Your tour begins in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand's cultural capital, with a welcome dinner and briefing before riding south-west on Route 1095 toward Pai. The road is one of the region's great motorcycling stretches, with hundreds of bends through jungle ridges and misty valleys. From Pai you continue deeper into Mae Hong Son province, passing Soppong and the Tham Lod cave system before reaching the quiet border town of Mae Hong Son itself.
After a rest day in Mae Hong Son, the loop continues through Mae Sariang, Mae Chaem, and up to Doi Inthanon at 2,565 metres. You then ride via Chiang Dao and lakeside Phayao toward Chiang Rai and the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) before returning to Chiang Mai. A free day in the old city and a farewell dinner close the riding, with airport transfer on departure day.
Each riding day is paced for enjoyment rather than endurance, with fuel stops, photo breaks, and lunch included. The support van shadows the group so you can ride light, and the pilot rider sets a steady pace suited to mixed abilities within the group.
Groups stay intentionally small so every rider gets personal attention from the pilot rider and support crew. You ride unencumbered while luggage moves by van between hotels, and all meals are arranged so you can focus on the road and the landscape rather than daily planning.
Routes are chosen from years of riding in the region, combining iconic roads with quieter backroutes and genuine cultural stops. Motorcycle hire, fuel, accommodation, meals, and most on-tour activities are covered in one upfront price, with live availability and booking handled through the operator's reservation system.
Whether you are new to touring abroad or have ridden in Asia before, the format removes the usual friction of foreign roads, bike hire, and hotel bookings. You arrive at Chiang Mai airport and step straight into a ready-made adventure with a team that knows the roads, the hotels, and the best places to stop along the way.
Arrive at Chiang Mai International Airport for included pick-up and hotel check-in. Meet the group for a welcome dinner and trip briefing in the old city.
Rest and adjust to the time zone; riding begins the following morning.
Ride Route 1095 through hundreds of mountain bends to Pai. Arrive in the riverside hill town for an evening in the valley.
One of the classic motorcycling days of the north, with sweeping views over jungle ridges and misty valleys.
Continue deeper into the highlands via Soppong and the Tham Lod caves. Reach Mae Hong Son near the Myanmar border.
Forest peaks and quiet valley roads dominate the stage, with limestone cave systems and hill tribe villages along the route.
Optional temple visits, lakeside coffee, or a side trip toward Ban Rak Thai tea village. A full rest day before the second riding leg.
Recover and explore at your own pace in this quiet border town surrounded by forested mountains.
Scenic valley roads through farmland and forest with a lunch stop in Khun Yuam. Overnight in riverside Mae Sariang.
Authentic northern Thai town life away from the main tourist trail, with quiet backroads and local markets.
Remote rural riding through rolling hills and ethnic minority villages. Mae Chaem offers remote highland scenery and quiet valley roads.
A lesser-travelled gem of the itinerary with long stretches of empty tarmac through rice paddies and forest.
Climb to Doi Inthanon, Thailand's highest peak at 2,565 metres. Visit the twin royal stupas and waterfalls.
Stay near the mountain base in cooler pine forest air, with sweeping views across the national park.
Wind through countryside backroads toward Chiang Dao's limestone cliffs and jungle trails. The route drops from the highlands into rolling farmland dotted with fruit orchards and small villages.
Chiang Dao sits beneath Thailand's third-highest peak, and the surrounding area is one of the north's most scenic and underrated riding zones.
Peaceful northern landscapes lead to lakeside Phayao, a relaxed town on the shores of Kwan Phayao. The riding is gentler today, with open roads through rice fields and forested hills.
Evening by the waterfront or a relaxed dinner in town. A slower pace before the final loop east toward Chiang Rai.
Stop at Chiang Rai and the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) before returning to Chiang Mai via open highland roads.
Iconic photo stop and a long but rewarding riding day through some of the north's most recognisable landmarks.
Massage, temples, markets, or simply rest. Farewell dinner with the group in the evening.

Handpicked hotels and lodges are included every night of the 12-day tour, chosen for comfort, location, and a good night's rest after long days in the saddle. In Chiang Mai you stay in a well-rated city hotel within easy reach of the old quarter and evening dining. Pai offers characterful valley properties, while Mae Hong Son and Mae Sariang favour quieter riverside or town-centre lodges that reflect the slower pace of the border provinces.
Highland nights near Doi Inthanon and along the Mae Chaem route use comfortable hotels suited to mountain air and early starts. Chiang Rai and Phayao add lakeside or city hotels before the return to Chiang Mai for a free day and farewell dinner. Room type (single or twin occupancy) is selected when you book through the operator reservation system, and all properties include private en-suite rooms with the standard amenities you would expect from a guided tour of this standard.
Luggage is transferred between stops by the support van while you ride with just a day pack on the bike. Evenings are in walkable towns where you can explore local food, night markets, and culture at your own pace. All meals are included throughout the tour, from welcome dinner in Chiang Mai to breakfast on departure day, so you never need to hunt for restaurants after a full day on the road.
