          Amazing Bike Tour 😀
          Amon the bike tour owner was an amazing guide and shared his wealth of information as we rode throughout the countryside. The bikes, helmets and support vehicle was first class. We visited the White Temple and he was our own private tour person. I would recommend this bike tour.... that is family run to anyone who wants a real feel for the people and culture of beautiful Thailand.

          An unforgettable day between nature and culture
          We took part to a 50km day tour. They came to pick us up directly at our guesthouse. We visited sacred places and cycled on country roads, through crops, woods and small villages. Amon is such a friendly guide, always ready to answer any questions and very attentive to the safety of us participants in the ride. His sister, nice and smiley, organized delicious refreshment points for us along the way. An unforgettable day, thank you very much!

          This was our second day trip with Khun Bee. While nearly 8 years separated our visit the quality and friendliness were still great. A 55km day took us from the golden triangle to Tham Luang Cave. Thanks Khun Bee!

          Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
          Superb day's cycling around the countryside just outside the town. Bee is a fantastic guide, very chilled and helpful, without forcing anything, extremely knowledgeable about the local area for those curious enough to ask questions. Very good bikes, support car and plenty of water and delicious snacks. In the morning we pedalled through the rice, corn and pineapple fields, stopping for a break in a rubber tree plantation. Lunch at a small, simple rural restaurant - delicious, and the family owners really great if you interact with them. As the food coma was setting in, Bee gave us the option to go up to the waterfall in the pick-up, and we gladly accepted as we were still jetlagged and tired. Nice 15-20 minute walk through the jungle to an impressive fall, with an observation deck - shallow pool up to about knee height, water not too cold, and you can get behind one part of the fall into a little recess, if you like to go in the water, or otherwise stay on the deck. Back to the bikes, a nice Wheeee! down, quick stop to feed the fish by the river, then more countryside to the White Temple, arriving at 5pm (great time to visit...far fewer people, sun starting to set, and superb light for photos or simple contemplation. Bee carries sarongs for the ladies to cover their knees, blokes in decent shorts no problem. An hour at the temple, then a ride back to the guest house. Bee, his wife and team are lovely people, and I'd highly recommend this tour - for me, worth every penny!

          Excellent tour and great guide
          Excellent half day cycle tour with Amon. The bikes are in excellent condition and there is a focus on safety as well as enjoying the ride. Amon is an engaging individual, who has genuine strong family, health and spiritual values. He is a great guide and knowledgeable about most aspects of Thai culture, environment and society. He took us to visit a temple and we were well received by a large group of local people and the head monk , who were making clay figurines for the new temple being built. Then we cycled to a near bye restaurant for a delicious lunch. We cycle at home regularly and may do a longer tour next time and highly recommend this small family owned company.

          Best tour in Thailand!
          Bee is a conscientious, knowledgeable and hospitable host. 3 active couples 58-68 years young enjoyed an informative and entertaining half day cycle and white temple tour. Bee cycled at our pace and he stayed off main roads to keep us safe. The bicycles and helmets were in good working condition and the driver was ready with snacks and cold drinks. He took us to a fantastic authentic Thai food restaurant for lunch and gave us an amazing tour of the White Temple. Simply put… it’s been our favourite days in Thailand. Thank you Bee! We learned a lot

          Fantastic day trip by bicycle.
          Really enjoyable trip. Amon and all his family took really good care of us. I am not particularly fit but managed this trip comfortably. The bikes were modern with lots of gears to help me up the hills! We were only a group of 3 but we were all catered for. Regular refreshments stops along the way, fruit, muffins, rice cakes, cold drinks etc and a lovely lunch at a restaurant before visiting the White Temple. A great way to see the local countryside and learn about nature in the area. I would thoroughly reccomend this trip. Thanks Amon and all your family.

