This is often a
question. In SE Asia the weather is suitable for motorcycle touring
all year round because the temperature seldom drops below 30
Degrees Celsius. In recent years we have not experienced a
typical "rainy season" between May and
November. I personally prefer this season because of
lush bright green vegetation, magnificent waterfalls, clean
rain-washed roads and ...no tourist hoards. Occasional rain
shower is a blessing that has a cooling effect.

| Ride with us and you will come away
loving Thailand as much as we do.

 If
variety is the spice of life, Thailand is its country of
origin. A riot of colour meets the eye from shoreline to city
sights – the sparkling white of sugar sand beaches, the hues
of blue in a shimmering sea, lush greens of tangled jungle
tumbling down hillsides, bright pinks of bougainvilleas
cascading down walls, red – roofed pagodas, mud brown canals
and the saffron robes of much photographed monks… All these
and more bedazzle the first-time visitor. Described by many as
Asia’s most exotic country, its favoured destinations
encompass the calm of coconut islands and the neon-lit
nightlife of teeming resorts. A shoppers’ paradise, its
browsing and bartering venues span the spectrum from
air-conditioned comfort of sophisticated stores, to old-world
shops with jumbled gems of merchandise and sampan stalls on
the floating market of “klong” waterways. Dining out is de
rigueur to sample and savour the cuisine. Spiced in degrees
from moderate to fiery, ‘bland’ no more registers here
than in any other aspect of lifestyle

Touring
with Avalon Everyone
who enjoys motorcycle touring is welcome on our tours. |
We
strongly believe in low impact or rather positive impact
of tourism at Avalon. Broadly speaking this means that
we try to minimize the negative aspects of tourism on
the local cultures and environments that we visit and
highlight the positive. After all is there a better way
to see the country face to face than by motorcycle? Yes,
maybe walking or cycling - but it would take ages to
visit all the places we do. And no coach tour can give
you the feeling of being so close to the nature and
people either. |

The
region
SE Asia - the region of
exotic beauty
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 SE Asia, you will live it!.
And
finally
You will not have a care
in the world
From the moment our
taxi driver picks you up at Bangkok Airport you will be in
good hands. With eight years of experience organizing
motorcycle tours around Thailand we carefully planned each tour to include safe,
spectacular and scenic routes with beautiful panoramic views
and expose riders to region's culture, history and cuisine.
All the while, you will travel in the simple way that respects
the environment and culture of your host country.

"I
just returned after completing the Grand Tour with Avalon.
Previously I had been on two tours in Vietnam and last
October I rode solo for 5-days in Kanchanaburi Province in
Thailand. All the tours and my solo ride were different in
many aspects, but I thoroughly enjoyed each of them. Grand
Tour is probably less demanding than rides in Bolivia and
Peru. It was certainly less physically demanding than either
of the two tours I took in Vietnam.
The guide can make or
break the overall enjoyment of the trip. I can say without
any reservation that BJ won't disappoint you in his
hospitality, planning or execution of the ride. He speaks
the Thai language, knows the customs, and has developed this
tour to encompass all the various types of roadways in
Thailand. His attention to the details impressed me; he
never had to refer to a map even if circumstances forced us
to alter the planned route. I felt I didn't have a care in
the world; never had to worry about where to sleep or where
to eat. I looked forward to the ride each day.
I might add
that I am taking the Mekong Tour this October. One last
comment; the Honda bikes BJ uses are perfect for Thailand.
We often cruised at 100-110 kph, and the bike still had the
fire for passing. If you want more info than I have
addressed, drop me a line and I'll try to answer any and all
questions. Bottom line: without hesitation, I strongly
recommend BJ and Avalon.
