This road cycling odyssey takes you through a lesser-travelled region of Southeast Asia, immersing you in the vibrant and multicultural landscapes of southern Thailand and peninsular Malaysia. We ride into the backwaters of the Andaman Sea coast, wind through vast oil palm plantations, uncover heritage-infused towns, and ascend into lush, jungle-clad highlands. Along the way, we observe a cultural shift as the serene chants of Buddhist monks give way to the melodic call to prayer from Muslim mosques, while witnessing how centuries of trade, conquest and migration have shaped the lifestyles and cuisines of the Malay Peninsula.
Starting in Thailand’s Krabi Province, the first four days of our journey take us south to the Malaysian border. Highlights include peaceful rides through palm-studded countryside, a stay near the serene beach of Pak Meng, and a boat trip to a natural rock fortress rising from the ocean. After crossing into Malaysia, we pedal through the rice-rich plains and along the shores of the Straits of Malacca, arriving in George Town. Here, a rest day allows us to explore this UNESCO Heritage town, with its multi ethnic-blend of architecture and street food. The tour reaches its literal peak with an epic, leg-testing climb into the Cameron Highlands, offering stunning views of forested mountains and terraced tea plantations. Finally, we descend back into the lowlands and enter Malaysia’s bustling capital, Kuala Lumpur (KL, as the locals call it), through the backdoor, saddling off at the iconic Batu Caves. The tour ends in Kuala Lumpur.
Join us on this multi-layered, multi-cultural road biking adventure from Thailand to Malaysia!

The north of Thailand was my FAVOURITE. I loved the diverse range of 'stays' which kept it exciting and much like an adventure and showed what Thailand had to offer. The Jungle Raft on the second night was an essential bonding experience for the group and allowed us to build friendships and enjoy the trip way more than if we hadn't had that crucial opportunity to connect. The included experiences, free time add ons, and even trip manager suggestions were all top tier! I didn't regret a single experience. 2 night stays were also a relief as travelling can get quite tiring and found that their timing was essential.

A varied trip, covered lots of interesting cities/towns. Tour leader, Mally, was passionate about her country of Malaysia and was always cheerful and full of enthusiasm. She introduced us to many local food courts which we wouldn't have found independently. Perhaps an extra day in Penang instead of Kuala Lumpur would be good
