Scottythai Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Anyone else feel this is the best bike week in Thailand? Not only is the ride to Chiang Mai one of the best, but it holds the most fun and coolest crowds? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubberSideDown Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I seriously doubt I'll make it, but a bare-minimum of info regarding it (dates, location, etc) would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastafarian Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 There is also a very large bike event taking place in Chiang Rai Dec 4-7 so you could combine the two, great riding roads in north Thailand and beautiful weather that time of year.

yankee99 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Let me say cm is a great place to ride. As far as the bike week or the actual event its a Joke. The main area is a fenced in lot with a stage and lots of vendors selling their goods. It is not very big and there is a admission charge which was high for what you get. There was also a scheduled ride where they took us to a nice dam and some country roads. This was also a disaster as there was a lot of cities to pass through and it was led by a police car at extreme slow speeds. this is my take ymmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did manage to ride to Pai one morning then to Chiang Rai the next day. Great area and time of year to be on a bike. I didn't mind the bike week. It was much better than Phuket or Pattaya by far in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
