Welcome to Chiang Mai, the “Rose of the North”! We meet at our tour hotel in the early afternoon and have a short transfer to the large archaeological site of Wiang Khum Kam (around 25 minutes) which contains many beautiful ruins in various stages of restoration. This is a great place to get used to our bikes and start the ride. From here, we follow the course of the Ping River south for about 15 km, cross a bridge, and loop back north along quiet roads lined by longan trees with their distinctive wide canopies. Upon returning back to the start point we transfer back to the city, reconvening in the evening for a welcome dinner. If you need help with airport transfers or pre-tour hotel bookings, just let us know.

-149mWe transfer around one hour south to the moated town of Lamphun. From here, we begin our long journey to Bangkok, starting with 50 km across the northern Thai countryside, dotted with rice paddies, longan farms, and jungle-clad mountains in the distance. After lunch near a historic railway bridge, we prepare for the day’s main challenge: a 10 km ascent through Khun Tan National Park. This climb features narrow, winding roads that cut through a dense forest, with steep gradients that may require us to push our bikes at times. By the 90 km mark, we’ll have mostly completed the ascent, leading into a long, rolling downhill into the Wang River Valley. Back in the plains, we have a final 20 km on winding back roads that take us to the stunning Wat Phrathat Lampang Luang, an impressive fortified and highly revered temple complex dating back to the 13th-century. Finally, it's just a short ride to our secluded riverside hotel south of Lampang.
Lampang River Lodge HotelBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 115km+886m-956mDeparting from our hotel, the first 30 km take us on quiet roads in the countryside of Lampang Province. We then merge onto a main throughway where the smooth tarmac allows for a more fast-paced journey. The road leads over the Baan Mai Pass, a 20 km ascent and descent surrounded by lush jungle foliage. Once we have come down, we turn north on a secondary road straddling the foothills of Phrae Province. At 70 km we’ll take a short detour to check out Thailand’s only Bavarian-style train station, built over a century ago by German engineers. As we continue, you may also be intrigued by roadside stalls selling bamboo products, a specialty of the area. We have a final – short but steep – climb into Doi Pha Klong National Park, known for its intriguing rock formations. Finally, we arrive in Phrae, the provincial capital, where we can see a beautifully restored 19th-century mansion, built at a time when Phrae was the center of the lucrative teak trade. For dinner, we head to the local night market.
Phoomthai Garden HotelBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 115km+1212m-1282mWe fast-track ourselves with a 1.5-hour transfer south into the heartland of Thailand’s first kingdom, Sukhothai, which thrived from the mid-13th to late 14th century. Despite this relatively short era, some of the most exquisite examples of early Thai art and architecture originate from this period. Over the next three days, we’ll delve into these historic landscapes, now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their cultural significance. Today’s ride begins with a pavement cruise through Sri Satchanalai, a satellite city of the Sukhothai Kingdom known for its ancient pottery kilns and well-preserved temple ruins. We then follow the course of the gently-flowing Yom River, passing a patchwork of villages and fertile farmland that hug its banks. Our destination is the modern town of Sukhothai where we are based for two nights. Today’s ride is entirely flat and on a mix of narrow, country lanes in varying conditions and well-paved secondary roads. We keep a relaxed pace, taking in our surroundings and stopping at a few standout temple ruins along the way.
Ruan Thai HotelBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 81km+282m-309mToday, we immerse ourselves in the illustrious capital of the Sukhothai Kingdom. Its legacy has profoundly shaped Thai culture, language, and religion, with influences still visible in modern society. Starting from our hotel, we briefly navigate city streets before transitioning to rural roads that lead us to Sukhothai Historical Park. This expansive area showcases an impressive array of temple ruins, fortifications, moats, and ponds connected by well-paved, lightly trafficked roads, perfect for cycling. While many sites can be appreciated from the saddle, we’ll make several stops for a closer look. Highlights include Wat Si Chum, home to an elegant seated Buddha statue, and Wat Mahathat, Sukhothai’s royal temple, featuring towering brick stupas and colonnades. Although the total cycling distance is just 35 km, we’ll spend the entire morning appreciating Sukhothai’s historical splendor. After lunch, you can choose to return to our hotel by van or cycle back along the main road (approximately 12 km). The afternoon is yours to relax by the pool, and we’ll reconvene later for dinner.
Ruan Thai HotelBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 35km+136m-128mWe start with a brief transfer to avoid retracing our steps from yesterday. Beginning at Sukhothai’s ancient moat, we ride along a tree-lined boulevard towards Ramkhamhaeng National Park. The gently rising, forested hills provide a pleasant backdrop for the first 30 km as we skirt along the edges of the National Park. The remainder of our journey takes us along peaceful secondary roads through a vast expanse of rice paddies. At around 60 km, we pass through Phran Kratai, a charming community with vintage wooden houses. Finally, we arrive in Kamphaeng Phet, known as the 'Diamond City' for its fortification walls from the Sukhothai Kingdom era. Before reaching our hotel, we’ll detour through this historical fortress, passing by walls and ruins embraced by tree roots.
Navarat Heritage HotelBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 93km+238m-216mToday’s ride takes us along the plains of the Ping River, all the way to the city of Nakhon Sawan, where it merges with the Nan to form the much-revered 'River of Kings,' the Chao Phraya. Departing from our hotel in Kamphaeng Phet, we quickly find ourselves on a provincial throughway that we’ll follow for most of today’s journey. Alternating between busier and quieter sections, the road cuts through a broad swathe of rice-covered central plains, exposing an interesting cross-section of rural life in Thailand. The smooth tarmac allows for a fast-paced ride, challenging your endurance as we cover nearly 140 km. We stop regularly for refreshments and have lunch along the way. Before reaching our hotel in Nakhon Sawan, we make a short but worthwhile detour to an avant-garde art installation marking the meeting point of the Ping and Nan Rivers, forming the Chao Phraya, which will be our companion for the remainder of the tour!
Bonito Chinos ResortBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 135km+501m-551mAnother long and rewarding ride in the Central Plains awaits. The first 20 km out of Nakhon Sawan can be a bit busy, but it quiets down as we venture deeper into the network of rural roads connecting the towns and villages of this fertile rice-growing region. At the 60 km mark, we cross a scenic bridge over the Chao Phraya, bringing us to the river's east side for the first time. Long stretches of beautiful roads hug the riverbank, offering glimpses into the slower-paced, waterborne lifeways of the people here. The final 50 km take us along a canal road to Singburi, the provincial capital, where we’ll spend the night at a riverside hotel. Today, we’ve crossed through 4 of Thailand’s 76 provinces – Nakhon Sawan, Uthai Thani, Chai Nat, and Singburi – no small feat!
Chaisaeng Palace HotelBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 142km+596m-614mToday’s century ride takes us across hallowed ground, traversing a temple-dotted landscape steeped in centuries of Buddhist spirituality. First, at around 25 km, we visit Wat Chaiyo, a temple complex housing a colossal gilded Buddha statue, commissioned by one of Thailand’s most revered monks. While the statue stands impressively at 20 metres tall, it pales in comparison to the much-larger-than-life seated Buddha at Wat Muang, which we encounter around the 50 km mark. The towering figure, nearly 100 metres tall, stands in the open and is visible from miles away. As we hop from temple to temple, we ride along secondary roads and occasionally zip down major roads through the agrarian hinterland, where hints of industrialization signal our growing proximity to Bangkok. Finally, at the end of our ride, we arrive in Ayutthaya, Siam’s once-glorious capital just north of Bangkok, where further holy sites await discovery. We check in at a well-appointed city hotel and have the afternoon to relax, saving our exploration of Ayutthaya for the next morning.
Krungsri River HotelBreakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Ride 100km+374m-373mThis morning, we uncover the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ayutthaya, exploring the ruins of Siam’s former capital. Nearly destroyed during a war with the Burmese in the late 18th century, Ayutthaya captivates with its faded remnants of former glory. We weave through the city by bike, visiting standout monuments like Wat Mahathat, famous for the Buddha head entwined in tree roots, the trio of stupas at Wat Si Sanphet, and the grand Hindu temple of Wat Chaiwatthanaram. We then head further south, making our way along backroads through diverse riverside villages where Buddhist and Muslim communities live side-by-side. Around 30 km in, we take a short ferry across the Chao Phraya River and pause near Bang Pa-In Palace, once a summer retreat for Siam’s globalising monarchs, blending traditional Thai architecture with Chinese and European influences. For the home stretch, we follow a canal road for about 25 km to the northern outskirts of Bangkok. We saddle off and transfer for about 1.5 hours to our hotel in the city, reconvening in the evening for a celebratory farewell dinner!

