Surrounded by turquoise waters, white sand and lush jungles you will experience a rich mixture of cultures, from the Thai Buddhists to the Muslim seafarers. Along with riding though world class tourist destinations such as Khao Lak and Krabi, you will get to explore perhaps less well known areas of Southern Thailand, a rarely visited gem to be discovered. Starting on the Gulf of Thailand, we head inland through Khao Sok National Park - home to the last of Thailand's great rainforests. We then explore the paradise beaches on the Andaman Sea. After spending some time with locals, we then boat through Phang Nga Bay towards Krabi, home to spectacular limestone cliffs rising vertically from the sea.

Reviewer: Leanne South Thailand Tour, March 2009
Fantastic tour with great scenery and great roads to ride
on.
The variety of food Nat ordered for us was delicious and his
knowledge fantastic. Mr Lin is the best driver - always looking after us
and making sure we had our water and snacks.
This was our second Spice Roads tour and yes we will be back
to do another!
