Saigon to Bangkok by Bicycle

Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand will be visited during the tour.

We can't say for certain how many will be joining. However to keep the tour personal the maximum number of participants is 16 and minimum is 2.

Minimum age to join is 18 years old.

You have 14 days and 13 nights of fun on this tour. 10 of which will be spent on the bike.

You'll ride a total of 550 km over 10 cycling days. The first three days takes you through the Mekong Delta, following narrow country lanes amidst coconut farms, rice fields, and quaint villages. After a rest day to reach Phnom Penh by speedboat, you'll tackle 4 back-to-back rides on Cambodia’s rugged dirt roads, including a memorable day exploring the ancient Angkor temples by bike. Another boat cruise (or a partial cruise and transfer in the dry season) brings you to Battambang for a final day of riding in Cambodia before crossing into Thailand.

The last two rides are along well-paved coastal roads. This diverse journey is complemented by a range of touring highlights and cultural experiences, capturing the essence of everything we love about Southeast Asia. A standout feature of the tour is the incredibly welcoming locals you'll encounter, always eager to wave hello and cheer you on!

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.

Suitability: This is a moderately difficult trip that anyone with a reasonable level of fitness will enjoy. Besides a few inclines here and there, there are no sustained climbs and the rides are predominantly flat throughout. Daily distances average around 55 km, allowing ample time for immersion, sightseeing, and relaxation. In Vietnam and Cambodia, navigating gravel, sand, and cratered country roads requires some handling skills but does not involve technical manoeuvreing. The main challenge of the tour is keeping up stamina over back-to-back riding days and cycling in the tropical heat. Riders with less experience are more than welcome, although the fitter you are the more you will enjoy it. The support vehicle is always nearby to offer refuge to any weary cyclists.

Biking Conditions: In Vietnam and Cambodia the rides include a mix of paved roads in varying conditions, gravel and sand country roads, and vehicle-width dirt roads. While cycling in Angkor, you’ll also enjoy some fun single tracks in the forests. In Thailand, the roads are all paved and in good condition. Although much of the route is on quiet countryside roads with minimal traffic, you 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. In the dry season, the roads in Vietnam and Cambodia are notoriously dusty, and when it rains, they can become muddy. You will 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!

A helmet is required to be worn on all biking activities and is non-negotiable. If you do not wear a helmet you won't be allowed to cycle.

The tour leader is trained in first aid and emergency rescue. But to a large degree, riders must be responsible for their own safety during the tour. It is therefore compulsory that you take out travel insurance that will cover  you for a cycling tour.

Yes, if you're hiring a bike from the operator, a complimentary helmet is provided, although you are welcome to bring your own if you wish.
