Phuket
is rapidly becoming over-developed. However, just across the Sarasin
Bridge (the bridge to Phuket) is an enchanting rural area that offers
everything that any level of adventurer would want, including very
nice cultural interaction with the local villagers.
Our goal in designing
this mountain biking trip was to find a biking route that was mostly
flat in a hilly area. It's taken a lot of time to put this together,
but what we've got is a multi-day trip that courses through rubber
plantations, secondary growth, dirt roads, secondary roads and through
small friendly villages. There’s a lot of single track riding
on this route too.
Harder routes
are available for the more hardcore mountain bikers. The entire region
is rich with trails and secondary roads, so customized trips are easy
to arrange.
The ride starts
just past the Sarasin Bridge (the bridge to Phuket) and goes all the
way to Khao Lak.
It would be easy to do either one day or two days on this route.
This trip includes
all transfers from nearest local airport, bus station or train station
(airfare not included), all equipment, accommodations once on the
trip, all meals, all snacks, all non-alcoholic drinks, national park
fees and insurance.
