We never thought Hill Tribe Villages like this still existed!
Find out why we will probably NEVER visit this place again!
Why never again?
During our 2007 survey tour we came across the village depicted in the picture (left) and this was the most awesome village we have ever visited!The riding was very difficult to reach and when we arrived we understood why it is purposely kept difficult after speaking with the headman. This village are a minority sub group of the Karen hill tribe but with many major differences.
They have preferred to stay apart from the outside world ignoring borders and not wanting any modern luxuries. All Vegans, hence the only village we have ever entered without any livestock whatsoever and, everyone in the village totally abstain from Alcohol or any addictive substances.
During 2007 with the exception of our group they had a total of 6 visitors 2 westerners and 4 Thai NGO's. When a group of bikers turned up unexpected we were welcomed with pen arms however, we were asked that next time we visit to only come with 2-3 in total. What this means is we are only visiting this village on our tailor made tours with experienced capable riders and groups of no more than 3 including the guide. That limits things a little. If you would like to visit this village please contact us

Tour Movies
by AdminFinally we have released our first ever tour video. Ok, it's hardly eligible for an Oscar but, we are sure you will get a good idea of what our tours are like!
New Changes
by AdminAs you may have read from our home page there are many changes in the pipe line all geared around making it easier, more affordable and with much greater flexibility in getting out on the roads in Thailand riding bikes.
Most of these enhancements are actually in place already but not showing on our website and we will tell you why. To accommodate everything we have had to design and build a brand new interactive website. The new site is being worked on now and should be ready for uploading at the end of October BUT what we are touring throughout that month and feel a bit reluctant to upload a complex site while we are out riding in the mountains of Thailand. So we are going to try to get it online 2nd week of December giving us 2 weeks to get it just right before we are out touring again over the Christmas and New Year period.
In the meantime please contact us about any tour that is not fully mentioned on this site.
