Title: Thailand Ancient Kingdoms - Feb. 2010
Guest: Kevin K, Feb 2010
Review: This was my first multi-day bike tour and I thoroughly enjoyed every single day. The routes had lots of beautiful scenery and points of interest. I discovered that Thailand is extremely bike friendly, and the Pedalers tour guides did a fantastic job of explaining the history and significance of the Thai culture, religion, business activity and lifestyle as we rode along. The routes were well designed and the on the road support was fabulous. It's definitely worth the effort to make the journey to Thailand to ride, and there is no one better to guide you than Pedalers Pub and Grille. Thanks for a great experience and many life long memories!
Highlights: Historical sites, elephant camp, hill tribe village, cave temple, road side stands, and food!

Title: Ancient Kingdoms Ride November 2009
Guest: Mary Jane B, Nov 2009
Review: In all respects, this was a fabulous tour....The route was excellent, with visits to significant historic sites as well as roads that gave us the chance to see the beauty of rural Thailand....The guides were tops, and we appreciated having an English speaking native guide who could answer questions about the culture and customs of the country--and order fabulous meals for us ...Side visits to markets, hill tribe villages, elephant camp, etc. were thoughtfully chosen and added to our insider's view of the Thai heritage....We used the rental bikes, and found them to be excellent--definitely not worth the hassle of bringing our own bikes on this trip.
Highlights: Seeing Thailand through the eyes of Yai and Tom....the colorful markets, vibrant villages, interesting ruins, day-to-day scenes of rural life.

Title: Ancient Kingdoms on a Bike Friday
Guest: Richard G, Nov 2007
Review: This was a really fun trip comprised of all Bike Friday riders. Tom, the leader did an excellent job of showing us and educating us about Thailand. Also, based upon numerous adventure travel trips I have been on I can see that he is the best for having a well organized, and safe trip. The safety issues that he did really make a differnce. We all got loaner cell phones that were pre-prgrammed with the leaders and everyone elses numbers. In the event of getting lost or having a problem, all we had to do was use the phone. I cant tell you how often I wish I had this on a couple of ther trips I've been on. Plus Tom's emhasis on good lodging and good food made for very pleasant evenings.
Highlights: The authentic, entirely non-tourist roadside cafes where we had our custom ordered wokked up lunches. Really got to interact with the local Thai people.
