Dear shredders...

I've got 2 weeks in Thailand in December. Can anyone recommend any decent routes or tours?

Ill be based in Bangkok, but prepared to travel around. Looking for either all day routes, 2-3 day routes, focus on seeing good sights, scenery but will consider anything & if there's some good challenging technical off road then all the better.

So far ive found the following websites:

http://www.mountainbiketoursthailand.com/

http://www.spiceroads.com/destinations/thailand

But any tips or first hand experience from you guys would be most welcome!

Cheeehz

    Thailand is not the best place to ride an MTB - it's simply just too hot and unrelenting sun.

    I was swetting in places I did not know possible on a moped just having to pull back the accelorator.

    Hmm. Yes the heat might be a problem. Maybe i'll just lie on the beach all day checking out hot chicks and drinking cold beer.

    Yes, far too hot.

    If you are determined though, there are some long unsurfaced tracks in Kanchanaburi Province and in Chiang Mai/Mae Hong Son Provinces.

    Yes, check the chicks are chicks before thinking they are hot :? otherwise it plays havoc with the mind.

    Also - drink the beer quickly when it's cold, cos it doesn't stay that way long.
