Bristol, VT (PRWEB) July 1, 2008 -

Bicyclists can savor Southeast Asias natural beauty on a new bike tour by means of Northern Thailand. VBT Bicycling Vacations, the award-winning international bicycle tour operator, announced nowadays its newest biking trip, Exploring Northern Thailand, a special and exciting 13-day itinerary that debuts in November, 2008.

This is 1 of our most exotic itineraries, stated Gregg Marston, VBT president. And when you investigate the rural side of Thailand by bicycle, as this itinerary does, you genuinely learn why this is called the ‘Land of Smiles.’ Folks are as interested in you as you are in them. So the conversations, even the ones with straightforward hand gestures, come more easily. It really is the most intimate way to explore Thailands natural and cultural wonders, and to get to know the nation and its folks.

The trip begins in Chiang Saen, in the northern reaches of the Golden Triangle region. A stop at the Hall of Opium provides insight into the notorious Southeast Asian trade that when pervaded the region. In Phrao, travelers cycle to an early-morning alms-giving ceremony with Buddhist monks, browse authentic market stalls, and find out to prepare conventional Thai cuisine. Then its on to Doi Angkhang, and a ride to meet the Muser and Palong hill tribes. In Sri Lanna National Park, riders trade their bicycles for boats to paddle to a floating property for lunch. From Chiang Mai, the cultural and spiritual center of Thailand, cycle routes lead travelers to the San Khamphaeng Hot Springs and to Ban Tawai, a nearby artisans’ village.

Accommodations reflect the essence and generosity of Thai culture, like an exclusive 2-evening keep at the Angkhang Nature Resort, recent winner of a Ideal Eco Resort award. Guests also keep at an authentic Thai nation inn in rural Phrao as effectively as centrally situated hotels in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai..

Charges for the seven-day itinerary begin at $ three,495, including twelve nights of lodging, use of a VBT bike, and full van support.
