Christine Bodmer, Colorado, USA

Champ took every opportunity to have us see behind the scenes in Thailand. Whether it was back alleys in Bangkok, monkeys ‘working’ just off our bike path, a celebration of a monk’s ordination, or a spontaneous day off to take speed boats to a National park on a particularly hot day, we felt we were experiencing special moments that we’ll always treasure.

Sophie Watson, Milton Keynes, England

I loved every minute of this trip from the fascinating ride down the back alleys of Bangkok to the sleepy villages along the Gulf of Thailand coast .

Our guide was so thoughtful and took account of everyone’s different needs and took us to the most wonderful places and restaurants. A truly memorable trip.

Champ was the most wonderful guide. He had to deal with my falling off my bike on day 3 and breaking my wrist, but he arranged walks for me and was very considerate of my predicament. I was so glad I stayed on rather than go home after the accident. Mr Song kindly took me to 2 hospitals (the first was too busy) and they were both always very good humoured.

They could not have been a better pair to guide and drive us around Thailand and introduce us to sights we would never have seen as ordinary tourists. 

Andrew Dawson , Rossendale, England, United Kingdom

Excellent 2 week authentic experience with 2 very good guides!

Satu Hietanen, London, UK

A great trip. The best scenery and food I've had on any bike tour so far. Plenty of free time to enjoy the beaches/pools after riding.

Our guide Yo was especially good at catering for my partner's various special dietary requirements. Would definitely recommend this trip.

Karen Allworthy & Geoff Messenger, London, UK

Our Thailand trip was excellent, we were a very small group so was very pleased that redspokes ran the trip.

Amazing food and scenery, both Tom & Pangupong were very good at looking after us.

Dawn Horsburgh, Kilninver, Scotland, UK

Thanks redspokes for an inspirational trip.  I’ve been keen to visit Thailand for several years - the cycling, views, culture, food and company did not disappoint. 

A jam packed fortnight of amazing experiences, memories gained and I am already wishing I was on another trip :)

Louise Farley, London, UK

A fantastic blend of culture, local gastronomy and exercise - what better way to explore a country than by bike!

Michael & Christine Lawton, Rhyl, Wales, UK

Our fourth tour with redspokes and it will not be the last. The information supplied before the tour was really very good. The guide Mr Elle (Al) and his wonderful team of drivers/assistants were excellent and always ready to deal with any issues quickly. We were provided with a constant supply of cold drinks, fresh fruit, biscuits and crisps on the regular stops en route. 

A pleasant cycle down the coast of Thailand passing through some beautiful scenery, riding through traditional fishing villages and plantations producing latex from rubber trees and some growing bananas and coconuts. Regular stops to meet the local Thai people, often at work in the fields or processing coconuts.

Kevin Edkins, Warwickshire, England, UK

I had a fantasic 13 day trip. Very well organised. I have previously been on 4 trips with Exodus The trip leader was the best I have had. He was most helpful and did his upmost to make everyones holiday as happy as possible.

Susan Redfern, Rochdale, England, UK

If you are a regular cyclist, like to emerge yourself into the local way of life and don't mind a bit of sweat.

This is the trip for you. We had a blast.

Barry Murphy, Dublin, Ireland

I cannot think of anything negative to say about cycling around south Thailand. It never felt like we were in a rush or being pushed from A-B. There were varying levels of fitness, but never any feeling of competition or one up manship. The food was good, the group atmosphere was fantastic. I will definitely use redspokes again.

Stuart Butler, Guernsey

The Thailand cycle tour was exactly as it was promoted - a perfect balance of activity and relaxation. The cycling was enjoyable rather than extreme, covering. 670km along quiet back roads and coastal routes.

We also had plenty of oppurtunites to swim in the sea, with the highlight of the trip for me when we all went for a dip during a coffee stop on an unspolit small bay on the way to Ban Krut! Quite frankly I loved every minute of the tour and I think it will be a hard one to beat!

Derek Stewart, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

Absolutely wonderful trip, new adventures every day, so much to see as we cycled past. We just loved cycling off the beaten track, on quiet routes. The views and wild life were awesome. Al, our guide, so knowledgable and Tao, our driver, mechanic, snack provider, cold drinks of every sort at our request.

We couldnt give one highlight of the trip - just loved it all. Al & Tao gave us a lovely experience - a trip to remember.

Charlotte Wheeler, London, England, UK

This was my first cycling holiday...and I'm hooked!

Great secenery and a lot of laughs; but it was David's research, consideration for the group and non-stop hard work that really made the trip. Thanks for such a great time.

Jackie & Chris Bell, Rochdale, England, UK

A first for us as we have never been on a cycle tour before & are new to cycling.

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip, the pace was just right and we found the guide and the drivers to be very friendly, helpful, and encouraging. We would definitely consider another tour.

Tony Halahan, Oetrange, Luxembourg

This was my first cycle organised tour and it was monumental. The tour leader David was very attentive, knowledgeable and switched on, and the support provided by the local Thai cycle company was good. The other guests were also very keen and interesting. The preparation for the tour was thorough, the daily agenda was perfect. Accommodation and food was very adequate and allowed us to really enjoy the Thai way of life.

I would recommend this tour to adventurers who like plenty of cycling (on 2 days we did over 100km), and a close look at Thai people and their country.

Dawn Manning, Calgary, Canada

Thanks as always to redspokes for a great experience. I'll be back!

This trips a great cycling experience for people who want a relaxed tour and new to cycle touring.

Nigel & Jen Fielden, Cheshire, England, UK

Perfect escape from the wet and cold UK winter.

Comparatively easy cycling, coupled with attractive destinations each day, make this a relaxing and enjoyable tour.
