Amazing morning with Lek and Tik. Lek is an experienced biker and explained us what were the farmers doing in the fields. It was also very interesting to know about Karen tribe. The çandsvape is also beautiful. Really recomended experience if you want to visit a part of Thailand that is not touristic.

My wife and I had an amazing experience with Trailhead. We really wanted to do a bike ride while we are in Chiang Mai but we aren't experienced mountain bikers. The staff at Trailhead was so accommodating -- they were able to find us a suitable ride on short notice. Our guides, Lek and Kom, were fantastic from start to finish. They made sure we were comfortable with the gear, took amazing photos and videos, and kept us well-hydrated and fed throughout the ride. Lek's insights on the rural communities and knowledge of the area truly enriched the experience. Riding through the Chiang Mai countryside, farmland, and villages was an unforgettable experience and a great way to get back in nature after spending so much time in cities.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you and your wife had an amazing experience with us at Trailhead. It's wonderful that Lek and Kom were able to ensure you felt comfortable and supported throughout the ride. We always strive to create memorable and enriching experiences, and it’s great to know that the insights on the local communities and the beautiful Chiang Mai countryside made the trip even more special. We hope to welcome you both back for another adventure soon!
Although it was raining, we had a really fun tour with Lek and Tik. Everything was perfectly arranged, from the transfer to the bikes, the F&B, the pictures/video’s and the encouragement to climb the steep hills (for Dutch people not very easy). They also shared some nice facts about the surroundings. All in all a must do when visiting Chiang Mai. No better way than to get to know the beautiful area of this part of Thailand.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed and were impressed by your biking experience with us. We sincerely hope to have the pleasure of serving you again in the future.
The tour was a great experience. Our guide was very nice and together with Kim, the driver, they made a great team. The lunch was excellent, a really good choice of restaurant. The tour was more strenuous than we expected, but we had a lot of fun.
Vielen Dank für dein tolles Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass du die Tour so genossen hast und unser Guide sowie Kim als Fahrerin ein super Team für dich waren. Es ist schön zu hören, dass das Mittagessen und die Restaurantwahl ebenfalls überzeugen konnten. Wir sind froh, dass die Tour zwar herausfordernder war als erwartet, aber trotzdem viel Spaß gemacht hat! Vielen Dank für deine Empfehlung, und wir hoffen, dich bald wieder bei einer weiteren Tour begrüßen zu dürfen!
Great experience! The guides, Lek and Vivi, were both super friendly and helpful!!! The ride was long and hard at parts, but it was gorgeous countryside. They were super patient when we went slow (or walked the bikes up hills). Lek was giving my teens lots of tips to improve their technique. It was totally worth the work :)

We did the rural explorer with our two boys, aged 6 and 8. It was a great experience, helped by good communication before booking and also an excellent guide on the tour itself. Beautiful countryside and decent bikes. Plenty of water, snacks and good food at the end. A great adventure, all in all.
