Highly recommended. I ride Khao Ito frequently and have done for a few years now. Not overly technical, but fun nonetheless. A good way to work up some much needed quality offroad kms while on my R&R. Hands down beats going up Khao Yai and back! As my partner woman is a Prachin Buri girl, Ito is in my backyard…
