Big bikes in Thailand - Kay and Noah have put together a great experience along with our Thai guide Kaeb and support team - Tony and Lrut. I was riding Noah’s personal bike which was dialed in and a ton of fun. It was my first ride on big bikes in Thailand and I absolutely loved it! The food was excellent along the way and to my surprise we met up with other tours in other cities getting to meet new people from all over the world. Would definitely recommend the tour to anyone that would like the experience of riding big bikes around SE Asia and beyond!

a Perfect Piece of peace here - A poplar destination for out- of -town young folk is PHAM KAFAE, PUA hosted by the zany duo Khamee(Jo Ann) and Patcha. Drop in to sample various types of local coffee Baan Maneepruek, try imported salted caramel or try a variety of imported English teas. Cool drinks are plentiful. There is an eclectic collection of ancient objets d'art located inside and outside in the spacious grounds. Relax there and meet up with friends or simply admire the stunning scenery and panorama of the valley below. Pua is nestled among lush green rice fields and encircled by distant, misty mountains. Try it, you won't be disapponted and will want to return!

Spectacular ride!! - My wife and I did the 3 day Nan loop with Big Bike tours in Jan 2023. What a fantastic experience, I can not recommend them highly enough. I have done several tours around Asia and this one just does not compare. From the excellent roads, to nice hotels, great new and well maintained bikes, and delicious lunches and dinners it was just an awesome experience. Can not wait to come back and do a longer tour...my only regret was that we only had three days. Our guide Pong and one of the owners Kay took great care of us. We didn't know any of the other riders on the tour when we started and just after three days we had made many great friends. We'll be back.

Amazing Ride - Absolutely recommend using Big Bike Tours for your motorcycle expeditions in Thailand. Great routes , great bikes and most importantly great people. A lot of attention is paid to the details and they make you feel comfortable every step of the way. Will ride again with them.

Simply the best - We have toured with Big Bike Tours several times now over the years and find them to be super professional, accommodating and know all the best hotels and routes. Having enquired with other tour companies and not been impressed we are so glad we found BBT and will be back to discover more of Thailand with them.

Can’t Wait Until My Next Ride! - I booked a 3-Day Motorcycle Adventure Ride on-line with Big Bike Tours in late 2018 for May 4-6th (2019) as part of my Vacation to Thailand for 15 Days during May 2019. However, I wasn’t sure what to expect? Upon my initial arrival in Chiang Mai from the United States 2 days prior to the start of my ride, I was greeted at the Chiang Mai Airport by Bike Bike Tours. The staff was extremely polite and professional and transported me to the Hotel Amora in the City of Chiang Mai (the Hotel provided excellent service and is very modern not to mention centrally located in the city). Upon arrival at the Hotel, BBT took me over to where they store their motorcycles and showed me the BMW GS 800 that I had paid extra to reserve. Subsequently, BBT had me complete the remaining paperwork, discussed any concerns I may have had, suited me for riding gear and made sure I was checked into the hotel. So far, so good. From the day my adventure began on 5/4 for the next 3 days, it was truly amazing. My guide Chao was great! BBT and Chao handled everything and all I needed to focus on was enjoying the awesome ride and scenery not to mention the BMW GS 800. In short, I am planning my 2nd trip with BBT for January 2020 as a result of my incredible adventure with Chao and BBT.

Great holiday - 5 day golden triangle tour. Very good. Met nice members of the motorcycle riding community. Good company. Guides were knowledgeable with good English skills. Scenery and roads were unbelievable. Mechanic on tour was very good, servicing and reading ECU even between days. Bikes and tyres were good. All in all a great holiday. Marked down slightly due to seat comfort of BMW GS800. Would have taken my air hawk in hind sight.
