Overview

This heritage-infused bike tour takes you back in time on a route shaped by Siamese kingdom builders. From the rice paddy-covered, temple-studded Central Plains to the lush valleys and mountains of the North, we uncover some of Thailand’s most illustrious historical sites while immersing ourselves in the rustic beauty of its rural hinterlands and charming provincial towns. And there’s plenty of mouthwatering Thai cuisine, of course!

We begin our journey by leaving the skyscrapers of Bangkok behind and driving north into Thailand’s rice basket, where the first two days take us along the plains surrounding the Chao Phraya, the river of kings. Here, we explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ayutthaya—once a stately capital of pre-modern Siam and now a collection of captivating ruins that echo its former glory. We weave through rural communities and farmlands on backcountry roads before driving to Sukhothai, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the beautifully preserved vestiges of Thailand’s first Kingdom await. After an in-depth exploration of these ancient, hallowed grounds by bike, we transition to the mountainous north, spending a night in Phrae, once the centre of Thailand’s lucrative teak trade. Now in the cultural sphere of Lanna — the local name for northern Thailand — we spend two days cycling through an agrarian world shaped by Buddhist and animist beliefs. We conclude the journey with an off-saddle exploration of Chiang Mai, the vibrant cultural capital of northern Thailand.

Highlights Include:

Culture: Experience a rich blend of historical, religious, and social influences, with Buddhism playing a significant role in shaping daily life and customs

Nature: Cycle through rustic rural hinterlands, valleys, and mountains

Activity:  Discover UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai, off-saddle exploration of Chiang Mai, visit the mountaintop temple of Doi Suthep and the tranquil Buddhist forest retreat of Wat Umong

Culinary: The mouthwatering Thai cuisine falls under four categories tom (boiled dishes), yam (spicy salads), tam (pounded foods), and kaeng (curries) every dish is full of fresh flavours.

Souvenir: Thai silk

Full Itinerary

Day 1

Bangkok to Ayutthaya

We pick you up from your Bangkok hotel in the morning so please make sure you are in Bangkok at least the night before.  We then transfer about 1.5 hours north to Bang Pa-In Palace. This royal compound, once a summer retreat for Siam’s globalising monarchs, blends traditional Thai architecture with Chinese and European influences – a fitting start to our heritage tour! After exploring the palace grounds, we hop on our bikes and take a short ferry across the Chao Phraya River, followed by a gentle ride on backroads through diverse riverside villages where Buddhist and Muslim communities live side-by-side. By the 20 km point we reach the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ayutthaya and discover the ruins of Siam’s former capital city - all but destroyed during a war with the Burmese in the late 18th-century. We weave through the city by bike and visit a selection of standout monuments, such as Wat Mahathat, famous for its Buddha head entwined in tree roots, the trio of majestic stupas at Wat Si Sanphet, and the grand Hindu-Khmer style Wat Chaiwatthanaram. We end the day at a boutique Thai-style resort nestled among rice paddies.

Cycling Distance: 41km

Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Hotel in Ayutthaya
Day 2

Ayutthaya to Wat Chaiyo and Uthai Thani

Departing from the hotel, we start with a 10 km ride out of Ayutthaya, situated on an artificial island between two rivers. We follow one of these rivers, the Chao Phraya, for much of today's journey as we head north. We continue for about 20 km on quiet secondary roads, passing through rice paddies, canals, villages, and local temples. We then follow the main road for about 10 km into the city of Ang Thong. Here, we switch to a narrow lane hugging the Chao Phraya River for around 20 km, offering a glimpse into waterborne life in the Central Plains of Thailand. Our ride finishes at Wat Chaiyo, a temple complex housing a colossal gilded Buddha statue. After our visit, we have a 1.5 hour transfer to a charming lakeside resort in Uthai Thani Province — perfect for a relaxing afternoon before gathering for dinner in the evening.

Cycling Distance: 64km

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Hotel in Uthai Thani
Day 3

Uthai Thani to Kamphaeng Phet and Sukhothai

We kick off the day early with a 5 km ride to the morning market in the vintage town of Uthai Thani. Walking our bikes through rows of tightly packed stalls, we discover sellers of freshly caught river fish, vibrant fruits and veggies from surrounding farms, and other intriguing curiosities! Back in the saddle, we cycle toward the Chao Phraya for a scenic 10 km stretch along the waterfront. This area boasts a rich local heritage of knife manufacturing, and we stop at a workshop for a closer look. The final 20 km offers a leisurely ride through the rustic countryside, passing rice paddies, quaint villages, temples, and more of the Chao Phraya River. After 45 km, we’ll pack up our bikes and hop in the van to fast-track ourselves to the ancient landscape of Thailand’s first Kingdom: Sukhothai. The drive takes about 3.5 hours, but we’ll break up the journey with a stop at the historical site of Kamphaeng Phet, where we explore the tree-entwined ruins of a once-mighty military outpost that protected Sukhothai from invasion. We arrive at our hotel in Sukhothai in the late afternoon.

