Intro

The ‘Land of Smiles’ certainly is a fitting descriptor for Thailand. Its welcoming people are the quintessential hosts, beaming ear-to-ear at every turn, creating the perfect vibe to enjoy this incredible country. As the world’s largest Buddhist Kingdom, it overflows with culture, tradition and style. The modern and ancient continually collide, providing an endless array of curious scenes – monks on cell phones, hilltribe people on motorcycle and ancient palaces backing onto modern high-rises. Having never been formally colonized by any European nations, Thailand and its people have managed to retain much of their national flare and cultural identity. For a developing nation this exotic destination also has a great infrastructure and some of the best roads and routes for cycling in all of Asia. Whether cruising tiny canals in bustling Bangkok, exploring ancient stone palaces, screaming along a trail atop a mountain bike or hiking narrow hilltribe footpaths your Thai experience is sure to leave you all smiles.
