What is included?

Airport transfer

Pre-tour arrival, we will arrange for you to be picked up from the airport and transferred to the hotel free of charge. The flight from Chiang Mai to Phuket is included in the tour price/ package.

First night’s hotel

Your first night’s hotel before the tour starts is covered in the tour price. If you want us to arrange hotels for you after the tour finishes it’s not a problem..

Motorcycle

A suitable, well maintained motorcycle & all fuel is included in your tour package. We tend to use Honda CB 500 F's & Honda CB 500 X's. We can arrange 650cc motorcycles for a small premium. If there is a mechanical issue, we will do everything possible to put things right. For twisty roads, the new Honda CB 500 F is a fantastic cornering motorcycle

Food & drink

All meals and soft drinks are covered throughout the whole tour. Alcoholic beverages and snacks are not covered.

Driving license

A valid, international motorcycle license is required and must be brought with you (not just a copy).

Motorcycle insurance

Third party motorcycle insurance is provided where ever possible. Travel & accident insurance is not provided, we advise you to arrange this in your own country before you leave. There have recently been some claim issues in Asia with customers using World Nomads travel insurance. We would highly advise you check what insurance you are actually buying to make sure its not just a repatriation flight if you have a "non-life threatening/ non-emergency situation".

Preventative medication

We have lived here in Asia for a long time & we do NOT take any preventative medication for malaria or hepatitis (nor does anyone we know!). Its a personal choice and up to you, we will not be held responsible for any medical issues that you incur associated with our motorcycle tours.

Riding gear

We’ve found it best that everyone brings their own riding gear (helmet, pants, boots, jacket, gloves and knee protectors). Asia except at high altitude tends to be warm during the day, vented riding gear works very well here.
