Availability - Best Time To Travel
As with all our motorbike tours this tour only operates between November and February when the local conditions are optimum for this type of tour. The absolute perfect time is December and January.
Is It Right For You...
This motorcycle holiday is designed specifically for off road experienced riders you need to be able to handle a bike off road in almost any situation. You don't need to be a superstar though! - We can alter routes on the fly if your group want to us to but if that would be a question for you maybe check out our Chilled Jungle Tour and we'll adpat that to your needs.
The most important requirement is for all the group to ride as a group looking after your fellow riders and helping out if needed - The tour operates in Hill tribe country in very remote regions some mostly inaccessible even by 4x4 and being so close to the Burma border is controlled by the Thai army - 'That wasn't in the brochure" is a very common remark!!! Be prepared for anything and everything!
Chiang Mai
You'll get private accommodation for the 2 nights in Chiang Mai unless you want to share with someone.
On Tour
You'll be riding in regions with very little tourist infastructure therefore, due to limited availability of accommodation we ask all members of the group to share rooms when on tour - We can arrange non sharing if you really need it depending on your group size but you would need to contact us about this when we plan your tour.
All rooms on tour are all Thai owned usually by local resdients wooden chalet style usually individual buildings, hill tribe lodges and small boutique resorts with some being a highlight of the tour.

Food
You simply cannot go wrong with eating in Thailand though watch out for those chillies!
During the riding section of the tour (day 2 to 7) we cover your breakfast and lunch. - Remember we are travelling in the extremely remote regons so our only choices are local roadside eateries usually selling BBQ pork, fried rice,noodles etc but we can only stop at those type of places when we are close to a town.

Some days we'll be deep in the Thai jungles with no access to any restaurants at all - On those days we carry basic food similar to wartime rations (place smiley emoticon here) usually noodles when we can get the hill tribes to boil up water for us but considering they have no electricity or solar power thats not always an easy task. Please remember on some days the routes are totally inaccessible to anything other than dirt bikes or boats - You may get a few hunger attacks on those days but trust us -It all comes good eventually.
Riding Gear
Our motorcycle tours are for experienced riders only so assumed you would have decent riding gear suitable for this type of tour - We understand how much of a pain it can be to pack full motorbike gear for international travel but we simply cannot hold enough riding gear to fit so many sizes but let's be honest, do you really want to wear second hand gear multiple people have worn previoulsy in humid jungle conditions?
Full off road riding gear is required for protection - All our staff will be fully geared up! Body protection including elbows, knees and chest, Proper off road boots, full face helmets and gloves. We'll go into more detail when you reserve your dates.
Sight seeing off the bikes
This is a pure adventure tour getting you to regions many people would never experience - Hill tribe communities cut off from the mainstream, jungle waterfalls, pure unadulterated organic nature and most importantly the ride which is simply incredible! - We avoid manufactured tourists traps on our tours and with this tour it's very easy as there is none and why so many people book this tour.
If you were looking to experience more off the bikes you may wish to look at our chilled Jungle tour Or our Dual Terrain tour operating in slightly less remote locations but with more option to do something off the bikes.
