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.
