The Journey

10 days guided motorcycle tour 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 finish is in Chiang Mai, with about 2,100 kilometers on well-developed, winding roads in between. The daily stages of 160 to 290 kilometers give you plenty of 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 additional fee. The route follows the Mekong, touches on the Phu Chi Fa National Park, the salt extraction in Bo Kluea, the temple ruins of Sukhothai, and the Sirikit Reservoir. Whether you have a lot of experience or are just starting out with guided tours – in a small group with German-speaking tour leadership, you will find the right pace for your motorcycle vacation.

Chiang Mai – Arrival and motorcycle handover

We will pick you up directly from the airport in Chiang Mai and take you to your hotel in the city center. Between 5 PM and 6 PM, we will hand over your motorcycle and provide you with a brief orientation. We will kick off your on-road motorcycle journey in Thailand with a joint dinner where you will get to know your group and the German-speaking tour guide.

Chiang Mai – Chiang Khong on the Mekong

After breakfast, there is a short briefing on the motorcycles and the course of the tour. Then you roll north, past hot springs, to the border town of Chiang Khong on the Mekong (about 320 km). The well-developed roads of this stage are ideal for getting used to your motorcycle and finding the rhythm of motorcycle travel in northern Thailand.

Chiang Khong – Pua at Phu Chi Fa

Today you ride along the Mekong to the Phu Chi-Fa National Park, one of the most beautiful mountain regions on the border with Laos (about 288 km). Winding side roads will 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 is so much fun.

Pua – Nan over Bo Kluea

On dreamy roads, you reach the border crossing Huai Kon to Laos with its authentic market free of tourist kitsch (about 166 miles). In Bo Kluea, you observe the centuries-old salt production before heading to Nan. There, you relax by the pool or enjoy a massage – a quiet day of your motorcycle tour in Thailand.
