Small Group Sizes

One of the common complaints from experienced riders that have taken a motorbike tour previously were they unknowingly joined a large group of riders of mixed abilities meaning the days rides were often broken up by regular stops allowing slower riders to catch so therefore not covering as much ground as they were hoping.

We ourselves have toured with other motorbike tour groups for our own pleasure in many countries around the world with group sizes of 8, 12 and even 18 riders in the group and this to us is blatant 'cashing in' from the tour company seemingly in the business just to make a quick buck without any care for the pleasure of the customer.

After our past experience of riding with other motorbike tour companies one of our goals when setting up Motorbike Thailand was to offer professional tours geared towards maximum pleasure rather than just the end profit and because of this philosophy we have an outstanding customer return rate with many of our customers recommended by past tour members.

One thing you can be sure of is every group with Motorbike Thailand will be carefully balanced to ensure each member of the group is of equal riding ability and each tour will never have any more than 6 tour customers.  Because of this we are able to cover more ground and our tours are fluid rather than stopping regularly for slower riders.  One other important aspect of having small groups is the time saved on tedious tasks...Fuel stops for many bikes can be a drawn out affair but more importantly our evenings are far more entertaining with small manageable groups; 'More like a group of friends on a biking holiday rather than a bunch of people in a tour group'!

 

What They Said

We went on an off road tour with Motorbike Thailand from the 19th to the 26th of July.  As Andy said; "each day would be more challenging than the last"  and he was certainly true to his word. Every single day was more challenging culminating in us having lunch with representatives of the Sham army 1500m up a mountain.  I have to say the trip was exceptional and i will definitely be back next year. The bikes and accommodation were both great along with the camaraderie between all the guys. One of the expectational aspects of the week was that Andy really made an effort to teach, particularly Michel and I how to ride a bike properly both on and off the road. I will always take inspiration from his "get you r f**ing feet on the pegs when I am next sliding down a hill of mud on a bike.  Cheers guys for a great week!  Mark (Hong Kong near the outskirts of Scotland)
