Event Details Section

This tour takes in the western coastline of the country. It’s a scenic and aweinspiring adventure with seemingly endless beach views. You’ll ride through quaint little villages and rest in world-class resort areas prominent for their natural attractions and beauty. Most roads are flat and fast with only a few areas of climbing or hills.

Explore the culture along the coasts and beaches. Local residents are relaxed and friendly as they are used to the slow pace of living near the beaches. It is a decidedly slower way of life in dire contrast to the hustle and buzz of life in Bangkok.
You’ll be able to take in some spectacular coastline scenery, be surrounded by statuesque peaks, and wiggle your toes in Thailand’s soft and warm sand. The tour
has a great variety of riding.

Day 1 – Bankok to Petchaburi to Hua Hin Ride. Ride 60-80 km
We meet at a Bangkok hotel before we transfer down to the starting point in Petchaburi (approx 2 hours). This ride is a gentle start to the trip as we head out of Petchaburi and into the rural Thailand complete with paddy fields fringed by palm trees. We will ride along the beach into Cha-am and then onto Hua Hin. L,D

Day 2 – Hua Hin to Prachuap Khiri Khan Ride. Ride 105 km
We head out of Hua Hin, towards Sam Roi Yot (300 hundred peaks) national park; this Park has spectacular limestone formations similar to Krabi. We ride on quiet back roads alongside beaches with many of the 300 peaks in the background. After the park, we have a short ride on the main road for about 20km before heading back to the coast passing many small villages on the way. The final section is along the beach to Prachuap Khiri Khan. The selected hotel has some great views. The town is well known for having some of the finest seafood in Thailand. B,L,D

Day 3 – Prachuap Khiri Khan – Ban Krut Ride. Ride 78 km
We leave the hotel and ride along the beach front and side roads for about 12km before hitting the main road. This section is 45km with the option to transfer if required. We then head inland past some of the most stunning beaches in Thailand. We are now well away from the main tourist areas and the roads are quiet and in good condition. Our overnight stay is on one of the prettiest beaches you will see with soft sand, palm trees, and hammocks to relax in after a fantastic ride. We might even have the beach to ourselves. B,L,D

Day 4 – Ban Krut to Chumpon Ride. Ride 118 km We will come across very little traffic, and the roads are all in excellent condition. We stay
pretty much riding along the coast today as we pass through several other beach resorts. The whole day we have views of the sea to the left and the mountains to the right. This is a classic ride. We end the ride just north of Chumpon, at another secluded and quiet beach.

Day 5 Chumpon. Ride 0 km
This is a rest day – you’ve earned it. Spend it relaxing at the beach all day or however you wish. B

Day 6 - Chumpon to Ranong Ride. Ride 121.5 km
We ride over to the west coast today and after about 60 km, we start to head south. You’ll notice a marked change in the scenery as we leave the beach side and head into the lush jungle clad mountains that surround this area. We pass alongside the Isthmus of Kra, and at
many points along the way, we are only separated from Burma by this stretch of water. The road twists and turns, has some undulations and makes for some great varied riding. There is a climb of about 3km starting at the Pun Ya Ban waterfall flat all the way to Ranong. This
is a spa town and the hotel has a hot springs pool to soothe those aching muscles. B,L,D

Day 7 Ranong – Khuraburi Ride Ride 137 km
We ride through valleys today so the road will undulate but nothing too serious. It’s just enough to make the ride interesting. This valley has fantastic vistas at every turn. We have a climb of approx 2.5km with small hills for a good portion of this ride. The ride ends in a great
little resort in amongst the jungle. B,L,D

Day 8 - Kuraburi to Khao Lak Ride Ride 89 Km
We continue passing through the valleys as we head south to the very picturesque Khao Lak (one of the worst areas hit by the Tsunami but remarkable to see how quickly this area has bounced back). The ride undulates and twists and turns out of the resort. The road flattens
out as we get to Takua Pa, which is a Sino Portuguese settlement. Then we ride around the side of the town and the scenery changes again as we come out of the mountains.  B L D

Day 9 - Khao Lak to Phuket Ride. Ride 125 km
The last leg of the tour brings us to the tropical paradise of Phuket island, Thailand’s largest island. A couple of small hills to get out of the Khao Lak area and then it’s flat all the way down to Phang Nga and Phuket. This road is of excellent quality and fast. Phuket is connected
by a bridge to the mainland, and we can ride all the way down to our hotel. If we decide to ride all the way to Karon beach, there is a very scenic coastal road but there are a few small but steep hills on the way. The views are well worth the extra effort. B,L,D

Day 10 Free Day.
We can arrange extensions on the beach or arrange for you to be transferred back to the airport for onward flights. B only
