Thanks for any help. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do a search on Google and you'll find many links. Top of the results was this one http://www.mekong-travel.com/cycle/thailand.htm but for anyone already in Thailand I reckon it is way overpriced. Also, I reckon distances are far too low and the itinerary too restrictive, but then again I used to be a competitive cyclist in the UK. Basically, this one is just a sightseeing tour on two wheels. I think it would be far better just to buy yourself a decent bike and plan the trip yourself. I wouldn't have any concerns about finding places to stay or breakdown problems. Of course, you should carry adequate spares. The only problems I can envisage are the heat and dogs. Other than that, I'm sure you would have a great time.

eastbaybob Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 If you do a google search you'll find a couple but as Brianbrain said its better to do it yourself. I've done a couple of 12 day tours in Thailand and could not invision using a tour organizer again. Thailand is just to easy not to do it on your own. I found the dogs to be highly overated, I was chased a few times but just short distances and the dogs backed down pretty quick when challanged. And the heat, its hot but after a couple of days you quickly get used to it. Now the sun is a different matter, either wear long sleave or use a lot of sun block and reapply every couple hours or your arms will look like mine. Good luck, cycling in Thailand is a fantastic experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dclaryjr Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Try Bangkok Hash House Bikershttp://www.bangkokbikehash.com/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cool! That ride near Khoa Yai looked interesting and that's near where I'm going to be living. I might have to hook up with that group.

airborn Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I know two Canadian guys who run an adventure travel company here in Thailand, and they do some mountain biking tours that I can highly recommend. Check out www.smilingalbino.com talk to Scott or Dan, and tell them Craig said hi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
