I was nervous about the curves and the rain. The briefing culture, pace management, and support truck meant I could focus on riding and tasting everything. I left a better rider.
The moment that sold it for me was cresting a wet ridgeline, fog hanging over the tea plantations, hearing the Sherpa engine echo off the jungle. This is why we ride.

As featured in
Yes. Thailand strictly enforces the 1949 Geneva Convention format IDP. Your permit MUST have the 'A' stamp (Motorcycle). 1968 formats are technically invalid here. We check this on Day 1.
"Spirited but safe." We are not a race school, but we are not a parade. You should be comfortable cornering at 60-80km/h and handling tight hairpins.
The Honda CB500X and Forza 350 are excellent for pillions. The Himalayan is capable but tighter. We recommend upgrading to the Honda if you are riding 2-up.
