Day 1
Bangkok - Amphawa
Our trip starts in Bangkok, where you will get a first chance to experience the vibrant city life and visit some iconic cultural sites.
We will meet at the heart of the city and hop into a van to escape the crazy traffic, heading to the beautiful region of Amphawa 2 hours away.
After check-in at a beautiful hotel, we will embark on a boat trip and head to a nice riverside river for our welcome dinner!
Day 2
Amphawa - Pranburi Beach
33 kms / 30m total ascent
The ride today is a slow, contemplative ride through canals, coconut groves and pomelo orchards. We will stop mid-way at a cute riverside cafe that processes a local berry and makes great desserts to try out, then ride to a delicious restaurant nestled in the orchards to try out their off-the-tree pomelo salad.
After lunch, we transfer South along the coast to Pranburi to embark on a sunset boat ride on a wonderful lotus lake, watching for wild birds flying above towering karst peaks.
We'll have dinner together and get ready for the next day.
Day 3
Pranburi - Sam Roi Yot - Kui Buri
49 kms / 90m total ascent
We leave our accommodation right after breakfast and head towards Sam Roi Yot National Park (300 peaks), filled with spectacular limestone formations.
We soon stop by the water and take a boat (or we may decide to hike the short distance) to visit the majestic Phraya Nakhon cave and the incredible temple it houses.
Back at the bikes, we saddle up and ride through numerous small villages. The final part runs along the beach to Kui Buri, where lies your nice hotel for the night.
Day 4
Kui Buri - Prachuap Khiri Khan
43 kms / 60m total ascent
The route today takes us inland and along the coast, to the little town of Prachuap Khiri Khan. The town is known among locals as a charming seaside destination, with a relaxed atmosphere where one can indulge in local specialties.
Though we may reach too early for lunch, we will have a nice coffee break while we visit the local temples - among which Monkey Mountain is a real curiosity.
After leaving town, we will have to sign our names to enter a military base and ride through its airstrip, to then keep going to our cozy seaside homestay for the day.
Day 5
Prachuap Khiri Khan - Ban Krut
73 kms / 220m total ascent (option to shorten to 62 kms)
This is a rest day, so you can decide to ride the 30kms that take us to our next beautiful resort, or just take the van to let those legs of yours fully rest.
During the day, you can relax by the pool, at the beach or wander through the village.
You may even decide to go snorkelling nearby at the splendid tiny island of Koh Talu.
Day 6
Ban Krut loop - Bangkok
40 kms / 110m total ascent
Today is our last riding day.
We start the day with an amazing road stretch, right under the coconut trees, watching the sun rise. We ride along the Royal Coast Road, and soon coconut trees give way to pine trees, making for an interesting change of atmosphere. The shade is pleasant as we keep going with the sea to our left and farmland to our right.
We will stop at a little know cave temple and ride back to the hotel to freshen up before lunch.
From there, you will be free to continue your way South to the islands, or transfer back to Bangkok with us (there is also the option of a 1st class sleeper train back to Bangkok).
