A transfer by van from Bangkok to Samut Songkhram provides you with an easy warm-up through tropical fruit orchards and coconut plantations situated within a network of canals. Visit the famous Floating Market of Damnoen Saduak where merchants sell their wares from boats piled high with fresh fruit from the orchards or traditional dishes. Explore the old, culturally-rich city of Phetchaburi and ride through the rice paddies. From here, you can reach Hua Hin, a well-known beach town, where you can enjoy the sea or explore the produce of its evening markets. From hua Hin, the back roads lead you through pineapple plantations, shrimp farms, and palm-fringed beaches to Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park where its stunning mountain view has a surprisingly soothing effect. Explore the tranquil beach of Ban Krut and see the monkeys at work in the country's biggest coconut plantation in Bang Saphan. On the way south to Chumphon, it is easy to ride alongside the sandy beach, pedal in the warm sea breeze, and every now and then, stop and refresh yourself in the waves. Just relax and visit friendly fishing villages, temples, schools, and plantations. Then, it's uphill on the challenging road to Lang Suan. This is the kingdom of the fruit orchards where farmers cultivate their crops in jungle-like conditions. You can sample a great variety of tropical fruit and relax in the purity of the natural surroundings. This is your easy introduction before entering the real wilderness areas of the tropical rainforest on the limestone mountain of Khao Sok National Park in Surat Thani. Stay overnight on a cozy raft floating in a remote corner of a huge reservoir. If you're lucky, you may come across some rare wildlife, such as gibbons and hornbills, during a two hour trek. Continue the journey to Krabi by riding through scenic rubber plantations and stunning limestone mountain ranges to enjoy an impressive dinner with a view of the sunset at Phang-nga Bay. The long journey is completed by exploring by kayaks the vast mangrove forest and lagoon in Tha Lane and enjoying the white sandy beaches and turquoise-colored seas of Krabi.
