Need Help - Touring 5-7 Days

[dagling]

Planning a 5-7 day tour here in North Thailand. Would be very nice if some of you could help us to plan this trip, we expect to run (cruiser bikes) 5-6 hours each day.

Good roads and fine hotels or resorts is a matter of course, need not be 5-star but clean and nice, maybe with a pool and possibility for a massage and a cold drink in the evening.

Have marked the picture where we have set for us to run inside, so all hope that you will be able to help us with the choice of path.

As you can see from the picture, so it's a big lake up in the nor-east part of the area we have set out, something good up there? Is this within the golden triangle?

Well, we will gather in Khon Kaen for departure when everything is ready planned. Will keep you updated with pictures and such when we finish the tour ;-)

Fantastic riding roads to the north and west of Khon Kaen. Head towards Lom Sak on Highway 12 or up to Loei on any number of roads. You won't be disappointed. Nam Nao National Park, Phu Hin Ron Kla National Park, Nan, the choices are quite endless. Recommend you sit down with your mates and look at the map. Decide how many km you want to ride per day and use that as a guide to get you started with your trip planning. If you want "western style" hotels then you should plan to stay in larger towns.

Happy Trails!

Thank`s Tony. We will do;-) Is it your youtube video? If it is, can I use it on my website?

Tony's right about the roads Nw of Kk, there are some cracking routes up that way! We're nowhere near the Golden Triangle I'm afraid, a good day's ride away, if not two.

Do you know anywhere you can hire your bikes from in Kk? Afraid I don't, a couple or three retailers but no hire shops. There used to be Lek Car Rental http://www.lekcarrentaludonthani.com here in Udorn, but he was losing interest in bike hire last time I spoke to him a couple of years ago. He was running 400cc Honda Shadows, it might be worth an email to see if he's still any hanging around?

We can't help you with bikes either I'm sorry to say, I only keep my personal machines here. The rest stay at our base in Chiang Mai, where our commercial tours are based from.

I am running a specialist tour in this area from 14th-21st Oct though if you're interested? A few guests who've been back with us on numerous occasions, and have turned into very good mates. Non-profit basis; offering this as a bit of a thank you for their continued loyalty over the years. You'd be more than welcome along on the same terms!
