This is truly a Sukhothai family business, run by husband & wife with the support of their extended family. Both tour guides Jib & his wife Miaow speak fluent English. They have also completed formal studies of history & toursim at university. They take great pleasure in sharing their knowledge of Sukhothai history, culture and Buddhism. We had many in depth conversations about these subjects and more during our very enjoyable tours.
The first tour we went on was the full day Historical Tour with business owner Jib & tourism student Bang. This full day tour covered approximately 43kms. Jib tailored our tour to accommodate and entertain our children aged 10 & 15 years. We were also pleased that our 10 year old daughter managed to ride the entire length of the tour.
We enjoyed the historical park tour so much that we arranged to also do a 1/2 day countryside tour. This was another very enjoyable day out for all of our family. Jib took us along the dirt roads through the farmland, passing the rice farms of his uncle, the chilli & Tobacco farm of his in-laws, to a Cricket farm, a rice wine distillery & also a fish smoking business. The 1/2 day tour covered approximately 30kms & was another very enjoyable day.
We enjoyed the tours so much that next time we travel to Thailand we plan to do a multi day tour.
I highly recommend Sukhothai Bicycle Tours they are an excellent way to experience Sukhothai.
Tip for travellers: wear padded cycling shorts if you own a pair.
