Itinerary

Day 1

We meet in the early afternoon and heat out for a relaxed warm-up ride in the outskirts of Chiang Mai. In the evening we reconvene for a welcome dinner.

Day 2

We follow the Ping River and ride flat roads through rice paddies and longan farms. After lunch near a pretty railway bridge, we tackle a steep climb through Khun Than National Park. Finally, we roll into the plains, visit an ancient fortified temple, and reach our riverside hotel in Lampang.

Day 3

We begin on flat rural roads, but the terrain gets hillier as we cross into Phrae Province via the main throughway. We then follow a secondary road north, navigating the countryside and a few more hills before reaching the quaint provincial capital, once the center of the lucrative teak trade.

Day 4

We transfer 1.5 hours south where we begin our ride through the ancient landscape of Sri Satchanalai, known for its still discernible pottery kilns and temple ruins. We then follow the Yom River to the town of Sukhothai where we are based for two nights.

Day 5

Today is an easy day on the bikes as we explore the stunning Sukhothai Historical Park. We ride along roads connecting ancient temples and stop to admire some of the most impressive ruins. The afternoon is free to relax by the pool.

Day 6

We skirt around the forested slopes of Ramkhamhaeng National Park and ride through a vast expanse of rice paddies. Our destination is Kamphaeng Phet, a military fortress from the Sukhothai Era, featuring fortification walls entwined with tree roots.

Day 7

Look out for water buffaloes wallowing in a puddle and for ducks taking a dip in a rice field as we ride towards Nakorn Sawan.

Day 8

Cycle on back roads that pass through many small towns.

Day 9

We reach the old Siamese capitol of Ayutthaya - the centre of old Siam for over 400 years until it was sacked by the Burmese in 1767 - and visit the temples by bicycle.

Day 10

Taking country roads we stop at Bang Pa-In, the former summer palace of King Chulakorn, before transferring to our hotel on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok.

Day 11

Free last day of tour.
