Thailand sits between the old world and the new. Its capital city, Bangkok is one of the most dynamic cities in the world; yet in Thailand's remote north there are villages scarcely touched by the modern world. It is a fascinating country to take an adventure holiday. Adventure holidays in Thailand vary from paved and unpaved biking, mountain biking, jungle trekking, safaris, elephant riding including enjoying watching elephants at works and experiencing to be an elephant trainer or Mahout, diving and snorkeling in Thailand's marine national parks, to bird watching in rich national parks.
Go Biking from the Central Plains to the Hilly North
Thailand's landscapes are so diverse, perfect for cycling trips. Even in Bangkok the metropolitan, you can make a cycling trip yourself. Within a few kilometres of the crowded capital are unseen sanctuaries which most tourists never visit. Discover the places where locals live and work; cycle past floating markets and the canal villages of Minburi. Stop to taste, to talk or just to take it all in. Or try a trail in Kanchanaburi, a province just 130 kms west of Bangkok, bordering Burma, to cycle along the River Kwai with the Death Railway and rich greenery backdrop. Also never miss to make a cycle holiday in the northern part of Thailand. Bike through northern hill tribe villages where ethnic minorities inhabit, to interact with locals, bike through scenic mountainous views, sample delicious local foods and extend your knowledge of Thai cultures.
