Many travellers know Thailand for its coastal attractions, street food and popular temples but if you want to truly discover its hidden attractions with your friends, a road trip is the most ideal choice. From traversing amidst breathtaking Thai countryside to exploring pristine caves, rivers and monuments, these roads will take you on the adventure of a lifetime:

June 20, 2024

Mai Hong Son Loop

The Mae Hong Son Loop is one of Thailand’s most famous and longest motorbike routes, spanning 600 kilometres. Commencing in Chiang Mai, these roads will take you and your travel buddies across the green paddy fields, hidden waterfalls, and breathtaking mountain scenery in the northwest. As you ride past the quaint towns of Mae Sariang, Mae Hong Son, and Pai, don’t forget to witness the unique culture of Northern Thai tribes and taste the delicious Lanna cuisine. Note that these hilly roads have plenty of hairpin bends and steep climbs so make sure you are well prepared.

The City of Waterfalls, Kanchanaburi sits at the confluence of the Khwae Noi and Khwae Yai Rivers, forming the Mae Klong River.
