Your ticket to the motorcycle trip of a lifetime in Thailand. Find out what to pack, how to prepare, where to rent your motorcycle, where to stay and what routes to ride in this incredible land.
Why ride in Thailand?
Thailand has the perfect combination of affordability, hospitality, and twisty roads and trails to suit any riding style. Whether you want to rip a sportbike through twisties or conquer trails for days on a dirtbike, Thailand has some of the best routes the world has to offer. And I'll reveal a few of my favorites in this free guide.
Accommodation is affordable and comfortable: a basic hotel room along your route might cost you $20 a night. Food is plentiful and delicious, at only a few bucks a meal. And the roads… don't get me started. Curves as far as the eye can see.
But navigating Thailand can be intimidating – unless you're armed with local knowledge. Written by an American living in Thailand, that's exactly what this guide offers. I'll get you through the tourist traps and into authentic Thailand: a place of serene beauty, comfort and safety that is likely unattainable (or unaffordable) in your home country. This guide isn't a travel blogger's opinion after a month in Thailand; these are the actual routes and tips I use to ride in this country every day, year after year.