Cycling Distance: 45km

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Hotel in Sukhothai
Day 4

Sukhothai to Phrae

This morning, we explore the illustrious capital of the Sukhothai Kingdom - one of Thailand’s premier UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Its legacy has profoundly shaped Thai culture, language, and religion, with influences still visible in modern society. Starting from our hotel, we cycle through Sukhothai Historical Park, an expansive area featuring an impressive array of temple ruins, fortifications, moats, and ponds, all connected by well-paved, lightly trafficked roads — perfect for cycling. While many sites can be admired from the saddle, we’ll make several stops for a closer look. Highlights include Wat Si Chum, home to an elegant seated Buddha statue, and Wat Mahathat, Sukhothai’s royal temple, with its towering brick stupas and colonnades. Though the total cycling distance is just 20 km, we’ll spend the entire morning soaking in Sukhothai’s historical splendour.. After lunch, we hop in the van and transfer around 2.5 hours to the northern town of Phrae. Time permitting, we will visit a beautifully restored 19th-century mansion, built at a time when Phrae was the centre of the lucrative teak trade. Dinner is not included tonight, giving you a chance to go local and choose what you like at Phrae's night market!

Cycling Distance: 20km

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
Accommodation: Hotel in Phrae
Day 5

Phrae to Lampang

In the morning, we transfer about 1.5 hours from Phrae to our cycling start point in the neighbouring province of Lampang. We are now firmly in the north (or Lanna, as the locals call the region) and you’ll notice the scenery differs significantly from what we have experienced in the Central Plains, with jungle-clad mountains sprawling in the background. As we ride the first 30 km you may also notice the styles of houses and temples have changed, along with the varieties of fruits and vegetables grown – but there’s still lots and lots of rice! We take a break at Wat Phra That Lampang Luang, an impressive fortified temple complex dating back to the 13th century. After lunch nearby, we continue for another 25 km along farm lanes and village roads, eventually arriving at the Wang River. We follow the gently flowing waterway for the final few kilometres to a traditional northern Thai-style rural resort where we spend the night.

Cycling Distance: 58km

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Rural Resort in Lampang
Day 6

Lampang to Lamphun and Chiang Mai

We start the day with a 1.5-hour transfer into Lamphun Province, Thailand's top producer of longan fruit. Throughout our ride today, we pass rows of longan trees with their distinctive wide canopies. After around 15 km, we stop at the moated town of Lamphun where we visit the glittering Wat Phra That Hariphunchai, one of the oldest continuously worshipped Buddhist temples in northern Thailand. Continuing towards the Ping River, we ride through its lush floodplain to the archaeological site of Wiang Kum Kam, which predates Chiang Mai and boasts beautiful ruins. A short, final burst brings us to our hotel on the Ping River, just south of Chiang Mai City. In the evening, we hop into one of Chiang Mai’s iconic red trucks and head out for dinner, making a few stops along the way to soak in the city's vibrant atmosphere at dusk.

Cycling Distance: 49km

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Hotel in Chiang Mai
Day 7

Departure Day Chiang Mai Exploration and Departure

On our final morning, we drive up to Wat Doi Suthep, the most sacred temple in northern Thailand. Perched on a mountain top overlooking Chiang Mai, it offers stunning panoramic views on clear days. At the heart of the temple complex is a large, stepped, gilded stupa — a celebrated symbol of Chiang Mai’s deep-rooted spirituality. We then descend the mountain to visit Wat Umong, a 700-year-old temple nestled in tranquil shaded woods, famous for the tunnels beneath its large chedi, originally built to keep a particularly eccentric monk from wandering off into the forest! We wrap up our heritage-infused bike tour of Thailand with a farewell lunch before transferring you to your post-tour hotel. Please let us know if you need assistance with hotel bookings or airport transfers after the trip.

