About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Trip128689156840 contributionsMorning City Life CyclingI was the only one who signed up for today's trip. The tour guide said that I was a VIP. He paid close attention to my riding status along the way. He also gave detailed introductions to each scenic spot he visited. He also helped take photos and videos along the way, especially since he could ride while riding. It’s really cool to shoot a video while riding! By the way, he can also make coffee, so remember to try it next time!Written November 27, 2024
- Tomáš P0 contributionsFun ride ✌️I hd a chance to ride with Kom. The journey was perfect, tough in the beginning and on the incline, but the experience was really great. I enjoyed it ✌️ We had couple of technical issues during the way, but Kom was well prepared for everything. So there is nothing to worry about.Written November 26, 2024
- elysi0x0 contributionsKom need his Hoka's hehehe!Let me start by thanking our guides, Kom and Vivi. They warmly welcomed us, and we truly enjoyed their presence. Apologies for forgetting my backpack, which caused a small setback. Now, back to the incredibly beautiful experience of the tour. We absolutely enjoyed it and shared so many laughs with the Trailheads team. The stunning landscapes we saw will always stay with us, and I will forever cherish this experience. Thank you, Trailheads, Kom, and Vivi!Written November 22, 2024
- Y8893OQscotte0 contributionsMore birds than you think ViviBoth guides where fantastic with great personalities and great language skills. Vivi made me laugh and helped me engage with local traditions. Even if it didn't go to plan hahaha.Written November 17, 2024
- 947cathl0 contributionsCool City Cycle Tour - Best Guide EVER!!!Brilliant experience. The whole vibe at Trailhead is very cool. Vivi my guide was exceptional. It was so chilled following her, a local along side streets and visiting smaller less "touristy" temples that I'd never have found without her. Bicycle is the perfect vehicle for exploring central Chiang Mai. Vivi also introduced me to local master herbalist because I am interested in traditional healing methods and this was a very special experience. Vivi also chose an authentic northern Thai food stall for lunch and it was the BEST Thai food I had in my whole time in Thailand. Thank you Vivi...!! FYI... Google maps takes you to the wrong spot.... Trailhead is actually on a side street not far from where Google maps thinks they are.. DO IT!Written October 29, 2024
- stevetO3036RU0 contributionsFab bike trip to Sticky WaterfallFantastic mountain bike trip with Trail Head to Sticky Waterfalls. Very well organised from start to finish, high quality bikes and an amazing route including a boat ride across a reservoir, cycling through the jungle (visiting a bat cave) and ending at the waterfall for a refreshing swim. Kom And Chu were excellent hosts, really looked after us and took many fantastic videos and photos for us that were emailed to me. Highly recommendWritten October 23, 2024
- timr8990 contributionsA top quality experienceA really professional and very friendly organisation and an amazing route through forest on a mix of single track and dirt roads. YT full suspension bike was in great condition and Lek, my guide, was fantastic. It’s worth noting that because of the heavy rain in Northern Thailand at the moment much of the route is extremely slippery and some tracks slightly washed away making the Buffalo Soldier route quite challenging. A very welcome lunch at the end in stunning surroundings. All top quality from start to finish.Written October 2, 2024
- tonifL3575ZX0 contributionsVivi “no ka oi”! 🤙🏼👍👏This was a great tour. We enjoyed the Silver Temple and Silver Hall, additional temple where we fed the catfish, side roads and alleys where we saw the daily life and gardens of the local families. Warorot Market, we loved the flowers and exotic things for sale. Vivi was a great tour leader!!! We really enjoyed ourselves. It was an adventure, we’d do it again.Written September 28, 2024

