Itinerary

You will be picked up from your hotel as scheduled and brought to the starting point of the trip outside the city. After a short safety briefing we start our exploration of the Thai countryside. We cycle on quiet roads and ride alternately along rice fields, canals, orchards and fields with a wide variety of agricultural crops. We will stop regularly so you can get better acquainted with the local population and its agrarian culture. This tour gives you a clear picture of the diversity of the beautiful rural Thailand. Enroute, we visit a local folk museum and stop at several small projects with seasonal-related activities. We also pass a Chinese cemetery which is very well known in this region. Around noon, we have a typical Thai lunch at a local restaurant. After a visit to the nearby lake, we ride along country roads through rice fields and small villages back to Chiang Mai. At the end of the cycle tour you will be picked up and brought back to the hotel.
