Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Luang Prabang, Laos, were once the centers of powerful kingdoms in the highlands of Southeast Asia. Today, these two cities—steeped in rich cultural heritage—are must-sees on any travel itinerary to the region. Connecting them by bike takes you off the beaten path, through jungle-clad mountains, along meandering rivers, past glimmering Buddhist temples, and into remote ethnic villages. Over the course of 11 exhilarating days, we travel by road, trail, and boat to explore the north’s picturesque landscapes and captivating cultures.
Starting from bustling Chiang Mai, we warm up in the flat plains surrounding the Ping River before venturing deeper into the hilly terrain of northern Thailand. We ride along gravel trails and backcountry roads, visit the sacred Chiang Dao Caves, and unwind at a riverside hotel by the Mae Kok River. Next, we weave through hilltribe country to reach the city of Chiang Rai before cycling along the banks of the Mekong River to the border with Laos. This mighty river becomes our home for a couple of hours as we cruise by slow boat from the Laos border to the village of Pakbeng. Following this, we embark on a series of leg-testing days on remote national roads, surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, and overnight in quaint riverside towns. One more scenic boat journey takes us to Nong Khiaw along the Nam Ou River, followed by a final long and winding ride into the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Luang Prabang. This enchanting city is renowned for its classic temples, colonial architecture, and Old World charm. The tour concludes in Luang Prabang.

Northern Thailand is the country’s premier gravel biking destination. On this 11-day tour from Chiang Mai to the banks of the mighty Mekong River, we layer our tires with grit on the region's fabulous dirt and gravel trails before shaking it off with fast-paced zips on smooth, paved roads. We satisfy the craving for the burn on leg-testing climbs before relishing the thrill of wrist-clenching descents. We discover lush valleys and highlands filled with rice paddies, mango orchards, tea plantations, coffee farms, and teak trees while exploring a rich multi-cultural heritage shaped by Thai and hilltribe traditions.
Meeting in the city of Chiang Mai, the cultural capital of the north, the tour is divided into four main stages:
Stage 1: Valleys of the North. The first five days involve hopping across three broad valleys - Chiang Mai, Chiang Dao, and Fang – for some fabulous backcountry cycling. Highlights include long stretches of gravel tracks through rice fields and fruit farms, ascents and descents through wild greenery, and views over some of Thailand’s tallest mountains.
Stage 2: The Highlands. After a night at a riverside hotel in the town of Tha Ton, we coil our way up a well-paved road to the mountaintop village of Mae Salong, renowned for its oolong tea and Chinese heritage.
Stage 3: Chiang Rai. On Day 7, we rise and fall with the contours of hills covered in cornfields and follow the Mae Kok River to reach the iconic White Temple. We have a rest day in Chiang Rai, a charming city with plenty on offer to fill a relaxed day.
Stage 4: The Mekong. We ride through the backwaters of Chiang Rai Province to the famed Golden Triangle, where the borders of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos converge at the confluence of the Mekong River, which we follow south to end the tour in the sleepy border town of Chiang Khong.

This bike journey — much like Thailand's geography and history — is shaped by the flow of rivers. In the north, the Ping descends from the mountains into Chiang Mai. In the Central Plains, the Yom meanders through the ancient landscape of Sukhothai, while the Ping and Nan rivers converge to create the mighty Chao Phraya, the River of Kings. In the Mae Klong Delta, the rivers fan out and spill into the Gulf of Thailand. Along these valleys and plains, expansive rice paddies, villages, towns, and remnants of once-powerful empires come to life. Over 14 days, we wind along scenic backcountry roads for an in-depth exploration of what has made Thailand — the so-called “Land of Smiles” — the vibrant country it is today. With manageable daily distances, limited climbing, and plenty of off-saddle exploration, plus delectable Thai cuisine and cosy accommodations (many along rivers!), this is the ideal tour for those seeking an active yet immersive Thai holiday.
We start in Chiang Mai, exploring this storied city by bike before heading south through the rustic countryside of “Lanna” (the local name for northern Thailand). Along the way, we discover glittering temples, charming heritage towns, and an agrarian world shaped by Buddhist and animist beliefs. Next, we venture into the heartland of the ancient Sukhothai Empire, visiting its UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the grand capital and its pottery-producing satellite city of Sri Satchanalai, as well as the military fortress of Kamphaeng Phet. Riding through Thailand’s rice basket, we follow the Chao Phraya River, flanked by expansive paddy fields stretching to the horizon. By day 9, we reach Ayutthaya, where the UNESCO-listed ruins of the former Siamese capital offer a faded reminder of past glory. We then veer west into Kanchanaburi, where jungle-clad mountains loom over the plains of the historic River Kwai. The last leg of our journey takes us to the Mae Klong Delta, home to Thailand’s most famous floating market and endless coconut farms. Afterward, we transfer to Bangkok for a final ride through an urban oasis before bidding farewell over dinner aboard a converted rice barge cruising along the River of Kings. The tour concludes in Bangkok.
Join us on this eye-opening ride into the heart and soul of Old-World Siam!
