Phuket
Mountain Biking Day Trip
Mountain
biking is one of the best ways to explore the rural
countryside of Phuket and Phang Nga Province.
Phuket
is rapidly being concreted over and ‘developed’,
yet there are still plenty of places worth visiting
and plenty of people who are still very happy to see
foreign travelers.
You
can join a Phuket mountain biking day trip and journey
through rubber plantations, oil palm plantations,
through small villages, across rice paddies, up and
down hills, along single-tracks and on secondary roads.
We
offer a number of routes and itineraries from very
easy and laid-back to fairly strenuous. Mileage varies
according to your desires too. If you’d just
like to get away from the beach and bar scene of Patong
for a while, we can show you a few hours of the more
relaxed parts of the island. If you’d like to
explore some single-track routes and push the envelope
a bit, that’s fine with us. We’re here
to give you a memorable experience in any realm you
desire.
There
are lots of good roads on Phuket, but the back roads
often have potholes and broken sections, thus making
mountain bikes the most suitable form of bicycle.
Phang
Nga Province Day Trip
Our
favorite destination
for a day trip is Phang Nga Province. Just across
the bridge to Phuket, you'll find an area that seems
like the good old days of Phuket. Everyone is friendly
and they go out of their way to yell 'hello' at you
as you cruise past.
Everything
listed above in the way of terrain is available in
Phang Nga Province, just crank it up a few notches...
meaning, more trails, more single-track, more remote
secondary roads and plenty of rural farm land to pedal
through. 
There
are also some lovely little village restaurants where
we stop for snacks and lunch.
Join
us on a standard route or ask us to customize a route
for you. Mild to wild, Phang Nga Province has it all...
and then some.
