SpiceRoads takes the hard work out of cycle tours. There’s a service vehicle, meals are provided, a guide leads the pack and just about everything including accommodation and soft drinks is included in the price. It’s called credit card touring. You pay and spin the pedals. Someone else worries about the logistics, reads the maps curates the stays, entertainment and carries your luggage.

The ride warms up on the quiet countryside heading for the beach town of Hua Hin on the Gulf of Thailand. Highlights include stunning beaches and views of limestone outcrops in Sam Roi Yot, Thailand’s first coastal National Park.
