チェンマイ パラダイス 1 日サイクリング アドベンチャー ツアー

We've been on countless bike tours (at least thirty) in various countries around the world. Europe, Latin America, Central America, Southeast Asia... This, however, was the worst experience we've ever had. Thailand Bikes Chiang Mai is run by an arrogant Dutchman. The first thing he said was, "I only accept cash, no cards, so he doesn't have to declare anything." We chose the "Chiang Mai Paradise Day Tour," which covered 45km of diverse, unique Thai scenery?? Price: THB 2390.00 per person! Quite pricey, especially for Thailand, so you should expect something in return, right? However, the trip included 22km along the Ping river and 22km back along the Ping river! We could have figured that out ourselves, of course, but we saved THB 2390.00 per person! The attractions: a coffee stop along the way, where the guide tried to convince us they'd grown the coffee themselves. Pottery: five children from a nearby school were allowed to have a bit of an amateur fun! The guide stayed behind us the entire trip. At every intersection, we had to wait five minutes for him to arrive. We think the man had never cycled before. Beside, his boss had given him a very old bike. Because we had to wait for him constantly, we asked if he was reachable on WhatsApp. Never heard of it! Upon arrival, we made our intentions. The Dutch owner only responded us on a arrogantly way!! "This company is really not worth the high prices they ask for their trips. Please, “Go elsewhere!"!

Brilliant day out with a knowledgeable, caring guide. It really is a little adventure with wonderful food and fascinating insights into Thai life from being a monk to buying a house.

Beautiful walk of 50 km through the countryside or small roads, some stops in small craft workshops and a local market. The bikes were not new, we had to change mine along the way because the chain was constantly jumping. I would have appreciated more contact with the local population. The price/quality ratio seems quite high to me.

We had the best guide ever with "We"! He took us to rice fields talked to us about them, which was very interesting. We visited Burmese children and saw how they lived. We went to a rice cracker family run factory and got to sample the goods. We went to a family run sticky rice business. A temple we went to was really different and very interesting. Our guide made it interesting -- he was simply terrific. I recommend this tour highly.

Beautiful day with our guide Mr Wat. Discovery of rice fields and villages around Chiang Mai. Really easy on the bike. And as much information and explanations as possible with our guide. Recommended.

This bike tour is a must! Our tour guide Wit was very personable and shared a lot of information about the culture, Buddhism, farming life, and how the Thai shop for food. The terrain was flat so although I had not ridden a bike in 15 years the cycling was not at all difficult. We stopped at about 12 places along the way and Wit helped take pictures for us. The bikes were also in very good condition. Wit stopped to buy us cold drinks and more water when he thought we should have it. He was a great guide and really made the trip a terrific experience.

We spent the day with Wit, he showed us the south of Chiang Mai. Local markets, small family businesses and we tasted plenty of delicious specialties! Wit speaks very good English and even taught us a few Thai words. No real difficulty cycling so it's great for all levels. Thank you very much!!

On December 30th we made a beautiful bike ride in the area of Chiang Mai. We went on the road with our guide Wit, who talked very enthusiastically and extensively about the culture and nature in the area. And in good English. That is why we came into full contact with local Thai people. We sampled local produce, fruit along the way and ate at his favorite local lunch spot. Also nice is that you have nowhere the idea of having to buy anything. Not at the potters, not at the rice cake factory, not anywhere. Fine guide and fine bikes too. Absolutely recommended.

It was a nice trip with nice local Lunch, nice visits and to finish off with a visit to the local market with a taste of typical delicacies. Top day!
