Responsible Travel

Our aim is to offer guided, small group motorbike adventure tours for motorcyclists looking to discover the 'Real Thailand', away from the traditional 'package tour group' trails and, overdeveloped locations. On our Motorbike tours we stay in small, family-run hotels and guesthouses, eat in local restaurants and use local transport as much as possible. In addition all local guides and agencies used are considered friends rather than 'business contacts'. The idea being that you will visit as guests rather than as tourists.

The tourism industry can be a double edge sword and known to either make or break a local community in terms of ecology, financial. also human and animal rights issues.  Traveling to a remote region in a far flung corner of the world to see and do things that you would never normally have the opportunity to do at home is at the top of most travelers lists however it is also very important that tourists understand the often damaging affects they can have on the local communities they visit however,  getting the knowledge of what you should and shouldn't do can be a laborious task.

What They Said

Cathy and I talked about this trip on the way home, and we're both in agreement that this Thailand trip has been the most fun out of all we've taken.  Every aspect of it was enjoyable. You guys were not only professional, but totally cool to hang out with, riding or not.  I particularly enjoyed the informal history lessons for every area we rode through.  And we would both like to thank you for encouraging us out of our comfort zone (street), and onto the dirt roads.  I'm starting to feel like street riding is  fun and cool, but off-road would be a lot more fun!

I hope having two female riders hasn't discouraged you off from having more in the future.  Honestly, I was kind of worried that we would not be tough enough for you guys, or that we'd whine too much about girl things, like bugs.  I'm definitely coming back for another ride, and I'm going to take off-road lessons!
