Road Cycling Bangkok to Phuket

We transfer 2-hours outside of Bangkok and start our coastal ride through a patchwork of salt pans and aquaculture farms. After lunch we transfer to the bustling beach town of Hua Hin where we stay at an elegant resort.

We cycle from Hua Hin into Sam Roi Yot National Park, riding below towering limestone peaks that dominate the landscape. Then, we head back along the coast, and ride parallel with railroad tracks, eventually reaching the stunningly blue waters of the Bay of Prachuap Khiri Khan.

Much of today’s route is lined by expansive coconut and palm oil plantations, a clear sign that we are nearing the south of Thailand! Our ride ends at the golden sands of Baan Grood.

Today is a rest day at our seaside resort in Baan Grood.

Today’s route traverses Thailand’s narrowest geographic point, riding along the coast and through a seemingly endless world of coconut and palm oil plantations. We cover over a 100 km but we’ll be rewarded with another secluded and quiet beach retreat to end the day.

We cross the Isthmus of Kra, which separates the Gulf of Thailand to the east from the Andaman Sea to the west. As the longest day of the tour, we maintain a steady pace accompanied by views of jungle-clad mountains before arriving in the city of Ranong.

We head south along the main provincial throughway, traversing the foothills of the Tenasserim Range. Our route showcases rural life on the Andaman Coast as we make our way to the very south of Ranong Province.

We continue our journey south through the rolling hills and expansive farmlands of Phang Nga Province. After exploring the historic tin-mining hub of Takua Pa, we take back roads that lead us to the sun-kissed beaches of Khao Lak.

We depart from Khao Lak and make a stop at a museum dedicated to the impact of the 2004 tsunami. Our ride then takes us over scenic headlands, rolling hills, and along picturesque shorelines before making the iconic crossing over the Sarasin Bridge to the island of Phuket.

Our tour has come to an end, but feel free to extend your stay on Phuket.
