Day 1 Khon Kaen – Chaiyaphum (117 km, 267 hm)
We head south from Khon Kaen and follow the Chin River, one of the region’s most important waterways. We spend the night in the small town of Phon.
Day 2 Chaiyaphum – Nakhon Ratchasima (116 km, 239 hm)
We ride through rural areas to Nakhon Ratchasima, or ‘Korat’ as the locals call it. This is the gateway to Isaan and the largest city in the region.
Day 3 Nakhon Ratchasima – Pak Chong (105 km, 695 hm)
We now leave Isaan and swap the rice-covered plains of Korat for the fruit and vegetable orchards of Pak Chong. This is a beautiful area and a popular weekend destination for Bangkokers.
Day 4 Pak Chong – Prachinburi (89 km, 840 hm)
Today’s ride takes us through Khao Yai National Park! Once at the top, the descent is well worth the effort. There is only one road through the national park, and for many road cyclists in Thailand, it is a rite of passage to conquer the challenging climb. Watch out for elephants on the road!
Day 5 Prachinburi (rest day)
A well-deserved rest day after our climb the day before. Our resort is located on the edge of the Khao Yai jungle and is the perfect place to relax. Excursions to waterfalls can be arranged.
Day 6 Prachinburi – Chachoengsao (100 km, 112 hm)
We are now in central Thailand and ride through the vast plains full of rice fields. We also ride along the Bang Pakong River, which is known for its small population of Irrawaddy dolphins (it is very rare to see them!). We spend the night in the provincial capital of Chachoengsao.
