Thailand
Seven days of offroad motorcycle riding in northern Thailand from the OVERCROSS Mae Malai base camp north of Chiang Mai — Doi Inthanon, Pai, Huai Nam Dang National Park, and Chiang Dao hot springs.
Your 7-day motorcycle tour through northern Thailand begins at Chiang Mai Airport. We pick you up and drive 30 km north to the OVERCROSS base camp in Mae Malai. Depending on your arrival time, there may be time to visit a temple, explore a local market, or simply rest. The evening closes with a group dinner at the base camp.
After a hearty breakfast, everyone picks up their Honda CRF250 or KLX250 and the riding begins. Today explores the mountain region around the base camp to get comfortable on the bikes. The evening ends with a cold beer by the campfire at Mae Malai — a good start to the north Thailand 7 day moto tour.
The first major day of the doi inthanon motorcycle tour. An elephant camp by the river opens the morning, then an offroad route leads into Doi Inthanon National Park. A winding asphalt climb reaches the summit at 2565 m — Thailand’s highest point. Clear days reward with panoramic views over the north. The descent passes a waterfall and the first river crossing before arriving at the resort in Mae Chaem.
The longest offroad stage of this pai motorcycle tour in Thailand — over 100 km through the wilderness of the north. The track passes remote mountain villages at its own pace, with stop options depending on group ability. Pai is a small valley town with hot springs, mountain views, and a lively evening scene with restaurants and bars within walking distance of the resort.

A full day in the Huai Nam Dang National Park around Pai, extending to the Myanmar border. The highlight is Southeast Asia’s largest cave, with stalactites and stalagmites filling a chamber that sheltered locals during the Vietnam War. Waterfalls, canyons, and mountain paths complete the day on this pai loop motorcycle tour. Evening walk through Pai town.
Another offroad day through the Huai Nam Dang National Park with mountain views across the northern highlands. By late afternoon the group reaches a bungalow resort in Chiang Dao. After settling in, the evening goes to the hot springs where thermal pools at around 37°C close the riding day in style on this chiang dao motorcycle tour stage.
The final day of this 7-day enduro tour in Thailand follows the Ping and Taeng river valleys with wooded banks and waterfalls on the way back to Mae Malai. A last stop at an elephant training camp fits before returning to base in the afternoon. From Mae Malai you can fly home, spend the evening in Chiang Mai, or extend with the 12-day tour that starts at the same base.
