Explore Chiang-Dao caves, followed by lunch in local restaurant. Then we start our bike ride through rural back roads first, continuing on off-road trails, across a pristine landscape leading to small hilltribe villages. Finish cycling at Palaung village where we spend the night as guests of the village headman s family. Excellent Thai dinner served by your guide. However, the route is not too difficult and the escort vehicle is always nearby.
Lunch stop to visit Buddhist forestry temple and caves.
Afternoon cycling around 25 kilometers, mostly off road, until car transfer to Ban Thaton for overnight stay on banks of Maekok river, near Burmese border. Night and dinner at typical northern lodge. Early morning, after breakfast, we cycle through the Maekok river valley, past rice fields and plantations. Then we follow an exciting riverside trail. Next we ride a local longtail boat downriver.
