In the morning we will pick you up from your hotel and bring you to our Service Center for a tour briefing and motorcycle hand over etc.
You will have time to familiarize yourself with your motorcycle before we set off.
Then we start our Chiang Rai motorcycle tour from Chiang Mai, and rather quickly we leave the town behind and ride on the low traffic density road north towards Phrao. Enjoy a coffee at one of the many coffee stops on the way. Then from Phrao cross the mountain at Mae Waen, a pleasant scenic ride.
And one more mountain to cross for the day, over Doi Chang, famous for its coffee plantation and stunning scenery. Then the final stretch to Chiang Rai is on back roads, plenty of curves and pleasant hills. We will stop at the remarkable Wat Rong Khun (White Temple) which is today recognized as one of the main attractions all over Thailand. From the temple, there is only a short ride left to the hotel in central Chiang Rai. And then after dinner, there is time to explore the night market or just relax at the hotel.
(280 km/174 miles)
Next, we start our motorcycle tour from Chiang Rai in a northern direction, and after about 20 km leave the Highway and spend the rest of the day on exhilarating twisty rural roads. Once in Thaton, we visit Wat Thaton a temple which is located close to the border to Myanmar, on top of a hill overlooking the village of Ban Thaton and the Mae Kok River. Then we follow the main road south and have a coffee break at the Hua Luk Royal Project, and then lunch at the lovely Nest Resort with a beautiful view at the Limestone Mountains in the back.
And if time allows we will take the back roads back to Chiang Mai via Mae Rim. Expect to be back at Bike Tour Asia Service Centre latest by 5 pm. Transfer to your hotel.
