When planning a trip to Thailand, most people picture tropical beaches, bustling markets, and golden temples. But what if we told you the most memorable way to experience all of this... is from the saddle of a bike?
At LocalRoutes, our Thailand cycling tours are built around one key element: the freedom to ride, and truly connect with your surroundings. And for that, having the right bike makes all the difference.
Comfort, Reliability & Adventure: Our Bikes
Let’s be honest, no one wants a sore back or a flat tire ruining a perfect day of discovery (though we cannot guarantee they will not be any flat tire). That’s why we carefully selected a small fleet of hybrid, road, gravel and e-bikes suited to all kinds of riders and terrain. Our goal isn’t speed, it’s immersion. We ride at a relaxed pace, taking time to breathe, smile, taste a local snack, and say “hello” to a passing farmer. For that, we need bikes that are easy to handle, versatile, and perfectly fit for Thailand’s backroads.
Not a Pro Cyclist? Perfect.
You don’t need to be an athlete to join us. That’s why we also offer electric bikes which will give you an extra push when the sun is at its highest or when the hills get steeper. You’ll still be pedaling of course, but with a lot less effort and a lot more smiles.
Our e-bikes are perfect for families, groups of friends, or anyone who just wants to enjoy the journey without worrying about stamina.
What to Expect From Your Ride
From the moment you hop on, you’ll feel the difference:
Lightweight frames for easy pedaling
Comfortable saddles (no sore bottoms here!), but you’re welcome to bring your own
Gears suited to mixed terrain, from village paths to quiet countryside roads
Optional e-bikes with powerful motors, for a more relaxed experience
We provide helmets, handlebar bags for your small items, and well maintained equipment. You just have to show up, ready to ride.
Real Adventures, Real Connections
One of our favorite things is seeing guests surprised at how quickly they feel at ease on a bike, even if it’s been a while since their last ride. There’s a unique joy in riding in Thailand, where every turn brings something new.
Ready to ride ?
Cycling lets you connect with the country, its people, and yourself, in a way that’s hard to explain…
Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, a family or a group of friends, we’ll help you choose the right bike and the right tour for your kind of adventure.
Our Thailand cycling tours aren’t about performance—they’re about presence, about being in the moment. So if you're ready to explore the road less travelled, pedal with us. We’ll take care of the rest.
