The spectacular Northern Reaches of Thailand

The infamous Golden Triangle the geographical meeting place for Burma, Laos and Thailand
IMPORTANT UPDATE (October 3rd 2008)

Bikes for this tour will be Brand New Kawasaki KLX 250's pre-launch 2009 Models.  Due to a cancellation this tour now has only 1 place remaining at a special price of 700.00 GBP Saving 85.00 off the normal price!. To get this price bookings must be in with deposit paid by 25th October 2008! 

Our journey will take us around 1500 kilometers riding the side routes on roads generally regarded as too winding and steep for most tourists but, for the keen biker our routes offer spectacular scenery with barely another road user to be found.  Glorious sweeping bends with perfect cambers to lean the bike gently through the jungles, quant hill tribe villages in quintessential Northern Thailand countryside. People have called this pure motorbike heaven and with roads equal (we say better) to European standards. This is biking at it's purest!   

Your tour will take you through many diverse regions riding routes parallel with the Burmese and Laos border into the infamous golden triangle previously regarded as one of the leading centers for opium production in the world, orchestrated by the infamous 'Khun Sa" one of the worlds most wanted drug warlords. Known as the 'golden triangle' as all drug deals were made in gold! But, this was in previous years!

Today, life is far more relaxed! The days of drug and Gun dealing are no longer however, some of the region is now under siege by camera toting tourists rather than gun slinging criminals. But, our tours are not about reaching regions where mainstream tourists travel! Sure, we will meet a few tourists here and there but, we prefer to ride off the tourist routes getting you to regions where many people only get to see on postcards!
    

Nature & Diversity

Peace, quiet and pure natural surroundings
Nature is the keyword on this motorcycle tour riding in magnificent natural surroundings especially our visit into Phu Chi Fah forest where we stay one evening 1700 meters above sea level in glorious surroundings with an early morning wake up call we head up to the view point for a spectacular view above the clouds looking across the mountains of Thailand to the west and Laos to the east.   

We couldn't ride onto this region without a visit to the Golden Triangle where the borders of 3 countries are guarded by the mighty Mekong river weaving it's way down from southern China through the Golden triangle down to the lower delta in Vietnam.  The Mekong is the lifeline for this whole region feeding south east Asia with essential goods bringing food and supplies from China but most importantly fish from the river itself including the Giant Mekong Catfish.

As always are tours are more about the region, the people and the nature of the country rather than the bike ride itself but don't be mislead....This trip offers one of the best bike rides in the world through spectacular surroundings in a cultural diverse region.
