The roads, the bikes, the roads, the adventure, the roads, the hospitality...and did I mention the roads? Jeff was a great host & tour leader, complimented by Nat...sweep, interpreter, local knowledge about the historic rocky crumbly things and all round good guy. Bikes were well suited to the task, in great condition with excellent tyres. Tour was really well organised with a good mix of accomodation - all comfortable, safe and clean and ready for us when we arrived (thanks Nat!). Definitely a riders ride with a good pace set on fantastic roads, but still time set aside to see some of the beautiful (and some obscure) parts of northern Thailand. I had my wife on board as a pillion and had no issues with anywhere we rode. I thoroughly recommend TBB Tours and have already decided to come back and do another ride with them. Thanks to all the TBB team, but particularly Pikey for his hospitality and Nat for his patience! less

Enjoyed the fast sweepers and tight switchbacks, some amazing mountain and rural scenery, best accommodation and learning to speak with the lovely people in the Land of Smiles. Hope to return someday. Give these guys your support - they offer a terrific service. less

Organised and supported by Jeff in the support truck . Led by the lead rider who set a perfect pace and and importantly Tick the local officially authorised tour rep who smooths out everything . She brought a real Thai charm to the whole thing with an efficiency and smile that you can't buy . Unbeknown to me at the time of signing up if the tour does not have an official lour guide , if things go pear shaped you can end up in real mess so beware whose tour you choose.Not all do !
Who would have thought a Suzuki 650 VStrom could be so good 2 up ! Did the job so well given the varied terrain travelled . Totally sorted and reliable. Makes me question the choice of my own bike at home quite frankly . Hotels just fine . Food and coffee stops well timed . Would I go back and do another one ? Yes I would and will . less

Thanks to Jeff, Duncan, Bo & Nat for providing a fantastic 10 day experience with top quality roads, bikes & accommodation, and getting to know a bunch of great like minded people along the way.

To anyone who loves to ride a motorbike on some of the best roads in Thailand and watch the Thailand Motogp, then don’t hesitate to contact TBB Tours, you won’t be disappointed. less

Hour after hour, day after day, the flowing corners just kept on coming. The roads were in great condition, which gave you the confidence to push through corners. Minimal traffic made the riding so much more enjoyable. My bike, a Honda CB500, was in very good condition and ideal for this type of ride (especially for the more vertically challenged of us). Beautiful scenery, especially the overnight stay in Mae Hong Son. I couldn't fault the accommodation and meals. The side excursions were interesting. A very big thanks to Jeff and the team for organising and executing such a great tour. Special thanks to Tick for all those extra little things she did for us on tour, often behind the scenes. Can't wait to return to this part of the world again. less

Jeff was great to work with, always responding quickly to emails and making the whole process fun and easy for us. The tour was just us on a VStrom with Marcus and Tik as our guides. It was my first trip to Thailand, and touring on a motorcycle with TBB Tours helped to make it a truly amazing experience. The VStrom was a great choice for 2-up, and performed perfectly the entire time. With Marcus and Tik, it felt like we were on a trip with friends, not just guides. Marcus is a very experienced rider, and he adjusted the pace to what was comfortable for me. If you like nearly endless curves and elevation changes, these roads are for you. They rivaled anything I’ve ridden in the US, Swiss Alps, or Spain. Tik seems to know all the small restaurants with great food, and all the interesting coffee shops, places we probably would not have found on our own. The hotels we stayed in were first class. Of course, words cannot describe the temples, markets, small villages, and the people of Thailand. Marcus and Tik had great flexibility, changing the schedule when my wife was a little under the weather, and when I needed to get an unscheduled tetanus shot. I can’t think of a better 6 days I’ve spent on a motorcycle. less

I would say this trip wasn't for beginners, but they do cater for the level of experience, it was a nine day tour around the mae hon son loop.and one I'll never forget, hard riding up almost none existent tracks, clay, mud, riding along shallow small rivers, crossing bigger rivers, single tracks through jungle, steep descents it had it all. Can't thank Duncan the tour leader enough for such an experience. … less

Was great to have someone who new the route and where/when to stop and when to be a bit careful on some of the turns. Let you enjoy the ride and not have to worry about things.

They were extremely helpful on top of being great guides and hosts. Second are the bikes. Really good bikes in really good running condition. The bikes are perfect for the roads we traveled on. My dad and I had so much fun riding those Suzukis. Last but certainly not least, the journey was stellar. The sights are beautiful, with some being quite breath taking. Had to constantly remind myself to pay more attention to the road and less on the view. We also had the opportunity to visit many really awesome places. In summary, will abso-friggin-lutely be back some day to repeat this adventure...but next time around it will be with more riding buddies. … less

The route included some of the most spectacular roads in Northern Thailand with 5 star accommodation each night. I really enjoyed the roads and the pace set by the tour guides was perfect for the group. Our native Thai tour guide rode in the support truck and handled all the paperwork at hotel check in and translated at meal times. The rental fleet of bikes were clean and all seemed well maintained. I highly recommend TBB tours and hope to share another adventure with them soon. less

I am looking forward to the next one!

TBB team and bikes are great. Jeff and Nat took good care of us, and I understand from the other drivers that Duncan and Tik did the same on their leg of the tour.

Other reviews tell you how amazing the roads and sites are and how well Jeff and his team know them. It’s all true. If you haven’t been before, you have to come, and I can understand why serious drivers keep coming back.

Duncan and Jeff have picked very well from the three star accommodations available, getting great value for money. Some of the meals were quite good; some were not. The team is flexible - don’t be afraid to hunt around on TA and find restaurants you want to try in the cities you visit. Also, if the group wants to take more photo stops or less, the guides are up for it. Just let them know what you want to do.

I am not an experienced rider in the mountains; I live in the flat part of Thailand. And I brought my own bike, which is much larger than the Vstrom 650s the rest of the group rode. Most of the drive was challenging in a good way. But there were two segments of the tour where there were narrow hairpins with two or three meters elevation gain. It was really hairy. I opted out of the second stretch of this type and took other roads to our destination.

Finally, the North is cold at night in December/January. We were all wishing we had brought long johns. Don’t forget yours!

If you live to ride, you have to ride the North of Thailand. less

Being from Southern California he took me through terrain and sites I would never have seen back home. Stopping at temples in the middle of nowhere and seeing views of pristine forest and jungle were awe inspiring. He adjusted for my experience level as I had not ridden offroad in nearly 10 years. Accommodations were top notch especially staying in Mae Hong Son over New Years. Watching how they celebrate and getting in on the lantern festival was great. Anyone that is thinking of seeing Thailand outside the cities has to consider this. It is the best way to experience Thailand. less

In 10 days we covered over 2600km on some of the most amazing roads I have ridden. The scenery was breathtaking and the attractions were equally amazing. How can one adequately describe the magnificence of the White Temple or the serene beauty of the Long Necks of Lang Kho. Every day there is something new and exciting to see or visit. The 650 Suzuki VStroms were a perfect choice for touring, blending comfort with ample power for the types of road travelled. Our hosts and tour leaders, Jeff and Aw, and Marcus and Tik were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating and we left Thailand knowing that we had made new friends with whom we had shared a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable adventure. Can't wait to get back and see some more of Thailand's amazing back country, towns and villages and rich culture. less

Our group consisted of 6 bikes, with bikers from USA, S.A. and NZ. All having a great time. There were 2 sets of guides, Tik and Marcus for 4 days Jeff, Awe and Nat for the rest, who were able to show us local sites and best places to eat. All the hotels were good The Suzuki 650 Vstrom was a great bike to ride. It was a brilliant road trip. Get it booked! less
