10-Day Motorcycle Tour | Thailand – Northern Thailand Loop from Chiang Mai

10 Days
Intermediate

Overview

Experience this 10-day, 7-riding-day loop through Northern Thailand. Starting and ending in Chiang Mai, this expertly crafted route takes you through the Doi Inthanon mountains, the Burmese borderlands, jungle single tracks, and the cultural gems of Mae Hong Son and Pai. With over 85% off-road riding, this is one of Asia’s most scenic and challenging enduro tours.

Riders enjoy full pro support, a fleet of fully modified Honda CRF300s, and premium gear. Trail conditions are diverse—expect red clay, rocky riverbeds, sand, jungle, and pine forests. Nights are spent in quality hotels and resorts (mostly 3–4 stars), while your gear and luggage follow in the support truck. Designed for intermediate to expert riders, but with route flexibility to accommodate different skill levels, this tour is the definition of all-inclusive adventure.

Day 1: Arrival in Chiang Mai

Day 2: Chiang Mai to Mae Chaem via Doi Inthanon


Leave the city on 35 km of twisty tarmac before switching to fast-flowing 4x4 tracks. Ride through tight forest trails and a 6 km semi-submerged riverbed of deep sand and rock. After lunch and a waterfall visit, ascend into Doi Inthanon National Park—Thailand’s highest mountain range—for spectacular panoramic riding. Overnight in Mae Chaem.


Day 3: Mae Chaem to Mae Sariang


Ride along remote ridgelines and river valleys that trace the Burmese border. Terrain includes red clay, loose sand, rock sections, and multiple stream crossings. Enjoy the solitude and breathtaking views of Northern Thailand’s backcountry.


Day 4: Mae Sariang to Khun Yuam


Enter Salaween National Park, home to wild Asiatic elephants and jungle predators. Tackle super steep goat trails and a maze of rivers before emerging onto 4x4 trails lined with quiet villages. Finish in the quaint town of Khun Yuam.


Day 5: Khun Yuam to Mae Hong Son


Continue north through dense jungle trails and countryside tracks. Cross streams and ride through forested hills toward the famous lakeside town of Mae Hong Son. Relax with a cold beer and lakeside dinner to celebrate another big day.


Day 6: Mae Hong Son to Pai


Begin with 25 km of mountain tarmac, then open up on wide red clay roads and loose gravel. After lunch, dive into technical jungle single tracks before rejoining tarmac for the final stretch into Pai. End the day with a steak dinner and live music in this lively hippy town.


Day 7: Rest Day in Pai


Unwind with a massage, visit the hot springs, or explore the Pai Canyon. Climb to the Big Buddha or browse the night market. Meals are on your own today while the crew services bikes and gear. Enjoy the chilled-out vibe of Pai at your own pace.
