8 days / 7 nights tour - 750 kilometres
Days 1-2 (Jomtien Beach and
local ride)
Your fellow
travellers will be arriving at all times from around the world
today, so there are no arranged activities for the daytime.
Our taxi driver will pick you up at Bangkok Airport and take
you to our base hotel on Jomtien Beach. We will hold a meeting
in the evening when everyone arrives. You will get a note at
reception explaining this. Accommodation with breakfast on
Jomtien Beach (base hotel). In the morning of the DAY 2
motorcycles will be delivered. You can relax at the pool or on
the beach opposite the hotel to get rid of jet-lag in the
morning. Alternatively should you consider that you are not
experienced enough, have not ridden for some time or just wish
to ride with a group you can join our short morning
ride/training. We shall ride to Thai Buddhist temples, lake Yang
and Big Buddha mountain. On the way back we shall pass Bang Sare
fishing village and the beach where we shall stop for a drink.
In the afternoon you can do some shopping particularly items you
might need during the tour. We shall have a dinner together this
evening. Accommodation with breakfast in Jomtien.
Days 3-4 (Ko Samet and ride to
Ko Chang)
On the DAY 3 we shall have an early
start. The reason is that we have to be on time for our boat
departure to Ko Samet. We shall ride South East on a four lane
highway to a fishermen's' village Ban Phe. It is going to take
us about an hour from the pier to the island. We shall leave our
motorcycles on the mainland as there is hardly anything you
could call "a road" on Ko Samet. The island is ideal for
swimming, snorkeling and fishing. We shall be back on the
mainland by sunset. Accommodation with breakfast in Ban Phe. DAY
4 - We shall follow the coastline to Chantaburi where you can
visit the "Gem Street", where the gem stones are traded
(sapphires and Siam rubies from this region are world known).
Khao Sa Bap national park and Piew waterfall are only 30
kilometers south. Tropical rainforest is stretching from this
park into Cambodian mountains. There we shall arrive to the
ferry port. Koh Chang, the Thailand's second biggest island has
white sand beaches, mangroves and beautiful rainforest with
spectacular waterfalls. This island has been discovered by
tourists only recently and is a heaven for nature lovers. The
whole island is a national park. Dense vegetation covers the
mountainous interior, with some of the hills reaching a height
of 800 meters. The roads are good and choice of secluded beaches
is unlimited. 70 kilometres of roads will give you a chance to
explore every part of this pearl. Accommodation with breakfast
on Ko Chang.
Days 5-6 (Ko Chang island and
Oasis dolphin training centre )
On the DAY 5 you can choose to either
spend a day on the beach, explore rainforest with waterfalls or
encircle the island on motorcycle. Eating on Ko Chang means a
feast at very reasonably priced restaurants, located almost on
the beach. During high tide, the waves lap around your feet
while your attention is torn away from the evening meal, and
your eyes are focused on a star-studded sky. Accommodation with
breakfast on Ko Chang. DAY 6 We are on the road again. First a
ride to ferry. After a short crossing about half an hour to The
Oasis Sea World at Laem Sing which is a breeding and
conservation centre for dolphins, particularly rare bottlenose
Irrawaddy dolphin. See these intelligent mammals play, enjoy the
show or swim with them after. We shall continue our ride along
the coast stopping at couple of nice spots for refreshments and
a swim. Accommodation with breakfast in Jomtien.g.
Days 7-8 (Jomtien Beach, local
ride and departure)
DAY 7 Today is your day off. You can
relax at the pool or on the beach opposite the hotel or do some
shopping and local sightseeing. But if you are still in mood for
a ride you can join me and we shall go exploring nearby bays and
Sattahip peninsula. We shall ride visit Sattahip Royal Thai Navy
base, morning food market and couple of bays with sand beaches.
As this will be a morning ride you will still have the afternoon
for yourself. We shall have a farewell dinner together this
evening. Accommodation with breakfast in Jomtien. On DAY 8 your
motorcycle touring holiday ends. You will receive a DVD with
photos and video clips of your escapades during the tour before
our taxi picks you up. The time will be arranged depending on
your flight departure. The ride from the hotel at Jomtien Beach
to the airport takes about one hour. We recommend to book an
evening/night flight, giving you an extra day at the end of your
holiday.
