About this tour
A six-hour guided cycle through Khao Lak's backroads and old town, mixing easy pedalling with stops at local spots that reveal the region's layered history. You'll ride a hybrid bike, eat lunch sourced locally, and have a support vehicle trailing behind for breaks or emergencies. The tour funnels profits toward Baan Tharn Namchai, a children's shelter, and broader community work across Thailand—so your day out doubles as quiet aid.
Highlights
- Ride quiet lanes past working farms and small settlements
- Chat with locals at family-run stops along the route
- Learn Khao Lak's post-tsunami recovery and resilience firsthand
- Lunch at a neighbourhood spot, not a tourist trap
- Support vehicle follows; rest whenever you need
What to expect
You'll spend most of the day on a Cannondale hybrid on flat to gently rolling terrain—no technical skills needed. The pace is conversational; expect 15–20 kph with frequent pauses to take in views, chat with residents, or simply catch your breath. Lunch comes midway, usually at a local eatery rather than a sit-down restaurant. Between stops, the driver shadows you in a support vehicle, so mechanical failure or fatigue won't strand you. The arc is less about fitness challenge and more about seeing how a town rebuilds and stays connected.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have serious heart conditions. All fitness levels welcome otherwise. Helmet, insurance, and English-speaking guide are included. No alcohol sold, but soft drinks and fresh fruit are on tap throughout.
