The Journey
This twelve-day Thailand & Laos - motorcycle tour & cultural experience takes you through the enchanting and fascinating mountain landscapes in northern Thailand and Laos. We will ride on beautiful roads through untouched nature and past impressive waterfalls! We will cover 2000 kilometers and also explore remote mountain villages and magical temples!
We will pick you up at Chiang Mai Airport and take you to our tour hotel in the heart of the city. Depending on your arrival time, you can explore the city, go shopping, or simply relax by the pool. We will have dinner at one of the riverside restaurants. Afterwards, we will visit the famous "night market".
After breakfast, you take over your motorcycle for the tour. Then we're off. Today we are heading north to Chiang Khong. On our route, there are hot springs where you can actually cook eggs. Just before Chiang Rai, we visit a sight, the white temple, built by a famous Thai artist. Upon arriving in Chiang Khong, we check into a hotel right on the Mekong River, where we can already take a look across the river at the Lao side.
From the hotel, we will now go directly to the border where, after completing the border formalities on the Thai side, we will cross the Mekong River on the Friendship Bridge. After we have received our visas for Laos on the Laotian side (about 2 hours in total), we can now enter Laos. Upon arriving in Laos, we will drive today through the mountains of northern Laos, passing numerous villages of ethnic minorities to Luang Namtha, a small town near the Chinese border, where we will spend our first evening and night in Laos in a simple resort with good Laotian cuisine.
Today on the second day in Laos, we have a 230 km long road that takes us through countless villages, mountains, and viewpoints through northern Laos to Nong Kiaw. After arriving at a small resort right by the bank of the Nam Ou River, we can now enjoy the sunset in a dreamlike landscape with a drink.
After a hearty breakfast, we will drive through fantastic valleys towards Luang Prabang (the old town of Luang Prabang was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995). In the early afternoon we will reach our comfortable guesthouse, which is located directly on the banks of the Nam Kan River. After dinner, there is the opportunity to visit the night market of Luang Prabang, which offers a wide range of handicrafts from Laos.
Today we have time to take laundry to the cleaners and do some shopping. Those who find half a day enough for relaxing have the opportunity to take a tour with our tour guide to one of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen. Back in Luang Prabang, there is still much more to see, such as the temple complex "Wat Phousi" or you can just relax in a café. We will enjoy the evening in one of the many restaurants on the banks of the Mekong.

A very well-developed winding road (Top 10 of the most beautiful motorcycle roads in the world) through a fantastic mountainous landscape with little traffic makes the heart race. In the early evening, we reach the city of Phayao, located by a beautiful lake. If you like fish, then this is the place for you.