2 - Leisure

We ride a total of 278 km over 6 cycling days. This tour has been designed for the leisure cyclist, offering a blend of Thailand’s must see sites and venturing off the tourist track. Our rides are predominantly flat though there are some undulations once we reach the north. With several vehicle transfers before and/or after our rides, we avoid busy main roads and focus on the most enjoyable routes. The UNESCO World Heritage sites of Ayutthaya and Sukhothai are highlights, and we will visit the ancient temples both on and off the bike. As well historical landmarks, this tour offers insight into Thailand's living heritage with visits to local markets, villages, and traditional cottage industries. For many, the most memorable moments are encounters with Thailand’s welcoming locals, always eager to wave hello and cheer us on! Accommodations on this tour are a selection of character-rich and cosy hotels.

The trip is fully supported, and your guide’s expert knowledge of the area and terrain means that you always know what is coming up in terms of distance and difficulty. This makes a tremendous difference, as does the constant supply of water and refreshments along the way.

This trip is suitable for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness. Besides a few inclines here and there, there are no sustained climbs and the rides are predominantly flat throughout. Daily distances average around 46 km, allowing ample time for immersion, sightseeing, and relaxation. Navigating narrow village lanes, bumpy country roads, and the odd stretch of hard-packed dirt or gravel requires some handling skills but does not involve technical maneuvering. The main challenge of the tour is keeping up stamina over back-to-back riding days and cycling in the tropical heat. The pace is leisurely and with plenty of refreshment stops so riders with less experience are more than welcome to join. The support vehicle is always nearby to offer refuge to any weary cyclists.

Our rides include a mix of paved roads in varying conditions. You can expect mostly smooth tarmac interspersed with narrow village roads and country lanes which can contain potholes, road debris, and gravel. Although much of the route is on quiet rural roads with minimal traffic, we will regularly share the roads with cars, motorbikes, and buses. There are a few unavoidable sections along the main roads, especially coming in and out of cities and near popular attractions. We generally ride rain or shine, but based on the guide’s discretion or your comfort level, modifications to the planned route can be made. It’s all part of the adventure!

Testimonials

Don't just take our word for it

After 6 trips with Global Cycling this has to be up with the best! Mike our guide was outstanding. This tour was unforgettable, enough excitement without being dangerous, with very good quality hotels, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Kristine & Ron

This was my first major overseas trip, and WOW what an experience. The trip was really well organised. I felt safe all the time, and the guides made sure that they took excellent care of us. We always knew what was happening and the non-cycling excursions were fantastic. I can't wait to do my next trip!

Kim Hamill

Excellent tour great to have 2 days at some places! Good mates and loads of fun! Rene was amazing - seems to really enjoy seeing the regular faces, always cheerful and ready to help!

Helene Hudson

The Croatian Islands are truly beautiful, each one with its own unique feel. We were lucky, due to an itinerary change, to also see the island of Brac. We met a great group of people on the tour and shared so much fun & laughter with them.The ceaseless attention and hard work of our guides (Toni & Josh) and their support crew (Captain Pave & his team) ensured that the week was absolutely amazing!

Sue & Geoff Welsh

The trip was, as expected, fantastic. Weather great, food great, company great, and fabulous accommodation. It was nice to be able to get in from a long days ride, and have a nana nap in a really nice hotel. ... on the last day I rode one of the new fangled e-bikes for the last stage into Santiago, and am now a convert. My road bike will probably never go on another tour. What a revelation. ... So in closing, probably one of the best tours I’ve been, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

John Hedge

I keep coming back because of the excellent service and results. They truly care about their clients and it shows in their work.

Great experience overall! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, making the process smooth and enjoyable. I am very satisfied with the results.

Fantastic service! I was impressed by how quickly they responded to my inquiries and the quality of the final product. Highly recommend!

Excellent trip. I can't give Jo (tour leader) enough praise for the job he did and the support he gave us. The conditions for the majority of our trip were really challenging (weather-wise), and he was always there with a positive and friendly attitude. Ten stars!!! Lorna (guide) was incredible plus her salads were divine. The day cycling through Edinburgh was amazing, I so loved it in every way. The history, the miles of cycle paths - we went straight through the city center - just fabulous. I also loved Scone Palace for tea and scones, and cycling into Bettyhill - a relaxed day of beautiful scenery and easy riding. Guide lunches and snacks fantastic - so thoughtful and tasty for hungry riders!!

Wendy Norwood

Had an epic trip.

Well organised, great food, super accommodation, brilliant  guides.

Bloody amazing Weather.

So pretty happy.

Maree

Super well organised - guide’s were very attentive to us all.

Super weather 1hr of rain for the whole 22days - John-o Groats was 14 degrees sunny, no wind,  beautiful.

Well fed - morning and afternoon teas and lunches too.

