Avalon motorcycle tours |
| |
|
We are not one of those operators that are here today and
gone tomorrow. Our first Grand tour “took off" in 1999. Since then we have
constantly improved the quality and added new tours. Now our
tour program includes five itineraries. suitable for the
clients who prefer shorter motorcycle touring holidays. |
- Our three 14-day guided tours of Thailand take you
to three distinct areas of this country, each with its
individual charm and interest. We have also added a
shorter tour along the Eastern Seaboard's coastline,
tropical rainforests and Angkor Wat
- Our clients say that touring with us is like
travelling with a group of friends. And this is the way
we would like to keep it. We stick to the motto "quality
not quantity". Most clients prefer worry free ride by
following the leader. That is why a group of up to seven
motorcycles - ten people works out perfectly. It is easy
to keep a visual control, the whole group can eat
together at one big table and conversations can be held
without anyone being left out. All our customers said
that tours exceeded all their expectations and the
quality can be vouched by taking references by anyone of
them.
- We even had
owners of other
motorcycle touring
companies on our tours; and some came twice.

Why clients tour with us |
| |
- Most organised motorcycle tours in Thailand encompass only a
100 to 200 km radius area around major tourist centres like
Chiang Mai or Phuket. As you can see from our maps, we
ride through "real Thailand", away from tourist hoards,
through areas usually not seen by many. Although the total
of kilometres might seem high, we keep daily distances
easily manageable because of good secondary roads we use.
- Knowing that
everyone needs some comfort after a day in the saddle we
use quality
hotel accommodation with American breakfast, even in
places not frequented by foreign tourists. Beside swimming pool
hotels offer 24
hours room service, laundry, massage etc.
- Having a good knowledge about the places we eat and
drink well. We do not want to keep you on stir fried
rice throughout your holiday, so lunch and dinner are
not included - this way you have a freedom to enjoy a
variety of inexpensive Thai or foreign dishes of
your choice.
- Since our tours start near Bangkok airport there are no
connecting flights involved, thus cutting down
expenses and risk of missing the tour because of
flight delays.
- Our light and responsive motorcycles don't freak out
older or less experienced riders particularly in
situations where due to road construction or weather
conditions we have to ride on dirt road, on mud or
across flooded lands. Cheap petrol and low fuel consumption are also a
bonus. In two weeks (3000 km) we only spend around GBP 50 on petrol.
And finally - our motorcycling holidays
are tours not the TT races.

Riders safety |
| |
|
Our tour leader will never endanger safety of other group
members and will adjust touring speed according to road
conditions and riders' capabilities thus ensuring a stress
free ride. Choice of riding speed is very important when
touring in third world countries. Although there is not much
normal traffic on the roads, we very often come across the
elements not familiar to us from Europe. Life in rural areas
runs at a slow pace. There are hardly any cars on the roads
and people who are not used to fast traffic will often
decide to cross when we are only meters away. Scooter
riders, cyclists, tractors, rotor cultivators etc. never
stop when coming from side road. Animals like cows, dogs and
pigs running free are also a hazard. We are proud of our
track record - twelve years of touring, hundreds of clients
and only one broken arm and leg. |

The country
|
|
|
It is easy to fall in love with SE Asia once you
have met her people; experienced the colour and
excitement, the heat and vitality, the sounds
and smells of a region that is second to none.
The overriding impression is one of
timelessness, of traditions unchanged through
centuries, of a harmonious place. Old sits
serenely by new, simple enhances elaborate, and
an innate gracefulness touches all facets of
life. The former Siam is the present ‘land of
smiles’, where the locals are charming and
visitors are charmed… again and again...If you
love riding motorcycle, join our tour and you
will not just see South East Asia, you will live
it!.
