The Ultimate North Thailand Loop

Fly into Chiang Mai International Airport. Grab a short 10-minute cab ride to our 4-star hotel in the city — taxi is right outside the exit doors, approx. 150 THB.

Relax, swim in the hotel pool, get a massage, or explore this famous Thai city. At 6:00 PM the tour officially begins with a group briefing at the hotel. Afterwards we head to dinner followed by a few beers in the best haunts Chiang Mai has to offer — the perfect start to an epic adventure!

A day snaking our way along mountain ridgelines and river valleys through gorgeous remote countryside. A mix of clay, sand, rocks and water crossings all along a remote track that follows the Burmese border.

Breathtaking scenery at every turn as you start to realise you are in a true enduro paradise. The variety of terrain keeps every kilometre engaging — this is what the tour is all about.

More mesmerising scenery combined with challenging trails as we thread our way through the majestic Salaween National Park — still home to wild Asiatic elephants and tigers.

The super tight steep goat trails following the Salaween River lead to a bombardment of endless river crossings, through fast-paced 4x4 trails as we continue to follow the Burmese border northward, passing through quiet hill tribe villages towards the quaint and remote town of Khun Yuam.

Heading north to the famous small town of Mae Hong Son. Lots of river crossings, jungle trails and 4x4 countryside trails make for another superb riding day.

A nice warm shower and dinner usually follow, then it's time to enjoy a few beers at one of the town-centre lakeside bars and reminisce over the amazing few days of riding. You'll know there is still so much more awesomeness to come!

Continuing north towards the vibrant hippy town of Pai. We follow a relaxing winding mountain tarmac road for 25 km before hitting wide-open red clay roads and gravel tracks.

After lunch we head through some technical jungle single-track trails and then back onto windy tarmac roads into Pai town centre. We head for dinner at a restaurant that serves up some decent steaks and some of the best spare ribs you may have ever tasted. Then an evening of live music and vibrant bars.

Riding through red clay dirt roads, tight single-track jungle trails with many tall ancient trees, pine forests and remote hill tribe villages. Another insane, exhilarating and testing day of Enduro Madness heaven awaits.

This is a tough day folks — so tonight you will have definitely earned your beers! The terrain is some of the most spectacular and challenging of the entire tour.

A mammoth day of spectacular riding to finish the tour off in style. We don't cut any corners — a truly sensational ride home awaits.

Arriving around 4:30 PM back at our Chiang Mai hotel you will be exhausted yet buzzing from the accomplishment of successfully completing this epic loop of North Thailand. We put on a big celebration meal and head into downtown Chiang Mai city centre to celebrate the tour's end with more than a few well-deserved beers!

Head to Chiang Mai Airport to venture onwards to your next destination. Or perhaps extend your stay and chill for a few more days in beautiful Chiang Mai city — explore the Night Bazaar, Old City temples, street food markets, and some of the best Thai massage in the country.