Well worth the effort.

A great way to see the country at a slower pace.

Andrew

Andrew and I enjoyed our time in Madagascar immensely. The team were very well organised (in the context of the general chaos that is Madagascar!)

Naina, Tina, Fenu and Tulca were all excellent, and went to great lengths to make sure that we were having the best experience possible.

The route was very interesting and traversed evolving landscapes and communities as we headed South.

The rides were interspersed with non-riding days, that had hikes or interesting stopovers and/or gave us exposure to native flora and fauna.

The team provided excellent fresh food each day, with great variety and plenty.

Peter and Andrew

“We would highly recommend Global Cycling Adventures golf tour to Scotland. Our trip was very well organized playing a range of challenging Links courses on Scotland’s East Coast.

The Hotels, transport and staff were superb. A golf enthusiasts dream come true!”

Chris and Judy James

It was our first tour and was way above expectations---thank you

Bill & Christine

The overall experience was wonderful. A mix of fantastic scenery, daily exertion on the bikes, excellent tour guides who blended history ,geography and language with ensuring all participants were treated well.

Kees and Monica Haverkamp

This is a thank you and a huge recommendation to anyone interested in seeing Croatia the way we did with Global Adventure Guide. Everything about our trip in September was perfect, the boat, the guides, the food, the riding and Croatia itself was awesome. Our global adventure was brilliant!!

Ros

I enjoyed the Croatia bike and sail tour very much - making new friends, learning to e-bike and the beautiful warm clear azure blue sea are great memories of the trip for me.

Gary

The guides and crew were exceptional on our tour. I can’t say enough about how pleasant they all were.

Courtney Fraser

The tour guides and all crew made the experience exceptional. We chose this tour so that I had the option of either the Ebike or ordinary and ended up deciding each day which I would choose depending on the climbs.

Kate Williams

Fellow cyclists were a great bunch, we were lucky that we all got on so well, a lot of laughs. The most clearest of water and to be able to swim off the back of the boat, fab.

Chris Cantwell

Our special experience was the close encounter with the Lemurs at small nature reserve of Anja exceeded expectations.
Mora Mora.

Alistair and Ann

The group was very good, good atmosphere and help from all participants.

Jef Raus

The whole tour was fantastic. Loved the food/culture/people and of course the bike riding. The support from staff during the tour was beyond the call of duty and the local guides were wonderful.

Greg Griffith

It was excellent! Our tour leader was helpful on every front, plus we had 5 others as part of the support team. They all worked really well together, were lovely and made things seamless for us. We ate really well, the lunches they prepared for us on the road were great, I might even say they were the best I had on a cycling tour. The restaurants they picked for the restaurant meals were good choices to give us some variety.
The routes were generally good, giving us a nice variety of landscapes and towns. To my surprise (I’m not much into hiking) I enjoyed the hikes and parks on the non-cycling days, particularly the latter 2. I wanted lemurs and I got many as well as cool other creatures in those parks as well as in our stay at Camp Catta (great location).
Our group got along really well & friendships were made. Anyway, it was a great trip, I am really happy with the experience. So a big thank you for everything!

Linda S

I have done a few bike trips with GCA and Costa Rica/Panama lived up to the usual high standards. We had excellent care and service from the local guide (Mike) and his crew. The biking highlight for me was descending the Irazú volcano, a drop of some 2000 meters on excellent road. Some non riding highlights would be Ziplining through the tropical rainforest.

Robin Morton

The Costa Rica/Panama cycle tour was a magnificent blend of biking and exploring these two countries hitting all the high points, from sandy beaches on the coast to active volcanoes in the interior as well as numerous other activities, including rafting, exploring wildlife in the immense jungles and of course the canal; couldn't think of a better way to do it, Global Cycling put together a truly memorable itinerary. Amazing to think what was packed in to just two weeks!

Martin Moore

I want to give a big shout out to Ralph and Global Cycling Adventures (GCA) for the recent bike tour through Costa Rica and into Panama. This was our second tour with GCA (following a tour through Vietnam and into Cambodia back in 2019). My wife and I joined the Costa Rica tour with 15 others and had a blast. Throw some zip-lining and white water rafting in and there was something new and different every day. A highly recommended this tour for those who want to experience Central America through Costa Rica into Panama via MTB.

Matthew Riordan

Enjoyed the Gobi Desert with visits to Flaming Red Cliffs and Singing Dunes. The friendly locals and the little 'treats' they gave us.

