Our tours presently start in Bangkok , where you participate in a full day escorted tour .
The following day we fly onto Chiang Mai in the north ; flights are organised so that we arrive in Chiang Mai mid-afternoon , which allows you plenty of time to enjoy the unique Chiang Mai Sunday market ; filled with delicious local foods and crafts .

From there we do a one day familiarisation ride to Samoeng (commonly known as The Samoeng Loop) before returning to Chiang Mai for the night.
Next is our 4 day ride to Pai , Mae Hong Son , Doi Inthanon and back to Chiang Mai .
A day off in Chiang Mai , before returning to Bangkok and …… home .
We ride mainly bitumen roads , which are mostly in excellent condition .
The infrastructure in Thailand surprises a lot of our guests ; there is good public transport in Bangkok , and there are good country roads in Northern Thailand where we ride .
The traffic is busy around Chiang Mai , but once we head out of the city the congestion disappears .
We stop at elephant refuge camps , water falls , naturally heated water springs (don’t forget your bathers !) roadside eateries , scenic lookouts and many more places of interest .
Accommodation is authentic , quality ‘Thai style’ .
Every guest on every tour has commented on how impressive the accommodation has been . We spend a lot of time and put a lot of research into finding accommodation that truely represents traditional Thai housing .