- Crystal B0 contributionsExploring safely on bikesHad an excellent experience. We were greeted with a welcome drink at the coffee shop and spent a half day ride with our guide. It was just the two of us so a very personalized tour. We navigated streets, alley and bridges safely. There was time for drinks and lunch. Would recommend to anyone for a way to get outside of the old city and explore a bit.Written August 30, 2024
- 629kristab0 contributionsIncredible Mountain Biking Experience!We had the most incredible time! My boyfriend and I signed up for the Buffalo Soldier run. It was a good mix for beginners and more experienced mountain bikers (I was a beginner and my boyfriend is more experienced but we had so much fun!). The guides were wonderful at teaching me the gears and bike seat tricks. They took my boyfriend on a few side more technical tracks while me at the other girl did the main one adjacent to it. I wouldn't change a thing! Definitely not for those that aren't in good shape; it was an adventure and a great workout! Muddy and tons of fun!Written August 23, 2024
- B_P100 contributionsSmoke on the WaterDid a second ride during my Chiang Mai trip with K. Lek. Smoke on the Water was much more off-road riding and for this one they provide high quality full suspension bikes in excellent condition. Had a fantastic day exploring the forests near Chiang Mai. Plenty of fun flowy downhill with a couple of challenging technical sections and some lung busting uphill climbs. Would highly recommend this ride for those with some prior mountain biking experience looking for a fun day out in Chiang Mai.Written August 15, 2024
- B_P100 contributionsGreat family ride with professional companyGreat family ride with professional guide and support. An easy ride for the family and inexperienced riders taking in some stunning scenery. Quality hardtail bikes provided. Khun Kom was a great guide and K. Lek followed all the way in the van providing drinks and snacks along the way and guns option to skip the toughest climbs if needed. Would highly recommend as a great activity in Chiang Mai.Written August 15, 2024
- danielkenw0 contributionsBrilliant day mountain bikingWe had a brilliant day with Trailhead. We went on the Buffalo Soldier tour which took us through the forests and villages above Chiang Mai. Everything was really well organized and all equipment was of a good standard. It was mainly on dual track with some optional single track sections which were quite technical. Part of our family went on the Sticky Waterfall mountain bike tour which they also really enjoyed. The highlight of our stay in Chiang Mai.Written August 14, 2024
- renee v0 contributionsMust do when visiting Chiang MaiAlthough it was raining, we had a really fun tour with Lek and Tik. Everything was perfectly arranged, from the transfer to the bikes, the F&B, the pictures/video’s and the encouragement to climb the steep hills (for Dutch people not very easy). They also shared some nice facts about the surroundings. All in all a must do when visiting Chiang Mai. No better way than to get to know the beautiful area of this part of Thailand.Written August 2, 2024

We loved our tour with Trailhead - everything was very well organised, the route was beautiful and the equipment was excellent. The route goes through rice paddies, some woods and rural villages, both paved and double tracks.
We were kept well hydrated and well fed throughout the tour, and while it does require some basic level of fitness, the guide made sure to accommodate everyone's abilities. At the end there is an extra uphill bit you can do if you're up for the extra challenge.

The tour was very well organized and we were taken good care of. We were received by the cheerful and lovely Vivi at the hotel from the start. She and her colleagues accompanied us throughout the tour, and made sure all of us were safe and none were not left behind. Vivi and her colleagues including Lek were also very thoughtful and amazed us with ice towels, chilled drinks, watermelons and Thai snacks when we were sweaty and thirsty.
They also brought us to a picturesquw restaurant after the tour where we had nice Thai food next to a pond and under the trees.
The other good thing about the tour was that the vans that accompanied us throughout the ride were air conditioned and in decent shape. The bikes and the helmets were also in good conditions.
As for the routing, we couldn't see the "fields of gold" because it wasn't harvest time but the place we went by was nice enough.
We enjoyed every bit of it. We joined another tour the next day and that tour paled in comparison in every aspect.

My wife and myself booker rural experience route. But on the day when I told the guide that my wife was just beginner rider, he showed us alternative route with the short video illustration as well. So we can visualize what to expect. The trail was very enjoyable and relaxing. Along the way, the guide and driver prepared some fruits for us also for refreshment. Overall the trail was fascinating and the service was above and beyond. Highly recommended.

I booked this awesome tour through our hotel (2000thb pp). The package included hotel pick-up and drop-off, bikes, helmets, drinks & snacks during the ride, amazing cycling guides and a delicious lunch at the end. There were only 7 riders on the tour + 2 guys cycling alongside us + 2 cars with extra guys in case of an emergency/ for snacks. The route was stunning and we travelled ~36km around rice paddy fields, banana plantations and villages of rural Chiang Mai. The tour guides catered to the needs of the riders, e.g. if people were slower, the second tour guide would hang back to make sure that person was okay. Trailhead suggested that this was a ‘mild’ ride. I think that a moderate level of fitness is required given that it is road and mountain trails with steep inclines and descents at times (in my opinion - I am NOT a seasoned cyclist). At the end of the tour, we were driven to lunch which was at this gorgeous restaurant which was a bit off the beaten path. All in all, give this cycling tour a crack if you want to see real Chiang Mai.

This trip was amazing. The crew [Vivi and Kom] were professional , super nice and helpful.
They looked after our group super well right from the start. They have fulfilled and surpassed our exception. We were looking for something to do out of the city of Chiang Mai and it did not disappoint.

Great experience, the trail is manageable for someone like me, who rarely ride a bicycle. Lek, our guide is very friendly and cheerful. The bike provided is really light, the ride going uphill become much easier with their bike. Will definitely join them again for different routes when I revisit Chiang Mai next time.

We love riding dirt roads and in rural settings. This tour got us out of town to see the countryside and up and down rolling dirt roads without the need for pads and single track craziness. Loved it and wished it was a bit longer! Easy going staff, good gear and a great day trip.