Greg Griffith

An amazing experience for a keen mountain biker who has been with Global Adventures for several trips throughout the world and for years to come. My wife also loves the way she is catered for as a non-biker. The experience starts with the promotional material, then the detailed notes, the trip itself and the final celebratory dinner.

John Brannock

This trip was an awesome adventure to a very special unique country. The nomadic people showed us how simple yet rewarding life can be, in what can be a very harsh environment.

Ann & Alistair Bennett

A very special challenging 3 weeks spent in a gorgeous part of the world with awesome company. To quote the feelers "It's as good as it gets".

Pete Richards

Fantastic trip. Cycling the HCM trail was superb. We understand many of the cycling trips are only down the southern coastal route but the northern sector from HaNoi down the HCM trail is a must. Highly recommend Global Adventure.

Ross

The whole thing was special for us, we had a great time. Great group of people.

Eddie and Anita Corrigan

Ajaccio to Calvi was one of the best road rides I've done anywhere, Excellent mountain roads, well graded climbs, coupled with great scenery, through a world heritage area & overlooking the Mediterranean.The Sardinian Island of San Pietro was nice riding and very interesting from a traditional cultural perspective.Robert, our guide was extremely helpful and looked after the riders very well. He was attentive but still allowed us to do our own thing. VERY safety conscious which is crucial.

John

The wonderful scenery & the choice of towns/cities were well researched. We both had a great time.

Marianne & John

Our special experience: Mingling with the "real" people of Africa and realising how lucky we are in NZ. Our in- house quote was DIA, meaning 'dis is Africa!

Alistair & Ann

Twice on tour I had the best day of my life!

Gary

The people were wonderful - so friendly, the children would run from far in the fields to see us on our bikes for lots of high 5's. The game drives were amazing, we saw so much in Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara...I loved Tanzania and this experience got me out of my comfort zone

Murray Booth

If you could hand pick your group you would never come up with a team like this one. The biking is the catalyst but it was so much fun that some days, the face and the sides hurt more than the legs.
It seemed that most of the time there was a thrilling view or a surprise around every corner.
The inclusion of some iconic cultural and heritage sites into the program is a highlight.

Carolyn & Warren Mckenzie

So many special experiences with lots of "Firsts" ie. 141kms in one day!!!! Klaus and Sabine's dedication to us, making it such an awesome experience with their ongoing help in explaining and interpreting local customs and language.

Alistair and Anne

If you want a tour where every day is different, the scenery stunning and the distances long enough that you have earned that extra piece of apple strudel then this is the tour for you!

Vicki

The trip exceeded my expections and we all loved Hoa. He was perfect for our group! Even the things out of our control (weather, flights being on time, etc) went perfect.

Kymberly Lehenbauer USA

We had an amazing time on our trip and would like to take this opportunity to say how great the three guides were. They looked after us so well, providing snacks, checking our bikes and ensuring that our experiences were outstanding. I have no hesitation in recommending this tour and the Halong Bay trip to anyone that will listen. Thank you to you for your part in the organization of our trip as well.

Peter

I thought the Island of Corsica was the highlight. Cycling predominately near the coastline,and the deep blue of the Mediteranean was very picturesque. Looking forward to the next trip.

Graeme Oakley

Everything was done very well. South Africa is a magical destination for cyclists.

Sue Semple-Rowland

The e-bikes certainly enhanced our enjoyment of the spectacular journey this tour offers. Totally would recommend e-bikes on this tour!

Alistair & Ann Bennett

Overall the tour was excellent!

David Williams

My special experience of the tour was: My decision to go with the ebike. Great experience using the Stromer. Made my holiday very enjoyable.

Cheryl Van

The whole tour was fantastic. Loved the food/culture/people and of course the bike riding. The support from staff during the tour was beyond the call of duty and the local guides were wonderful.

Greg Griffith

Destination excellent, fellow passengers like a family outing, very congenial atmosphere.

Fantastic experience and great scenery.

Great fun and a wonderful way to sight-see.

Top notch, as good as it gets. A very special trip spreading the Kiwi love.

We had an awesome time in both Bhutan & Sikkim. The cycling was hard in both places - either up or down - there is no flat - but the scenery, people, culture etc. made all the effort worthwhile.

The guides and crew were exceptional on our tour. I can’t say enough about how pleasant they all were.

A great blend of adventure, fun and social activity!

What an incredible romp through Bavaria and along the Danube! An amazing journey of changing sights and sounds, whether biking through meadows accompanied to the sound of cow bells, past castle ruins, under historic Abbeys, through vineyards, or alongside the mighty Danube it was never a dull moment.