          Knowledgeable and friendly guides!
          Expert tour guides with extremely detailed knowledge of numerous routes to get you to the sites they publish. They are able to change the route on the spot to match your fitness level. Honestly they did extreme amounts of homework! We took the hot springs version and were not let down! We went to the back roads and felt like we really got a sense of how every part of rural Chiang Rai looked. At times we were alone with the guide on a quiet mountain dirt road with breathtaking views then other times we were in rural towns that were bustling. The variety was incredible! Add to that the guide (Amon's) knowledge of the area! He was able to answer numerous questions I asked (and I am a question asker!) with patience! He even took time to explain the Thai Royal family to us which is something I was always curious about. We ended up doing a private tour and I was a bit worried that it would be hard to make conversation or force it but it wasn't bad at all! I would one trillion percent recommend this as a must do event! My partner and I are also quite fit and found the 45+ km a challenge. I would absolutely recommend bringing electrolytes to maintain your balance. I didn't do that and I got horrible cramps towards km 43.

          Full day cycle through beautiful countryside of northern Thailand
          Agree with all the positive reviews. Bee took a small party of us on an all day tour of some of the most beautiful countryside I’ve seen in Thailand (so that’s saying something)! The cycling was not too hard (a few short, sharp steep climbs) but mostly on road. We absolutely got a full day’s cycling starting about 9am and finishing at 5pm so very fulfilling and satisfying. Enjoyed Bee pointing out to us the various crops growing around us and lucky enough to see a tarantula spider on the route. Nice lunch stop, visit to waterfalls and thermal baths. Lovely!

          Amazing experience, one of the highlights of our trip! A MUST DO!
          This was a beautiful and amazing experience, cycling through and seeing real rural Chiang Rai life. Firstly, our guide Amon, who is part of the family run business, was exceptional. Very friendly, fun-loving and just a very nice human being! We cycled through Rice fields as well as Rubber & Pineapple plantations. Amon educated us along the way. We ended up a bit delayed due to me getting a tyre puncture. Luckily, Amon fixed it pretty quickly. Lunch was delicious. The white temple, tea plantation and local market were superb also. Highly recommend this full day excursion! You will learn lots, view some stunning scenery and burn some calories along the way. Although the distance sounds a lot, you really didn't feel it. One important note is that I didn't book through TripAdvisor as it says it had no availability for the day we wanted. I actually contacted the company directly who had loads of spaces left and booked through them.

          A great way to explore the countryside in Chiang Rai
          Cycling tours in the countryside offer a wonderful way to explore scenic routes, quaint villages, and beautiful landscapes. Chiang Rai Bicycle Tour provides guided cycling trips tailored to different skill levels and preference. Guided by a seasoned local expert, your journey begins at the heart of Chiang Rai city. Pedaling away from the bustling streets, the tranquil countryside unfolds before you, adorned with emerald-green rice fields and clusters of traditional Thai houses, where the gentle smiles of locals welcome you into their world. It was a memorable trip for me and my guide, Mr Bee is a very knowledgeable, friendly and professional guide.

          5 Star Cycle Ride through the countryside beyond Chiang Rai
          This was an amazing cycle tour through the countryside around Chiang Rai. Bee and his team were super-professional: great bikes (Trek mountain bikes), support vehicle, plenty of fresh fruit and liquid refreshments and a great route....... small back roads and trails..... hardly any traffic. Bee was great fun and really informative. We cycled just under 60kms and visited some great sites: the White Temple, The Great Buddha and cycled across rice fields and farmlands, taking in a bustling local village market. A great way to get out and about in the countryside surrounding Chiang Rai. Bee also offers multi-day cycle tours across Northern Thailand from Chiang Rai........ so we may well be back!! Highly Recommended.

          🥳RECOMMENDED 🥂 Fantastic🥇
          ♥️RECOMMENDED🥳 📔 We enjoyed a 5 days tour with Bee in November 2023. 🥇 It was fantastic 🥂🥇🎯 Everything is organized to make sure you enjoy the journey and the experience. Bee and Don pick you up at your hotel on time, with all your stuff, then you get your bike at their office. The bike 🚴 is almost new, clean, repaired and very very well cared. You receive your helmet and everything starts immediatly… 🙂 We cycled along the country side according to our wishes as we were only 2 for 45-70 km per day. So Bee designed the journey for us. We had usual roads, path, country roads and off roads (funny and 100% safe). It was never difficult for us as most of the time it’s flat, with some up’s and downs. Bee always showed you where to go. We stopped regularly to have a refreshing break with drinks, snacks and fruits before continuing to visit temples ⛪️ , waterfalls 💦 , coffee shops ☕️ , rivers, museums, forests 🌳, boat, and much more… and it’s included in the tour ! We had very tasty lunches in different restaurants which were delicious. And also for dinners. So once and for all, everything was perfect for the adventure from city to villages to lost places. Everything ready, always helpful and explaining stories about the places… we loved it ! Don’t hesitate it’s fantastic 🥳🥇 Thanks you Bee and Don ♥️

