Overview

This family tour is the ideal way to connect Bangkok and the beach by cycling the backroads and trails. We travel from Bangkok to Hua Hin and onto Pathio where you can take a ferry for the gulf islands of Koh Samui and Koh Tao. We stop at small towns you may never have heard of, where lovely beaches and boutique hotels await. We also visit two National Parks, a carefully-chosen elephant sanctuary, and an aquarium on the way for some immersive fun for the kids.

Gentle breezes, great food and a variety of activities, make for an educational, healthy holiday suitable for kids of all ages. Join this ride and top it off with a beach break on Koh Phangan, Koh Samui or head across to the Andaman coast for Phuket or Krabi.

Please Note - This tour is intended for families only. It is possible for us to schedule a private session of the same tour for adults, on request, at a nominal surcharge.


106 Km riding. This is a flat ride (only a few small hills) on back roads so it is achievable by anyone who can ride a bike for the distances involved (and if not just jump in the air conditioned support vehicle for a rest). We have cut the distances down to kids' size so that the whole family can realistically ride a decent amount of each day.

Peak Season Surcharge: For tours commencing from Dec 20 to Jan 5 and April 13th-16th there is a peak season surcharge of 15% on the price of this tour due to hotel rate increases at this time of year.

Highlights

Hike and take a boat ride to explore the mystical Phraya Nakorn cave in Sam Roi National Park.

Kids will love checking out the elephants in a sanctuary supported by the WWF.

Visit some Langur monkeys and an aquarium for more of an up-close look at Thailand’s animal life.

Cycle through the narrowest part of Thailand to the idyllic beach town of Pathio.

Start your adventure in Bangkok at the train station. After picking you up from your hotel, the start of your journey begins at the Hua Lamphong Railway station for a 3 ½ hour journey to Hua Hin. Today's ride is an easy one following back roads through small towns and along quiet coastline. In Pranburi you'll stay in a comfortable resort right on the coast, well away from the bustle of Bangkok where you started the day.

We start the morning with a ride to the coast for a hike and boat ride to visit to the enchanting Phaya Nakorn Cave in Sam Roi Yot National Park. Following lunch, cycle past the stark limestone mountains of Sam Roi Yot National Park. If you are really lucky, you might spot monkeys hanging out on the rocks. Prachuap Khiri Khan sits on a beautiful curved beach and is a small relaxing provincial town which few tourists visit. This makes it a perfect place for us to stay!

Today leave the bicycles behind to explore the mangrove forests of Sam Roi Yot National Park. This is a great place to see birdlife and to enjoy the quiet and wonder of the mangroves. There is a walk up to a cave on the headland and we then return to the pier where we take a drive inland to the Khi Buri National Park for a visit to an Elephant Conservation site supported by WWF. Kids will be interested to learn about this great success story of wildlife conservation while seeing the elephants wandering around their sanctuary. This evening we return to Prachuap Khiri Khan to stay in the same hotel as the night before.

Today will be a fun ride as we pedal through an Air Force base and over their runway to visit a colony of gentle langur monkeys. These cheeky, good-natured monkeys love to have visitors. Our guide is a favorite of theirs and can show you how to safely feed the monkeys with a tasty and healthy snack. From here, we visit a nearby aquarium dedicated to the many fish species of the gulf. It really is an impressive place, and the location means that few foreigners get to visit. The kids will love this stop! Once we start riding, we will pedal through the narrowest part of Thailand, which is only 11 km wide. You can see a ridge on your right that marks the border with Myanmar. You'll overnight in Pathio, a small beachside community with expansive views of the Gulf of Thailand.

Today marks the end of our time together. After breakfast and perhaps a swim, it is time to load up and move on. Depending on where you choose to go next, our team will take you to the ferry terminal for the islands of Koh Samui and Koh Tao, to the Chumphon Airport or to the Patio train station.
