This is Thailand’s most popular road cycling journey, and for good reason! There’s nothing quite like gliding along excellently paved roads that snake past tropical shorelines, savoring delicious Thai cuisine, and enjoying the world-renowned hospitality of the Land of Smiles. From the coconut groves and sandy beaches along the Gulf of Thailand, through the ancient rainforest of Khao Sok National Park, and on to the Andaman Coast, road bike touring in Thailand simply doesn’t get better than this. We meet in Bangkok and whisk ourselves away to the countryside for a gentle warm-up ride leading to the quiet coastal area of Pranburi. From there, we ride south along the Gulf of Thailand shoreline, passing the limestone cliffs of Sam Roi Yot and hopping from one scenic headland to the next. Our route regularly veers inland through an agrarian world of coconut, palm oil and rubber plantations interspersed with exotic fruit orchards. On day 6 we trade white sands for green jungle as we cycle to Khao Sok National Park, home to a massive karst-studded lake and one of the world’s oldest rainforests. After making our way across the peninsula’s hilly spine, we roll down towards the Andaman Sea, soaking in the Old-World charm of Takua Pa, a historic tin-mining town, before planting our feet in the sun-kissed sands of Khao Lak Beach. A final zip down the Andaman Coast leads us to Phuket, where we conclude our ride with the iconic crossing of the Sarasin Bridge. The tour ends with a night in Phuket.Join us on this legendary road cycling journey from Bangkok to Phuket, where cyclists come for the challenge and fall in love with the charm of Thailand’s coasts!
