ACTIVE THAILAND

BACK-COUNTRY BIKING
Back-country central Thailand is just made for smart bikers. The traffic is light, and the rural scenery of rice paddies, peaceful village and canals is delightful. And if you really want to stretch your muscles, just put your mountain-bike on the back trails of any of the several magnificent national parks in the region and let go. What an amazing way to experience some wonderful country!
An excellent place to start is Nakorn Nayok. Tucked away in what’s been called Bangkok’s back yard, this scenic province is situated in foothills of Khao Yai. It already has several designated back-road and off-road biking trails through gently rolling countryside, but of course you can easily make your own. Khao Yai itself with its 13 marked trails is another fantastic bike site, but then so is Khao Sam Roi Yot in Prachuab Khiri Khan province, Khao Kichakut in , Chlerm Rattanakosin and Saiyoke in Kanchanaburi and Kaeng Krachan in Petchaburi province. All these national parks have extensive trails so classic
