03. Field Reports

Voices from
the Saddle.

Every volume is ride-tested by a small cohort of obsessive riders and food people. Here’s how it felt from the cockpit.

Ex‑trackday regular

The Loop is basically a nine‑day flow state. I expected great roads; I didn’t expect Michelin Bib Gourmand Khao Soi on the same day as perfect late‑apex sweepers.

Platform: Forza 350 · Riding: Solo

Chef · First Thailand ride

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.

Platform: Honda CB500X · Riding: Two‑up

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.

We don't just ride to ride. We ride to eat. This route is curated by Chef Thitid Tassanakajohn (Le Du, BKK) to highlight the vanishing recipes of the Lanna Kingdom.

The Jungle Curry

A private dining experience in a Karen hill tribe village. No electricity. Clay pot cooking. Ingredients foraged within 500 meters.

09. Debriefing Protocol (FAQ)

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.
