We pick you up from your hotel in Bangkok and head to the former Royal summer residence of Bang Pa-In Palace. After a casual stroll through its gardens, we cross the Chao Phraya for a nice riverside lunch. We then hop onto our bikes and ride on quiet local country roads towards Ayutthaya, a former capital of the Siamese Kingdom and now UNESCO World Heritage site. A great introductory day to Thailand's history!

After a short transfer, we will visit Wat Chaiyo Worawihan, where you'll encounter a magnificent 24-meter tall golden Buddha statue, adorned with intricate carvings and surrounded by ornate pagodas. We then start cycling northbound along the Chao Phraya, enjoy the peaceful scenery until our lunch break at a delicious local place. We have the option then to either transfer to our hotel or ride another 30kms to close the day.

Today starts with a tranquil ride to Hat Thanong, a village that specializes in knife-making using ancestral methods inherited over generations. We then hop into the van towards the walled city of Kamphaeng Phet, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. After lunch, we set for another short ride to Phra Ruang hot springs, a locals' favourite spot where we'll practice our Thai and let our legs rest in the warm water!

We start the day with leisurely cycling through the remnants of the old town as we learn about its rich history. Sukhothai flourished as a powerful and prosperous capital from the 13th to the 15th century. After lunch we transfer to the town of Phrae. We will visit Chao Luang House, a historic teakwood mansion built in the early 20th century. In the evening, the focus will shift to the renowned Phratu Chai Market to feast on local delicacies, savoury and sweet alike.

We get riding straight from our hotel today and up into the mountains. The road through Doi Pha Klong National Park is undulating and the 13 kms climb will make for the biggest ascent of the trip. We stop en route at the beautiful Huai Mae Ta Railway Bridge before heading towards the little and charming Wat Salaeng. With a history dating back to the 7th century, Lamphang is renowned for its well-preserved traditional architecture, and we will discover it when visiting the ancient, fortified temple of Wat Phra That Lampang Luang.

After breakfast we start with a 1-hour transfer to the start of our ride. We begin with a pleasant ride and then stop for coffee and a visit of the Lamphun Museum. We then cycle around Wat Phra That Haripunchai and then North along the Ping river through beautiful orchards with lychees, mangoes, jackfruits, and more! We keep riding through the ruins of Wiang Khum Kham. This takes us close to our hotel where we will celebrate our last day on the bike and head into Chiang Mai's walled city for a stroll through the night market.

The day is yours to visit the charming town of Chiang Mai and all the culture it has to offer, chill by the pool, have a massage or catch your next flight to the Southern beaches. You can also join us off the bike for a drive up to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a revered Buddhist temple dating back to the 14th century and overlooking the whole city of Chiang Mai. Note: the ride up and down Doi Suthep is an absolute pleasure for cyclists but requires a strong level of fitness as it is a 47 kms ride with 1,270 meters of ascent with no support vehicle!
