The Motorcycle & cultural extravaganza

We really excelled ourselves on this one and proud of it! ..
The survey tour of this route was November 2007 and if you're reading this between November and December 2007 we will actually still be surveying it.  Although the basics of the tour has been taken from previous routes this time we have included many more not so traveled routes and hopefully after the survey many new off road trails we have yet to map. In due course this page will be updated adding more detail and photos taken from the survey tour.

The best way to describe this tour is to read our north west loop and Golden Triangle combine the together, add a city break part way through the each tour and you have the makings of a simply awesome biking Holiday.  In the region of 3000 kilometers this is our biggest Thailand set tour to date and recommended to fit and active motorcyclist with good riding experience and with a sense of adventure.

Adventure Travelers

Let us invoke the discoverer in you...
Due tour unique style of changing our tours every season the February 2009 tour will be the last time we ride this route.  The following season we will introduce new regions from more survey tours but what this means to you is many of the places we travel  this season will be new to both our team and the people living along the routes.  Or touring philosophy is to  access places tourists rarely visit without altering or changing the local environment and we never "over ride a route".

A few long days in the saddle but, we have carefully balanced the tour of tough and relaxing days of urban and rural life with a few hidden surprises along the way.

"That wasn't in the brochure"

This tour and all our tours are classed as adventure tours and given the nature of an adventure motorcycle tour things never go to plan all the time.  Plans and routes often need to be altered here and there as we tour to take into consideration local conditions or deviate from the route to check out something new along the way.  We do not operate our tours in the same way many package tour companies operate so you wont be seeing red flags on the leaders bike, you wont be wearing name tags and you wont be herded like a flock of sheep.  When you ride with us you will become part of a team and any decisions to make deviations or alterations to the days schedules will be decided amongst the entire group.   

Aimed directly at...

Who will ride this tour
You would probably think a longer more demanding motorcycle tour would attract the younger age group but this is generally not the case.  We expect this tour to attract the mid to late age groups that are looking for an adventure motorcycle tour built around the culture and history of the region.

Our tours are more about the places we visit rather than the form of transport we use.  We use bikes because of the freedom the Motorbike offers and using Enduro style means we are easily able to  access the regions tourist rarely visit with ease.  There will be days spent riding off road however, you will not need to have previous experience in off road motorcycling.  In previous years we operated Enduro for beginner tours where our team would slowly introduce you to the joys of off roading giving tips on techniques along the way.  These tours were so successful we decided to make this style the backbone of our tours.   You do however need to be an experienced motorcyclist on road riding.
