3 Day Guided Hidden Helicopter Crash Off-Road Motorcycle Tour in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand

On the first day, Let's Ride the World does hotel pick up or airport pick-up from Chiang Mai international airport. The tour starts in Chaing Mai and you'll go to the small tourist town of Pai and the quiet remote village of Wieng Haeng. You will also ride all the way up to the border in the Thai jungle where you can see over Myanmar.

The program has many different routes for each of my tours so this can be done by beginners to advanced riders. However, it is an intermediate level trail for best results. On average, you will ride 150 to 180 kilometers per day ranging from the technical single trail to twisting gravel roads.

The bike

On the off-road tours, Let's Ride The World offers the CRF250 that are fully customized to the terrain you will be riding. They also have a selection of the KLX250 now available for those that would prefer it. They make their bikes durable so you can carry on in almost any circumstances. They are great fun to ride and with the setup, have a good punch to blast your round the dirt. Bikes are subject to availability so book as far in advance as you can.

Driving license

You should have a valid international driving permit (IDP) or valid license with motorcycle amendments. For the off-road tours, this is not always required. Send an inquiry to Let's Ride the World for more information.

Luggage

If you have any excess luggage, you can store it at Let's Ride The World's office at no extra cost. They also provide you with luggage carriers to bring anything you want along with you.

Riding gear

Let's Ride the World has a stock of helmets, jackets, gloves, knee guards, and off-road boots. If you have your own gear, they suggest you bring it if you can. Everybody likes to wear their own clothes rather than someone else’s.

You can buy motorbike gear in Chiang Mai. Although the brands you are used to will cost more, there is a wide selection of other brands that Let's Ride the World's staff have tried and tested, that surprisingly hold up to the mark.
