The Journey

10 days guided motorcycle holiday through Northern Thailand

This on-road motorcycle trip in Thailand takes you through the north of the land of temples in 10 days. The start and end point is Chiang Mai, with around 2,100 kilometers along well-developed, winding roads in between. The daily stages of 160 to 290 kilometers give you enough time for photo stops, temples, and breaks along the way. You will ride a Honda CB 500X – larger models like the Suzuki V-Strom 650 or the Honda Africa Twin are available for an extra charge. The route follows the Mekong, touches the Phu Chi-Fa National Park, the salt production in Bo Kluea, the temple ruins of Sukhothai, and the Sirikit Reservoir. Whether you have a lot of experience or are just starting with guided trips – in a small group with a German-speaking tour guide, you will find the right rhythm for your motorcycle vacation.

Chiang Mai – Chiang Khong on the Mekong

After breakfast, there will be a short briefing on the motorcycles and the course of the tour.

Winding side roads take you to Pua, where you will end the day at the hotel. This stage shows why an on-road motorcycle trip in northern Thailand offers so much riding pleasure.
