Bangkok - Trang - Pak Meng - Krabi - Ao Luek - Phang Nga Bay - Khao Sok - Phuket
Southern Thailand features unique scenery not found elsewhere in the country. The landscape is dotted with limestone mountains, rubber plantations, rain forests, and long stretches of beach. Traveling by bicycle allows you to stop often, take photos, and immerse yourself in the beautiful scenery and local culture. Our ‘Biking the South of Thailand’ offers a mix of all of these as well as plenty of cultural exploration and relaxing time in the South’s pristine natural surroundings.
The journey starts from Bangkok with an overnight train ride to the town of Trang. Pedal off to the small town of Pak Meng, experiencing the local fishing villages, pine forests, and caves along the way. This first stretch of the cycling journey is a great introduction to the local life and culture of the area.
Continue to Krabi and Ao Lak. The area between these
towns is filled with rubber plantations, one of Thailand’s most
important exports. As you pedal along, get lost in the tranquility
of the south as the passing plantations and distant limestone
mountains fill your field of vision.
The second half of your journey takes you to Phang Nga Bay and Khao Sok National Park. Travel by boat through turquoise sea and to deserted islands from Phang Nga and ride through off-road trails of Khao Sok to come face-to-face with wild monkeys.
Enjoy the beauty of southern Thailand from your bike seat as you pedal your way through the splendid scenery and local villages of the region.
