Return
Trace the Gulf of Thailand, cycling through two national parks and ride across the country to the Andaman coast. Along the way, you’ll stop at deserted beaches and tiny villages that few tourists get to see. On day four, you’ll have the satisfaction of cycling more than 70km, followed by a full day of rest in a poolside beach lodge.
Much of the route is on quiet backroads, and you be riding in a small group on top quality bikes. There are a few gentle inclines and occasional sections on busier roads, but drivers are very considerate and the support vehicle is on hand if you need it. A boat trip to Prahya Nakhon Cave adds to the variety and, on day six, you'll sleep beneath the soaring peaks of Khao Sok National Park – the largest virgin forest in Southern Thailand. Your adventure finishes on the beautiful island of Phuket.
