What a great time I had on this tour -- it's one week I will always remember. We stayed in very nice hotels (swimming pools in all of them), ate wonderful meals, saw both the requisite Thai cultural sites and some off-the-beaten path things -- like a Buddha cave at a temple out in the middle of nowhere! Our guide, Yai, was just wonderful -- she provided lots of background on Thai culture. In fact, that may have been the best part of the tour, apart from the riding. I feel like I came back with a solid understanding of the country and its people, something I definitely would have missed if I hadn't had Yai as a guide. Would I take this tour again? In a heartbeat!

This was a really fun trip comprised of all Bike Friday riders. Tom, the leader did an excellent job of showing us and educating us about Thailand. Also, based upon numerous adventure travel trips I have been on I can see that he is the best for having a well organized, and safe trip. The safety issues that he did really make a differnce. We all got loaner cell phones that were pre-prgrammed with the leaders and everyone elses numbers. In the event of getting lost or having a problem, all we had to do was use the phone. I cant tell you how often I wish I had this on a couple of ther trips I've been on. Plus Tom's emhasis on good lodging and good food made for very pleasant evenings.

Bike Friday send us a suggestion, we grabbed it without knowing anything about Pedalers Pub and Grille, and only knew Thailand from guide books. This trip was very special, the outfitter really knows his stuff. The backroads, the jungle, the Karst mountains, the little villages, the accommodations, the meals - everything was top notch. Tom knows his business and makes sure his clients are well taken care of. His "sag" driver was always there when needed, atop of every incline he had fresh fruit and ice water, before every lunch spot he had ice cold towelettes to wipe the sweat off the brow. This area is tropical, hot and humid, and incredibly beautiful. The combination of bicycling and kayaking is what intrigued us. The Andaman Sea with its rock formation islands is exactly what we had seen in travel magazines. To be there and experience kayaking into the lagoons inside these rocks was fabulous. The end of the bike trip was another kayaking adventure through the mangrove forest in a marine park. Local fishermen clamming, crabbing and fishing was special because a lot of our delicious Thai food came from the sea.

Our commitment to sustainable travel
The concept of traveling in an environmentally friendly and culturally sensitive manner has been part of the planning and operational philosophy of Pedalers Pub & Grille throughout its history. It is the way that we, the owners, guides and staff of Pedalers, have traveled in our own lives. Not something we picked up because it is trendy.
We keep our operations local. Our guide teams come from the area they guide in, bringing you not only local expertise, but it keeps our spending local and avoids the carbon impact of flying foreign guide teams in. We also strive to use hotels and restaurants that are locally owned and operated.
We keep our operations low impact environmentally, using newer more efficient support vans and keeping their driving to a minimum; using washable dishes and utensils on our camping programs, not paper products; collecting and storing gray water and cooking water from our camp kitchens, then disposing of it in an approved dump station.
Our guests are educated into the region's culture, both its surface way of life as well as its hidden inside rules and morals. We help our guests to travel in a fashion that is polite for that area. In remote regions where tourism is new and traditional ethnic cultures still prevail, we try to minimize our impact on these villages, by not visiting the same one repeatedly and creating a dependence on tourism for that village, but rather we visit different villages each time as much as is possible.
We discourage our guests from bringing toys as gifts from home, instead taking them to local market to purchase school or food items that are more appropriate as gifts to villagers along the way.
