Thirteen different Asian motorcycle tours, a tough
choice. (Note: Not every motorcycle tour is offered every year.)
To help you with your motorcycle tour selection, here's a summary and comparison
of them all.
(You can read the entire itinerary of each tour by
clicking on the links).
The Thailand BEACHES
MOTORCYCLE TOUR has the least mileage of our 10-Day Tours that absolutely
no one will miss. This Thailand motorcycle tour is overloaded with sun and fun
and exquisite cuisine. Krabi, Lanta, Koh Samui are all outstanding destinations.
Khao Sok National Park where we spend two nights is one of Thailand's gifts
to the world. Phuket is reason enough alone to come visit Asia. And our day-visit
to Victoria Point, the southernmost point in Burma is always a favorite with
our participants.
The GOLDEN
TRIANGLE MOTORCYCLE TOUR encompasses the most breathtaking motorcycle touring
of any A.M.A trip. 90% of all our routes up here are biker's wet dreams. The
quantity, quality, and diversity of the roads will astound you. Wondrous temples,
mountaintop villages home to dozens of hill tribe groups, and fine handicrafts
and shopping will keep you constantly occupied. The weather is cooler than in
the south, the food is great, yet different from the other Thai regions, and
Chiang Mai makes for a terrific base.
If your main purpose in coming to Asia is to experience the GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF MOTORCYCLE RIDING in Asia, this is the tour for you. This is also our most popular motorcycle tour choice.
The
LAOS MOTORCYCLE TOUR is A.M.A's most fascinating trip. Only open to riders
with off-road experience, and you must be in decent physical condition as well
because this is not a cushy trip. Our off-road motorcycles transport us
into mankind's past, visiting people living a lifestyle millennia old. This
tour is the essence of adventure travel and my personal favorite. Stimulating
and exotic. Superlative trail riding and scenery for those who relish getting
off the beaten track.
Our 31-DAY
THAILAND-LAOS MOTORCYCLE TOUR EXPEDITION is the best of our Golden Triangle
Tour plus our Laos Tour plus,
plus, plus! This tour combines the tourist-friendly
amenities of northern Thailand together with high motorcycle adventure in northern
Laos, one of the least-visited regions in the world.
Other than ourselves, we know of no one else who even attempts to go where we
go, hugging the borders of Burma, Vietnam, and Yunnan, China. The terrain is
up here is both rugged and wild, and on the Laos segment we will experience
hard living and hard driving. Off-road motorcycle skills is a must for this
tour. Once you have completed this tour, you will have experienced nearly all
the highlights in this part of the world.
If you need any help rationalizing spending this amount of money on yourself for a motorcycle trip, think about it this way: If your wife can go out and blow thousand of dollars on a designer dress she'll wear maybe twice, plus thousands more on matching shoes and a handbag, don't you at least deserve to treat yourself to a one-month tour of a lifetime?
5-DAY MOTORCYCLE TOURS IN THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE were recently added to our schedule. Many wannabe participants tell us they simply are not able to spare the two weeks needed for our usual 10-day tours. These 5-day tours have the same great riding, sightseeing, culture and cuisine as do our longer tours but we only cover half the distance and visit half the itinerary stops.
Two, 5-day motorcycle tours are being offered. These
are the GOLDEN
TRIANGLE WEST MOTORCYCLE TOUR and the GOLDEN
TRIANGLE SOUTH MOTORCYCLE TOUR. If you can not make it to Asia for a two-week
stretch, you should consider one of these 5-day tours.
ANGKOR WAT MOTORCYCLE TOUR. The antiquities in Angkor make it is simply one of the most amazing places on earth and one of mankind's' most mesmerizing creations. If you choose this tour, you should have a lively interest in history, architecture, and art. And you should also know how to handle an off-road motorcycle because the ride into Cambodia is over one of the the worst (or best ---depending on which way you look at it) roads on any A.M.A. tour.
But even if you can not ride off-road, you still should not miss out on our Angkor Wat trip as we can put your motorcycle on the back of our support truck for the ride in from the Thailand border. Because once we are in Angkor and Siem Reap, by far the best way to visit the antiquities is by motorcycle.
If I live to be 100, I'll still never be able to take in all of Angkor Wat.
Ask anyone who has ever visited Angkor. It has to be seen to believed.
The TRANS-BORNEO
MOTORCYCLE EXPEDITION is just what it says it is--an expedition. Expect
the unexpected on this tour, as we battle the conditions each day trying tomake
it to our intended destination each night. The challenges are great, but so
is the reward of completing a journey and seeing a region and countryside that
few people will ever witness.
All is not hardship though, as the last third of this tour is quite posh. In Sarawak, Brunei, and Sabah we get to act like normal tourists after nearly 2 straight weeks of battling the jungles with our motorcycles.
The
PENINSULAR MALAYSIA
MOTORCYCLE TOUR offers the best road conditions and highest mileage on any
of our standard 10-day motorcycle tours. Three of the roads are absolutely superb
motorcycling segments. Malaysia is more developed than Thailand and the overall
comfort level is high. Taman Negara National Park is a special treat as is Pulau
Redang.
No roughing it on this trip. English is widely spoken in
Malaysia so social interaction with the locals is easy.
The magnificent 82-kilometer logging trail through primary jungle on the
BORNEO MOTORCYCLE TOUR is probably the most spectacular and enjoyable road
on any A.M.A tour, and we do it twice! Plus, it takes us for a two-night
stay at the award-winning Borneo Rain Forest Lodge. A whole new world,
or rather underworld, opens up to us at Mulu National Park with their incredible
cave system. Spending time with the Dyaks and the Rungus ethnic groups is a moving
social interchange. Every stop on this tour is guaranteed to make a lasting impression.
The elevated tour price is due to an extended tour length combined with multi-night
visits at two 5-star resorts and this tour also includes a domestic air flight.
BURMA
MOTORCYCLE TOUR. Burma is still largely untouched by tourists and is a most
interesting country in its own rights. Very little commercial development has
taken place inside Burma, and you will visit a country mired in the past as
the rest of the world barrels into the future. Their temples are among the finest
in Asia, and Bagan is one of the most important historical and archeological
sites in Asia. I personally love Burma and it is a special treat every time
I return for a visit to there.
Our COMBINATION TOURS mixes and matches the best features from two separate A.M.A tours. If the tour of your choice is fully booked, or your traveling schedule is fixed, you can't go wrong joining one of our combination tours. A lot of diversity is packed into these 11-day packages.
The THAILAND COMBINATION TOUR practically offers you the whole of Thailand on a silver platter. It runs from the north to the south of the country and has the biggest variety of sights and activities. In the south we will visit several of the great beach resorts. In the middle of the country you'll visit Ranong and Burma and absorb Thai culture and history in the ancient city of Sukhothai. Up north, the fantastic motorcycle roads that makes the golden Triangle so legendary with bikers, lie in wait, and we will also visit several of the hill tribe ethnic minorities.
The THAILAND--MALAYSIA COMBINATION TOUR will allow you to visit two Asian
nations in a single visit to this continent. These two neighboring countries
could not be more different from each other. We'll let you form your own comparisons
about them.
It
is now time for you to choose!
