one of its floating villages which is possible year round.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor is home to the once-glorious capital cities of the Khmer Empire, whose powerful god-kings built lavish stone temples between the 9th and 15th centuries CE. Today, we discover Angkor’s most iconic sites by cycling along the manifold paths that pass by, lead to, and twist around the temples and ruins scattered across the plain. At Ta Prohm - brought to fame by the film “Tomb Raider” - we stumble across a tumbling façade of laterite and sandstone blocks draped by the massive roots of fig trees. At the Bayon - a temple built as a microcosm of the heavens - we marvel at the rows of godly faces carved into the temple towers and peering sublimely in all cardinal directions. And at Angkor Wat - the national symbol of Cambodia and the largest religious structure in the world - we stroll through the inner and outer courtyards decorated with excellently conserved carvings and bas-reliefs depicting Hindu myths, wars, life and death. We have a short vehicle transfer to get to the entrance of Angkor Wat and then return to Siem Reap by bike. With plenty of options to choose from, dinner is on your own tonight.
As the ideal sequel to the previous day, today’s focus will be getting further afield from the main sites at Angkor and leaving the touring masses behind. Departing Siem Reap by bike, we head north, initially on paved roads but soon transitioning to quiet dirt roads cutting through an expanse of rice fields and small villages. Along the way, we’ll pop into local houses for a close up look at some rural cottage industries, such as basket weaving and sugar palm production. Our ride ends at the 10th-century temple of Banteay Srey. Considered a jewel of Khmer artistry, Banteay Srey is renowned for its exquisite bas-reliefs carved into delicate, pink sandstone. We’ll have lunch at a local restaurant near the temple and then transfer back to Siem Reap, giving you the afternoon at leisure to relax by the pool, enjoy a massage, or explore the town of Siem Reap. For anyone with extra energy, you are welcome to skip the transfer and cycle back to Siem Reap instead (it is around 40 km along the main road). Tonight we dine at SPOONS, a social enterprise restaurant serving up authentic Khmer food and supporting the professional training of marginalized youth.
We’ll make the most of our final morning in Siem Reap with a farewell cycling loop through the rustic Cambodian countryside. The highlight of our ride is a visit to Phnom Bakong, a majestic 9th-century sandstone pyramid and one of the oldest Angkorian temples still standing. We’ll also stop at a newer Buddhist temple for a refreshment break and stimulate our senses with a stroll through a local fresh market, where a variety of produce, meats, and freshwater species are on sale. Back in Siem Reap by lunchtime, we’ll enjoy a final meal together and say our goodbyes. If you need assistance with post-tour hotel bookings in Siem Reap or airport transfers, please let us know.
Disclaimer: The adventure cycling tours we operate often go beyond the beaten track, and the countries where we ride are not always predictable. Due to these reasons, it is occasionally necessary to reroute or update itineraries. Our guarantee is that we will not change a trip unless for safety or to improve it.
