After a pickup from your Bangkok hotel, we'll begin our journey south, escaping the sprawling city and making our way toward the much more peaceful, and traffic-free rural areas. Lunch will be in a local restaurant. Before long we'll be saddling up in a local temple for our first ride together, a gentle meander through the palm groves and villages before reaching the Monsoon Valley Vineyard. That’s right, who would have thought that wine was made in such a warm climate? The result is a generally medium-bodied, fruity wine which we will taste and transfer another 20-30 minutes to our accommodation on Hua Hin Beach. 

Hua Hin is a sizeable town with a special place in the Thai national psyche as the retreat of choice for the royal family, and particularly for the late King who would often holiday here. The town is set on a pleasant beach and features plenty of choices for dining.

We start out in the cool of the morning for our ride south along the coast. In recent years, cycling has become a popular activity for locals, so we enjoy some bike-friendly infrastructure on our route. The ride features only a few easy hills just to add variety to the landscape and we are always on an excellent surface. The scenery alternates between smallholding farms growing fruit & vegetables, and white sand beaches with coconut trees for shade. 

We pass through the small town of Pranburi and then on to the Sam Roi Yot National Park where we take a hike up through the lush forest by the beach reaching the cave and (only if the weather allows) a short ride by boat. This is really a spectacular reward for our pedal-pushing efforts, an expansive cave with a shrine positioned below a shaft of light, providing a magical atmosphere and some great photo opportunities. 

Lunch is had on the beach and then we transfer for 2 hours to Bankrut in Prachuap Khiri Khan by van. Your hotel is located along the beach. Enjoy a swim in the pool or in the Gulf of Thailand!
