The River of Kings Ride through Thailand exposes you to the kingdom’s ancient history and colorful culture. From Chiang Mai, the capital of north Thailand, we cycle through the Chao Phraya river valley where Thai civilization began and visit the ancient cities of Lampang, Sukhothai, Khampeng Phetand Ayutthaya. The route follows quiet back roads where you will be amazed at how little traffic is encountered. Cycling takes you off the beaten track to the lesser known towns of Pa Mok and Uthai Thani, where you will definitely find the “land of smiles." The scenery is ever changing as it starts in the mountainous north, then continues through the emerald paddy fields of the central rice belt and then to the rugged jungles of Kanchanaburi before arriving in the vibrant metropolis of Bangkok.

    We have done many cycling tour in the last years but the River of Kings Tour was just one of the greatest tour we have ever done. This tour has an excellent combination with the start in Chiang Mai then following the rivers and before arriving in Bangkok visiting the area of river Kwai.

    We booked a privat tour for 2 people and it was just fantastic with Tee as tour guide and Bee as driver and support. We were feeling like travelling with friends.

    The trip profile is mainly on flat small roads and just a few hills, so that we could enjoy the wonderfull countryside and had still enough time and energy to visit historical sites.

    We would like to say thanks to all the staff from SpiceRoads who made it possible that we had once again such a fantastic bike tour in Thailand. Many thanks to Ms. Rattanaporn who managed the emails with always very quick answers to our questions. Then we had this year the chance to see the office of SpiceRoads and were very impressed how many people are working there, also thanks to the mechanics who always provided very good bikes.

    We are looking forward to see you next year and wish you a happy new year 2009.
