Coast to Coast, Mountain Biking Thailand’s Malay Peninsula

This just in from my buddy Dave Williams in Thailand, owner of Thai Cycle and Paddle Asia. After two years in the making, they have now completed a 205-mile mountain biking trek that crosses the Malay Peninsula. Starting just outside of Phuket, you can bike through jungle, rubber and palm plantations, and small villages from the Andaman Sea to the Gulf of Thailand. Leaving the masses behind in Phuket, you’ll get a chance to see the real Thailand on a 7 to 10-day trek. There’s also a shorter 5-day ride that gets you halfway across, zipping up and down numerous singletracks along the way. Cost starts at $825 per person, including food, guides, lodging, camping, and bikes.

Thanks a lot for posting this Steve! We'll be doing some more new routes this summer and we'll keep the same theme: mostly off-road, definitely off the beaten path and loads of cultural interactions with the lovely rural Thai people. Take care and thanks again. Cheers, Dave

I have done this ride with Thai Cycle, and it ROCKS!! The riding is amazing, the scenery breathtaking, and the people are fabulous!! You could do the ride a million times and it would get better every time. Can't wait to get back and do it again!!
