Mountain Biking Central Thailand

If you’ve ever visited Bangkok then you would be forgiven for writing central Thailand off as MTB territory. Our Trips however take you on a one day trip just two and a half hours outside Bangkok to a 12 mile long xc single track trail in the mountains.

Does this sound to good to be true? Well, the remote trails we use are technical and challenging for even an experienced mountain biker. They consist of steep up and downhill sections with sandy soil combined with rugged rocks and rock slab drop offs. The tracks are tough and technical but as with most good flowing single track, a less experienced rider can creep through, while more experienced riders can up the wattage and in doing so up the difficulty level.

We will supply you with a front suspension hard tail mountain bike, a helmet and a camelbak pack. All water, food and other drinks are free.

Our instructors with their knowledge and experience can take on some fantastic riding – technical descents, challenging climbs and great single track.


The green trail consists of two great loops of fast flowing single track. It can be quite technical at times but keeps rewarding the rider with smooth flowing single track descents.

There are about two or three streams to cross but these are relatively dry in the cool season (late November - January) and the dry season (January to April).
The Blue trail is an excellent introduction ride into downill single track and is deffinately not an easy ride.

The first part of the trail is a great single track loop with technical climbs and rewarding fast flowing sinle track descent. And as we start to climb again we are met by our support vehicle where it drives us to the peak of Khao E- To where we have refreshments before start our 2 mile singletrack down the less technical but still thrilling left side of Khao E-To mountain.



After that we crossing over onto the right side and hit some faster flowing singletrack before meeting back at the support vehicle for some food before heading back to Bangkok.

There are about two streams to cross but these are relatively dry in the cool season (late November - January) and the dry season (January to April).
