  • Can you describe the tour?

    This tour is an exciting ride for the amateur cyclist looking for more out of their experience. Consistently challenging distances of over 100 kilometers (62 mi) per day, jaunts into steepville with some leg-testing climbs, and a tough, ride-affirming day or two make for dynamic and satisfying riding. This tour is ideal for cyclists with experience tackling demanding ascents and riding multi-day tours.

    You should feel comfortable maintaining a 28km (17mi) per hour speed for at least an hour at a time, and be able to manage hillier terrain on your ride. To prepare, aim to ride three times a week and vary your training with longer rides, hills, or cross-training.

    This tour takes on over 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) in 9 cycling days, with variety in terrain and ride profiles. In Coastal South Thailand, the riding is primarily flat to gently undulating, while there are a couple of substantial climbs at the end of the tour in Central Malaysia. But don't worry, the route will prepare you for the big days, and the support vehicle is always close by should you need it!

    You can expect a full day of cycling each day, with most daily distances over 100 kilometres (62 miles). The ride into Cameron Highlands involves substantial elevation gain on a single climb, so experience climbing is recommended. This tour is perfect for recreational cyclists who are comfortable riding over 100 kilometres (62 miles) on back to back days, but are looking for something interesting, and possibly more of a challenge!

    Biking Conditions: As this is a road biking tour, the roads are all tarmac and in good condition. Some descents will be steep, requiring good handling skills. Though most roads are quiet and scenic, there will be some sections with light traffic outside urban areas. Your local cycling guide and support vehicle will be with you every inch of the way to let you know what's ahead and to offer you a rest and a lift should you need it.

  • Are bicycles included?

    Trek Domane's and carbon Émonda's are available for rent if you choose not to bring your own bicycle. These bicycles have Shimano components. If you have your own saddle that you are comfortable with, you are welcome to bring it, and the tour operator will fit it for you. You should consider bringing your clip pedals, shoes, and cleats. If you bring your own bike, please make sure it is a road bike in good mechanical order.

  • Are helmets included when hiring a bike?

    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.

We just got back from Thailand. what a great place to go to! But you know, so often it's about the guides. They need to have a lot together. They need to really know their stuff- the equipment, the places to go, the safety stuff. Then they have to be fun. It's best if they feel like a friend but also know when to give you space. The best guides on our trip were from [the tour operator] and the best guide hands down was Gigi. She was so much fun and so competent- a little ball of energy. Yo was also really good. We had many that were not, but these guys were great. Thank you guys!
