We absolutely loved every moment of our road cycling tour through Southern Thailand. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Just like on our Bangkok–Phuket tour a few years ago, this trip was full of fun, fascinating moments, and authentic insights into the country and its people. Special highlight was our German guide Franz, who led the group with great professionalism, confidence, and true cycling expertise – we always felt safe and in excellent hands. Our Thai guide Tick and his team were fantastic. Tick shared so much interesting knowledge about Thailand and made sure we enjoyed amazing local food every day. The support team was always immediately there when needed – whether for a flat tire or any other issue. It often felt like even the smallest request was taken care of before you could even finish mentioning it. The level of service was simply incredible. We return home with unforgettable memories and are already thinking about booking our next tour. A big thank you 🙏🏻 to the entire Thailand Cycle Tours team – highly recommended!

Ich bin mittlerweile schon 3 Touren mit Lucien und seinem großartigem Team gefahren (Bangkok-Phuket, Bangkok-Hanoi, Phuket-LAngkawi). Alle Touren waren großartig in der Organisation von Anfang bis Ende. Die Strecken sind sehr gut und liebevoll geplant, die Räder und Service super, die Hotels fast immer sehr schön, das Essen sowohl Mittags als auch Abends wird sehr liebevoll ausgewählt und auf Extrawünsche wie vegane Ernährung sehr gut eingegangen. Alles in allem hatte ich bisher 3 absolut perfekt organisierte Wochen mit tollen Menschen sowohl das Team als auch die Reisegruppe und freue mich auf meine weiteren Reisen mit Thailand Cycle Tours in den nächsten JAhren. Ich kann die Touren und den Veranstalter nur jedem Rennradler wärmstens empfehlen :)

I booked the Hua Hin Explorer Tour for my parents. It was their first time cycling in Thailand and all I heard from them was how amazing everything was. The guides, the bikes, the accommodations and the tour itself was all planned perfectly and they will for sure come back for more trips! Thanks for taking good care of them!

We took the 6 day Self Guided Tour from Hua Hin in Thailand. Lucien and Suthara took care of all the planning, providing us with good quality bikes (one hybrid, one e-bike), a full set of gpx files for navigation, and some excellent resorts to stay in each night. We also had him organise daily forwarding of our luggage (this was part of a bigger trip). All the arrangements worked seamlessly. The cycling is not of itself particularly demanding for anyone accustomed to the distances involved but we did find the heat draining. Road surfaces range from decent tarmac roads to gravel tracks and everything in between as you are out in open countryside most of the time. A great way to see Thailand beyond the tourist traps.
