Good Morning All.

I am new on here, so make my apologies for the possible repeat of the questions.

Can anyone tell me if there are good ROAD routes in Bangkok and SE Thailand? I am currently living in Cambodia and there is very little option for a road bike.

So I am looking to maybe make a commute a couple of times a month to come and ride, but would like a little advice first.

 

Thanks in advance.

Mac.

Thanks for your question Mac3778.

 

We would suggest that you make use of road maps in either digital form (GPS device) or paper form. The best paper maps available in Thailand are made by a company called ThinkNet. ThinkNet maps (some include a CD) can be purchased online (prior to your arrival in Thailand) or at larger book stores in Thailand (after you arrive). Check international chain book stores like SE-ED Book Center and Asia Books that can be found in most shopping malls. You will not be able to find ThinkNet maps in local Thai book stores.

 

Here is a great article covering this information - http://bicyclethaila...transport-food/

 

If you purchase a GPS unit from a company like Garmin, you will need to also purchase the Thailand country map.