          Great way of exploring Chiang Rai with a local
          We had a wonderful 1-day tour around Chiang Rai with Bee. I enjoyed the diversity of the landscape and the various stops that we did (the tea plantation and the white temple were delightful). Every hour or so we stopped to meet with the support truck (where we received water and snacks). Bee is a friendly and knowledgeable guide. I warmly recommend this tour.

        My wife and I did the half day white temple bike tour with Amon. It was a great way to see the local sites in Chang Rai. Our tour guide went above and beyond taking photos of us, providing detailed information about the area and the white temple. He also made it easy by providing hotel pick up and drop off. We recommend this tour for anyone looking to see the beauty of the Chang Rai countryside and the white temple.

        This was hand's down the highlight of our trip to chiang rai and it was because of Amon, our guide, that we experienced the secret side of the White Temple. Definitely take some time to take a look at the workshop behind the temple...almost as amazing. It was because of our guide that we got a special look at the country side and spoke to many of the locals along the way in the Pineapple field and rubber farm. Such a special memory for my mom and I. THank you, Amon!

        Perfect for our family! We really enjoyed riding to through the countryside outside of Chiang Rai. The tour was perfectly organised. Bee and his wife make the half day tour a very pleasant experience. Bicycles (MTB) and helmets were perfect (also for the children)!

        Bee is very knowledgeable and explained us about the areas, the vegetation and the White Temple.

        Highly recommended!

        Annon was a great guide, provided a safe and enjoyable bicycle trip through the Thai countryside en route to the White Temple. Short breaks for refreshments provided and so nice to have someone to explain the different buildings at the temple. Also managed to book this one day before which was great for spontaneous plans :) highly recommend!

        Our family of 4 had a great time on this tour! Amon was an excellent tour guide and very patient with my 10-year-old. He shared stories about the locals and gave us a tour of the White Temple. We loved seeing the countryside and could take pictures whenever we wanted. They provide bikes and helmets and followed all of the road rules to keep us safe.

        This was a great way to see the countryside around Chiang Rai, and to be honest, the bike ride was the highlight for us with the White Temple a 'nice to see' at the destination. The views are lovely and it was interesting to get a small insight into the agriculture of the area - rice & rubber plantations. As a bonus, the lunch was delicious!

        Be aware that the half day cycle is c. 22km long, and you finish at the temple at about 2pm (or thereabouts). The cycle isn't difficult, but there are some hills (noting that the bikes supplied are very good mountain bikes with good gear mechanisms). You will need at least a moderate fitness level to do this comfortably.

        Be sure to wear sunscreen and/or UV-protective clothing.

        We thoroughly enjoyed our half-day tour with Bee. Bee and his driver picked us up right on time from our hotel and we had a short drive to his business where we were quickly outfitted with helmets and correctly sized bikes. The route was very interesting and Bee provided excellent information. His driver met us on multiple occasions with cold water, fruit and snacks. This was a great way to see the countryside near Chiang Rai.

        It was a great tour with Amon. If you are interested in the landscape of the north and the more original Thailand, you should do this tour. It’s also much fun with the bicycle. You will have water all the time and also food on different stops on the way. Thanks to you and your sister, Amon. Greetings, Elli & Philipp

        This was great trip and really well run. It was very hot though, and pacing yourself and having a basic level of fitness is essential. The route was largely flat but with some hills that were challenging. the pace set was very reasonable. The kit provided was is really good nick, the guides were knowledgeable and friendly.
