A superb 3-day riding experience!
Reliable bikes (we went for the BMW F800), a great itinerary, decent hotels and a responsive headquarters (we went for the non-guided tour) made for a truly memorable 3 days with as highlight the magnificent route 1148! Note: road are, generally, in great condition (not only when compared to the roads in the UK) with some exceptions (the first hour from Phayao to Chiang Mai was horrendous with construction everywhere)!
Response from the operator: Thank you, Jürgen! We're thrilled you enjoyed the experience and the magnificent Route 1148. We appreciate your feedback about the construction—valuable insights for future riders. Hope to see you on another adventure soon!

Another fantastic tour. Once again a great journey through Northern Thailand with great company and bikes. Motels did not disappoint. Friendly guys that know all the great spots. The original Big Bike Tours and the best. Thanks for another great ride.
Response from the operator: We're glad you had such a great time! Many thanks for the review and we look forward to touring with you again. Soon!

Great holiday
5 day golden triangle tour. Very good. Met nice members of the motorcycle riding community. Good company. Guides were knowledgeable with good English skills. Scenery and roads were unbelievable. Mechanic on tour was very good, servicing and reading ECU even between days. Bikes and tyres were good. All in all a great holiday. Marked down slightly due to seat comfort of BMW GS800. Would have taken my air hawk in hind sight.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review! We truly enjoyed our time together. It was fantastic having you along for the journey and sharing those unforgettable moments and activities. Here's to hoping our paths cross again someday, buddy. Cheers, mate

Big bikes in Thailand
Kay and Noah have put together a great experience along with our Thai guide Kaeb and support team - Tony and Lrut. I was riding Noah’s personal bike which was dialed in and a ton of fun. It was my first ride on big bikes in Thailand and I absolutely loved it! The food was excellent along the way and to my surprise we met up with other tours in other cities getting to meet new people from all over the world. Would definitely recommend the tour to anyone that would like the experience of riding big bikes around SE Asia and beyond!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your review of Big Bike Tours on TripAdvisor. We were delighted to have you join our tour and thrilled to hear you had a fantastic time. Wishing you all the best for your future endeavors and eagerly look forward to welcoming you back for another exciting adventure. Cheers, mate!

a Perfect Piece of peace here
A poplar destination for out- of -town young folk is PHAM KAFAE, PUA hosted by the zany duo Khamee(Jo Ann) and Patcha. Drop in to sample various types of local coffee Baan Maneepruek, try imported salted caramel or try a variety of imported English teas. Cool drinks are plentiful. There is an eclectic collection of ancient objets d'art located inside and outside in the spacious grounds. Relax there and meet up with friends or simply admire the stunning scenery and panorama of the valley below. Pua is nestled among lush green rice fields and encircled by distant, misty mountains. Try it, you won't be disapponted and will want to return!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! Providing exceptional experiences is our top priority, and we're thrilled you had such a fantastic time. We're eagerly anticipating the next ride together. Thanks once more, stay well and enjoy safe rides ahead.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Day Motorcycle Tour (Nan Loop) from Chiang Mai, Thailand: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chiang Mai.
How much does 3 Day Motorcycle Tour (Nan Loop) from Chiang Mai, Thailand cost?
+
Prices start at $1350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chiang Mai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Day Motorcycle Tour (Nan Loop) from Chiang Mai, Thailand take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chiang Mai is not rushed.
Is 3 Day Motorcycle Tour (Nan Loop) from Chiang Mai, Thailand worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Chiang Mai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Day Motorcycle Tour (Nan Loop) from Chiang Mai, Thailand?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3 Day Motorcycle Tour (Nan Loop) from Chiang Mai, Thailand suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Day Motorcycle Tour (Nan Loop) from Chiang Mai, Thailand?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chiang Mai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chiang Mai and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Day Motorcycle Tour (Nan Loop) from Chiang Mai, Thailand start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chiang Mai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chiang Mai?
+
On Outty we rank every Chiang Mai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai, Full Day Thai Cooking at Farm (Chiang Mai), Thai and Akha Cooking Class in Chiang Mai. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chiang Mai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chiang Mai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
