An authentic bike adventure through the hidden gems of Chiang Rai.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this full-day bike tour. If you want to see a side of Chiang Rai that most tourists never get to see, this is it! We cycled through local villages and along backroads, which gave us a true feel for the region.
Our itinerary included a local market, the iconic White Temple, a beautiful tea plantation, and the Big Buddha. Everything was perfectly organized. A huge thank you to Amon and to your family for such a wonderful and welcoming experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the authentic side of Chiang Rai. Don’t hesitate, just book it!

Visited 3 temples,...
Visited 3 temples, wandered through the market and had a great lunch with our tour guide. Lina was friendly and she was willing to take extra time beyond the half day, even recommending a restaurant for lunch and a coffee shop after our meal. It was a good introduction to Chiang Rai.

Best bike tour I’ve taken
Incredible bike tour ( the highlight of our time in Chiang Rai) and Bee and his wife were great guides. Both very informative and we learned great things along the way. The ride was picturesque; winding through the quiet countryside in local neighborhoods, passing banana and pineapple groves, along the canal and rice paddies. Snacks and water along the way and a nice Thai lunch included at the end after visiting the White temple. I highly recommend this tour.

A favourite of our trip!
Just returned from this great activity run by the lovely Bee and his wonderful family. The tour was well organised with high quality equipment provided.
Bee, our guide, was excellent. Friendly and informative with lots of stops to talk about the Lanna countryside.
Cold drinks and snacks provided along the way followed by a delicious lunch. When in Chiang Rai, take a cycle with Bee out to the White Temple through the scenic lands. You will not regret. A big thank you to Bee!

Excellent demonstration of Buddhist faith over the years.
The contrast between the new White Temple and the much older Emerald Buddha Temple was interesting. Both worth visiting, especially the latter from an historical point of view.

The whole experience was enjoyable. Took many pictures, had ample time in each spot, and our guide was very outgoing and friendly.

Highly Recommend
This is a must if you are traveling to Chiang Rai. The views were so beautiful. It was a nice way to see the countryside and take a unique route to visit the White Temple. There were six of us in the group, ranging in age, guided by a lovely and informative guide who was very accomodating to additional stops from what he had already planned. Their car met us at the White Temple so you can leave any belongings in the car if needed. We stopped for snacks and lunch along the route.

Amazing Country Road Biking Adventure!
We loved cycling along the country roads through rice fields and farm land. Visiting the white temple was very impressive -most impressive we've seen since we arrive i Thailand.

Great tour
This was a great trip. We were met from our hotel, had good bikes and helmets. Bee was an excellent guide with very good English. We saw rubber, rice, cotton, pineapples, teak, and lots more growing. Lovely scenery. Good snack break and pad thai for lunch. The white temple is well worth seeing. There were some hills but the bikes had easy to use gears.
