If you are unfamiliar with the area, please ask for the most up-to-date trail conditions from local riders or rental shops. The routes here are presented with trail conditions as of their publishing. Trail conditions can change suddenly, especially during rainy season.
If you are not confident in your skills for a given trail, or if you are unsure about route conditions in the area, consider using a local tour operator.

The heart of Northern Thailand's dirt bike scene. Chiang Mai offers incredible diversity with jungle trails, mountain passes, and valley roads. From beginner-friendly loops to challenging single-track, this region has it all. The area surrounding Doi Suthep-Pui National Park provides endless exploration opportunities with stunning temples and viewpoints along the way.
Known as the 'Land of Three Mists', Mae Hong Son is the ultimate destination for adventure riders. The famous Mae Hong Son Loop offers 600km of twisting mountain roads with over 1,800 curves. Remote villages, misty mountains, and challenging terrain make this region a bucket-list experience. The ride through Pai and beyond offers some of Thailand's most spectacular scenery.
The northernmost province offers a perfect blend of culture and adventure. Chiang Rai features less crowded trails with equally stunning scenery. The Golden Triangle area provides unique cross-border views, while the surrounding mountains offer excellent off-road opportunities. Tea plantations and hot springs add to the region's charm.
Often overlooked, Nan is a hidden gem for dirt bike enthusiasts. This mountainous province offers pristine nature, authentic Thai culture, and challenging trails away from tourist crowds. The landscape features dramatic limestone cliffs, dense forests, and remote valleys. Perfect for riders seeking solitude and adventure.
Bordering Myanmar, Tak offers frontier adventure riding with dramatic scenery along the Moei River. The province features Thailand's longest cable-stayed bridge and access to some of the most remote trails in the north. Mae Sot serves as a gateway to border adventures and the famous Death Railway route from WWII history.
