This afternoon, have a gentle 18-31km ride to get used to the climate, roads and your bike. It’s a easy introduction, to get you used to the atmosphere, meet locals and take in the sights before the harder rides ahead in the next few days.
Today is a big day – cycling to the top of Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s highest mountain at 2,565m. The climb is tough, the last 5km is especially steep but the views from the top are worth it. The descent is cautious due to the steep roads. After 75km you arrive in the quiet town of Mae Chaem. Check into a cozy guesthouse and unwind from the day’s big ride. Enjoy a warm meal, share stories with fellow riders and take in the peaceful surroundings as you recover for the next stage of your cycling adventure.

Arrive in Mae Sariang, check into your accommodation and spend the day exploring the quiet streets or relaxing after a big day of riding. Tonight enjoy the slow pace of life and the warmth of the local hospitality.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Today’s 56km is an easy ride through more hill tribe villages. The closer to the Myanmar border you get, the more diverse the cultural influences will be, in food, dress and traditions. The scenery is rolling hills and quiet farmland, a nice ride. Arrive in Khun Yuam, a small and welcoming village where you will spend the night. This is a great opportunity to slow down, observe daily life and interact with locals. The pace of the day allows you to recharge while still making progress on your cycling adventure.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Today is the easiest ride of the trip—a 40km downhill to Mae Hong Son. The smooth and scenic descent lets you take in the views without the big climbs. Arrive early and head to the Golden Pai & Suite Resort where you can spend the afternoon by the pool. This is the perfect chance to rest your muscles, enjoy the peaceful surroundings and prepare for the rest of the trip. Mae Hong Son is a laid back town surrounded by mountains, a great backdrop for an afternoon of well earned relaxation.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Today is a rest day with no cycling, to give you time to explore Mae Hong Son at your own pace. This mountain town is home to the Shan people, originally from Myanmar and a mix of other tribes such as the Karen, Hmong, Lahu, Lisu and Lua. Walk through local markets, visit temples or enjoy the nature. Take this day to recover your energy while learning more about the region’s cultural diversity. By evening you’ll be refreshed and ready for the next stage of your journey, having soaked up the area’s unique charm and traditions.
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Leave Mae Hong Son for Pai, a small town famous for its artistic and bohemian vibe. The day starts with a gentle 10km climb before a tough 20km of hills. Today’s ride is 75km with great mountain views. Arrive in Pai and check into your hotel and rest. In the evening explore the night market, try local food or simply relax and enjoy the laid back atmosphere. Pai’s mix of mountains, creativity and charm makes it one of the highlights of the trip.
