Mountain-bike touring in Thailand Question: I'm thinking about a bike tour in Thailand in November. I'd like some feedback on what to expect in regards to road conditions, terrain, and any general information. If anyone's ever done a tour there I'd love to hear about it. Doug Lange
Most big cities have bike shops, but word is they only carry Japanese or locally made parts, so you might want to bring your own. Thailand Cycling Club (2-241-2023) in Bangkok is a good resource for bike tours and clubs around the country. A number of American companies do 8- to 9-day mountain biking tours in Thailand. Most of them ride through the northern hilltribe country and make stops in Karen, Yao, and Hmong villages along the way. Call Maluku Adventures (415-731-2560), Adventure Center (510-654-1879), Asian Pacific Adventures (213-935-3156), or Backroads (510-527-1555). |
