Motorcycle Riding and Researching in Thailand and Laos
After years of searching for the next best place to ride, our team found what we were looking for: Northern Thailand and Laos in Southeast Asia! With friendly locals, incredible food, affordable travel costs, and endless twists and turns, this area is a dream for motorcycle riders. Check out The Northern Thailand Experience and start creating memories.
Why Southeast Asia?
Southeast Asia offers incredible riding experiences. Northern Thailand has well-paved roads, beautiful mountain views, and so many curves you’ll barely find a straight stretch! Across the border, Laos is more rugged, with dirt roads, river crossings, and remote villages. You’ll get a mix of adventure and natural beauty, which is why we knew we had to explore this area for our customers.
The Research Ride
To make sure we found the best routes, our team rode hundreds of miles, meeting locals and finding hidden spots along the way. We wanted to understand the roads, traffic patterns, and terrain to create an experience that would be unforgettable and safe. Each part of the trip was carefully planned so that we can now offer guided tours or self-guided packages. We handle all the details; you get to enjoy the adventure!
What to Expect
-
Scenic Mountain Roads: Northern Thailand is packed with scenic roads like the Mae Hong Son loop, where you’ll ride over 1,800 curves! It's an amazing place to lean into turns and soak in views of mountains and lush forests.
-
Authentic Culture: Crossing into Laos feels like stepping back in time. You’ll visit villages where modern life hasn’t quite reached, giving you a glimpse into a simpler way of living. You might even stop by temples, markets, and local eateries, where you’ll be welcomed with smiles and delicious food.
-
Varied Terrain: Thailand has well-maintained roads, while Laos offers off-road adventure. In Laos, be ready for gravel, dirt, and the occasional river crossing. It’s challenging, but the variety keeps every day interesting.
