THAILAND

– the “land of smiles” deserves its name for a reason! There is hardly a country where the locals are as friendly and helpful as here. Especially Bikers experience this unique friendliness of the locals on their overland motorcycle tour through the country.

Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia that, unlike its neighbors, has never been colonized by the Western powers. That’s why the name “Thailand” was given to the country, which translates as much as “land of the free”. We can totally confirm that without a doubt, because every motorcycle rider can feel it here – absolutely freedom on two wheels.

Tour Overview

Guided Overland Motorcycle Tours through Thailand

Thailand is a country full of diversity and opportunities. The fine sandy beaches of the tropical south are the paragon of perfect classic beach holidays and the mountain areas of the north, which are difficult to access, are home to some of the region’s most impressive rain forests and traditional Thai life. All of this makes Thailand the perfect destination for Bikers who want to combine a motorbike tour with a dream vacation. Our Thailand overland motorbike tour promises the unique opportunity of inspiring impression of the uniqueness of Thailand and to experience all the highlights of the north.

On our Thailand overland motorbike tour, emerald-green rice fields, jungle-covered hills and mountains covered in fog will await you. Especially the the wild mountains of the far north offers fantastic roads, such as the Mae hon Son Loop or the famous Route 1148 with their uniquely relaxed winding roads in breathtaking natural surroundings.

The fantastic views of the highest mountains in Thailand and the exotic places with Buddhist culture, remote villages like those of the Karen minority (long-necked women) on the Golden Triangle Motorcycle Tour will never let you forget. Thailand is full of history and events – whether the historic temple ruins at Sukhothai, the former Japanese bases in Khun Yuam or the army barracks at Thoed Thai – on our Thailand Lanna Kingdom Motorbike Tour we discover all the highlights of the north.

Thailand is the perfect country for inspiration and serenity in dialogue. An overland motorcycle tour in Thailand inspires you – you will not only experience a journey through the country, as well as a journey to yourself. In the alternative small town of Pai, it is particularly easy to relax – on the colorful night market or in the numerous cafes and Restaurants. The surrounding area invites you to a discovery tour on the raft through the waterfalls and gorges of Pai.

An incredible experience is waiting for you!

Everest or bust 2018 We just completed a tour to Everest base camp from Lhasa with Hendrik and his crew. From start to finish was a trip of a lifetime. Everything was organised extremely well from the different types of foods to the monastery tours and of course the riding through breathtaking scenery and long winding roads each day. The backup crew and mechanics were brilliant and a special shout out to Jimmy the tour guide who’s knowledge of everything and helpfulness made the trip. “JIMMY, we love you man”😂😂We also met so lovely people touring with us that will be friends for life.

Excellent guides and knowledge This tour was excellent right from the word go. The knowledge the guides had on all the areas we visited was very well informed and they didn’t hesitate to stop and explain any part if you had a question. The sights are incredible and I have already recommended the Lhasa to base camp tour to people. Thanks Hendrik, tashi, jimmy and all the rest of the crew that made this awesome time possible.

Tibet Tour - Lhasa - Mount Everest - Lake Nam Tso - Lhasa amazing motorcycle tour for any skill level. all important sights were visited, amazing mountain passes, views, great food and cultural experience. With Tibetmoto everything is perfectly organised, all bikes are daily serviced, their is a mechanic and a jeep with the luggage following, so you do not need to worry about a heavy load on your motorcycle. the detailed information prior and during the trip are excellent and allow you to prepare your trip and gear correctly. Tibet and the tibetan culture is a most see on your "bucket list". riding on a motorcycle and experiencing Tibet so close up and real is "the icing". book early as there are limited motorcycles. Best riding time late spring or early autumn go for a life time ride with Tibetmoto

2100 km durch Tibet Trans Tibet Motorrad Reise von Lhasa zum Everest Base Camp. Alles hat hervorragend geklappt und war gut organisiert. Das Wetter hat auch gepaßt, wir waren eine super Truppe. Die Tour führte uns durch wunderschöne Landschaften mit verdammt hohen Pässen, Hochebenen, verschneiten Gipfeln, türkisblauen Seen, Yak-Herden, Tempeln....und, und, und. Niemand hatte Probleme mit der Höhe, die 3 geplanten Akklimatisierungstage in Lhasa waren wichtig und ausreichend. Eine unvergessliche Reise! Danke Hendrik...:-)

Trans Tibet Motorbike Tour - Tibet with Everest Base Camp - Perfect Way to experience Tibet! I have had the pleasure to ride with the Tibetmoto team in Sep 2018 during their Trans Tibet Tour and I would recommend fully hearted to join any of their upcoming trips. A choice of Bikes in very good condition, beautiful roads, impressive landscapes, a knowledgable and helpful local guide, authentic accomodations and lunch/dining options and a very likeable, skillfull and supportive Tibetmoto Team (Hendrik, Tashi and the support crew). I trusted them right from the start and they accomodated any questions, concerns or proposals. If you look for a reliable tour operator with relevant local knowledge and the understanding for international guests - don’t look any further. I’ll definitely book another tour with them - just this says everything.

Torugart pass to Shanghai On a bright Sunday morning in April 2017, my 1983 Land Rover “Edna” and I started on a trip that would take us from the Netherlands to China, crossing over 5,300 meters high mountain passes. End July 2017 we arrived at the Torugart pass, the border between Kyrgyzstan and China. From here we drove over 9000 Km to Shanghai, thereby travelling through XinJiang province and along the Himalayas through Tibet. The China part of the ‘expedition’ was arranged with strong support from Tibetmoto, which is run by Hendrik Heyne and his team. In short, thanks to Tibetmoto, particularly when it came to handling red-tape in China, this trip has become an unforgettable lifetime experience. Travel through China using your own vehicle without a guide is not possible. (Apparently being accompanied by a guide was already compulsory during the time of the old Silk routes!) This holds particularly true for the more ‘sensitive provinces’. Having said that, the guides that we were provided with (Thubten and Tashe) are probably the best one can get for such a journey: Very knowledgeable, supportive and in plain English just great fun to have on board. On a trip such as this, things are bound to not always go exactly as planned (…). However, also when it came to difficult questions e.g. with regard to the arrangement of visa’s and permits, Tibetmoto proved to be an indispensable partner. I would highly recommend their organization to anyone planning an overland trip to China. Ard Van Gerdijk

Questions & Answers

Will every tour take place exactly as described in the tour itinerary?2021-01-08T23:13:47+01:00

All our itineraries give you a good overview what you will experience and discover when booking with tibetmoto. The itineraries are nevertheless best understood if they are seen as a suggestion rather than as a 100% planned and a thousand times done way of traveling. We like to keep every tour, every adventure, every trip unique and special. We are proud to say that we have never done a trip two times exactly the same way. Our team does not like to offer mainstream tourism tours, and we believe that people enjoy their time best when they have freedom and possibilities to choose from. Freedom and flexibility are very good ingredients to cook an exceptional discovery or adventure, to meet unusual people and visit off-the-beaten-track places.

How do I pay in Thailand?2021-01-08T23:13:37+01:00

American Express, Visa and Master Card are widely used in Thailand. Cash is only accepted in baht (Thai currency). However, it is relatively easy to change euros or US dollars at a exchange point in the larger tourist areas in Thai Baht.