BreakfastDisclaimer: 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. Our listed hotels are always accurate at the time of writing, but should we have to change any hotel, it will always be for a similar or better one.

We ride a total of 915 km over 10 cycling days. Beginning in the mountainous north of Thailand means that the first three days include plenty of climbs. Make sure to arrive well-rested and trained. Once we reach the Central Plains by day 4, however, the terrain remains predominantly flat all the way to Bangkok. We ride on a combination of secondary roads, on the shoulders of main roads and, occasionally, on narrow rural lanes in varying conditions. A highlight of the tour are long stretches of riding through Thailand’s scenic countryside. While this is not a touring-focused trip, we do stop at plenty of temples and other sites along the way, giving particular attention to the incredible ruins at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sukhothai. Most of our rides are point to point with just a few transfers here and there (please see descriptions in the itinerary on days 1, 2, 4, 6 and 10). Accommodations range from deluxe, character-rich properties to more basic hotels, but they are always comfortable and often amongst the best available.
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 tour is best suited for experienced road cyclists capable of handling long, back-to-back, riding days. Days 2 & 3 feature challenging passes with steep gradients, but the remainder of the route is almost entirely flat. While there is no full rest day, on day 5 we have an easy morning on the bikes to discover Sukhothai Historical Park and the afternoon is at leisure. Less experienced riders are welcome but should prepare themselves in advance to manage the long distances at a reasonable pace. The support vehicle is always nearby to offer refuge to any weary cyclists.
Biking Conditions: The majority of the route is along excellently paved roads well suited for road biking. We ride on quiet secondary roads as much as possible but there are regular stretches on busier main roads as well. Occasionally, we also veer onto narrow country lanes where potholes, road debris, and patches of gravel can be common. We have chosen the least busy roads possible but please be aware that traffic can be unpredictable and, especially near the cities and towns, unavoidable. While we have scheduled our departures to avoid the wettest months of year, showers can occur at any time. We generally ride rain or shine though, based on the guide’s discretion or your level of comfort, modifications to the planned route can be made. It’s all part of the adventure!

Our listed hotels are always accurate at the time of writing, but should we have to change any hotel, it will always be for a similar or better one.
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 road bike in good mechanical order.
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.
