DESTINATION OVERVIEW

WHY RIDE
HERE?

Northern Thailand

Main base: Chiang Mai

Mae Hong Son · Golden Triangle · Phu Chi Fa / Doi Pha Tang · Nan · Chiang Rai · Mae Salong

Southern Thailand

Main base: Phuket

Phuket · Phang Nga · Krabi · Ranong · Surat Thani · Andaman and Gulf routes

Thailand is where ROAMERS began building Fly & Ride knowledge, and it remains the deepest destination in this launch. Chiang Mai gives riders direct access to the Mae Hong Son Loop, Chiang Rai, Mae Salong, Nan and the mountain roads of the far north. Phuket opens a different kind of trip: Phang Nga limestone country, Krabi, Ranong and longer Andaman or Gulf routes. Rental choice is broad, services are easy to find in the main bases and a capable rider can organise a practical independent trip without turning it into an expedition.

Small road bikes and scooters suit local or coastal days; mid-weight adventure and touring motorcycles make more sense for longer loops and luggage. Guided, supported and skills-based options are also available, especially for riders who want local route knowledge or are moving into mixed surfaces. Five to seven days works for one region, while ten to fourteen days allows a more settled loop. Existing ROAMERS-ridden northern routes retain their firsthand status; third-party rentals, stays and operators remain separately labelled WEB CHECKED.
