 Phang
Nga Province offers
wonderful cycling opportunities. Phang
Nga Province is nestles between two well-established
world-class vacation destination - Phuket and Krabi.
Life here goes by at a slow and steady pace. It's this
laid-back lifestyle that draws us to this region. The
locals are extremely friendly and inviting.
This
region has virtually no tourism. The locals are very
friendly. This is authentic Thailand. As we ride through
the small villages, local Thais yell 'hello' and wave.
In traditional Thai village life, families spend a lot
of time chatting on their front porch or under trees.
To add to this nostalgic setting, there are many well-maintained
gardens with flowers and flowering trees.
The
countryside is mostly rolling hills. Some areas are
covered with rubber trees and others are covered with
oil palms. However, there is still some old-growth jungle.
A lovely river meanders through Phang Nga Province too.
Cycling
through rural Thailand
We
ride on paved roads, dirt roads, gravel roads
and single tracks through the villages, jungle areas
and plantations. The roads are in good shape and most
of the hills are small.
We designed trips in
this area to appeal to both experienced and first-time
cyclers.
No
mountain biking experience is required,
though you will likely enjoy yourself more if you have
a bit of familiarity with mountain biking.
