Who knew the riding could be so good! Our first research trip in Northern Thailand and Laos quickly turned into not just a reason, but a priority to make you and the rest of our Customers aware of the incredibly fun riding opportunities they can also experience here in Southeast Asia. With sore cheeks from smiling so much within our helmets, this page shows the Guided Group package for this route that we've now put into operation. (Inquire with us about Self-Guided for the Laos portion.)

With the historical Old City of Chiang Mai serving as the start & finish of this journey, the incredible mixed variety of terrains and encounters between is something Riders simply must experience. Through a constant ribbon of valley and mountain riding, across the Mekong River into Laos, back up through the infamous Golden Triangle with Myanmar, and with countless smiles from our host citizens along the way, this is it. Riders coming in April get to experience Songkran, the New Year celebration and non-stop, nationwide water fight with the fun Thai & Laotian people. This it. This is pure joy and motorcycle riding. The food is incredible, the people of Thailand and Laos welcome adventure bike riders with beautiful smiles, and absolutely nothing we explain or show you on this page will compare to actually being there for this experience!

 

Day 7 – Nan to Bo Kluea & Pak Beng

As the riding quite literally seems to somehow get better and better, say goodbye for now to some remote passages within Thailand on the way to the salt-based village of Bo Kluea near the Laotian border. The latter part of the day involves yet another reason to scream within one’s helmet, as “I’m riding a motorcycle … in Laos!!!!” may race through one’s mind upon crossing the border (where we switch from the left to right side of the road.) The friendly people of yet another beautiful country in Southeast Asia will be smiling upon you as new subtleties and traditions are discovered on this epic adventure ride.

Day 8 – Pak Beng to Luang Prabang A shortish day of twisty riding takes riders even further into the heart of Laos, and the opportunity to explore another UNESCO World Heritage Site who’s name literally means “Royal Buddha Image.” The excellent pedestrian walking, shopping, and dining atmosphere in this well-preserved and beautiful city also serves as a launching point to reach the famous Kuang Si Waterfall, where multiple levels of cascading beauty make for an obvious visit.

Day 9 – REST DAY in Luang Prabang

While it was possible to visit Kuang Si waterfall setting yesterday, perhaps a full day of relaxation could use a little bit of riding, for which this short round trip ride should be saved. As mentioned, multiple other exploration opportunities from elephant rides to nearby cave attractions all allow us to enjoy some off-bike experiences as well.

Day 10 – Luang Prabang to Oudomxay Sandwiched between the banks of the Ou River and limestone-rich mountains around Nong Khiaw, moments with a little bit of elevation will cool things off, while rich green foliage surrounds the path of the day. Notice that your total riding time in a straight line has been reduced to a mere moment or two of each day, before another beautiful overnight setting awaits you.

Day 11 – Oudomxay to Pak Beng

Looping back to a familiar and important overnight location on the Laotian side of this trip, this portion of the trip could change or be customized as other border crossing locations avail themselves in coming years. Until then, there will be no joy lost in re-visiting the “other side” of routes leading into this valley setting.

Day 12 – Pak Beng to Chiang Khong While the warmth of the weather and people in Laos might be tough to leave behind, at least you can say, “I’ve been there,” and know that it’s okay to leave with plans to return someday. For now, cross back into Thailand (and return to the left side of the road) while writhing your way toward the Golden Triangle and fun town of Chiang Khong along the shores of the Mekong River. Looking back across the water at Laos, a smile will undoubtedly adorn your face, as you think about the many people who cast similar in your direction these past days.

Day 13 – Chiang Khong to Thaton

Finally leaving the Mekong River behind, the ride heads further inland while remaining in these northernmost spaces of Thailand. With the newly paved “Paradise Road” (as dubbed by Mr. Unkovich and other local Golden Triangle Riders) redefining the meaning of “sweepers,” today’s ride is yet another that has Riders celebrating the fact that they ride!

Day 14 – Thaton to Pai 

Day 15 – REST DAY – Pai, Thailand

Day 16 – Pai to Mae Hong Son 

Day 17 – Mae Hong Son to Chiang Mai 

Day 18 – Departure Day

Stay if you can or leave if you must, but we understand if you’re already thinking about a return to Thailand and Laos or what other incredibly fun experiences can be had in Southeast Asia on 2 wheels. We congratulate you sincerely on a safe finish, and hope you’ll share your thoughts, photos and videos on what it was like for you, riding this Thai-Laos Experience!
