Our Top Pick Event for the month of May is the Bangkok Bike Thailand Challenge in Cha am. Now in its second year the Bangkok Bike Thailand Challenge series is a number of races organized by the Bangkok Bike group that welcomes all competitors to provinces within a couple of hours drive from Bangkok. We like this event because it has great web presence, early online registration (Thai and English), and plenty of race details (including route information and categories). Expect plenty of race-ready and casual participants across all categories. Nearby beachside towns of Cha am and Hua Hin have plenty of accommodation and restaurant options as well as attractions for family members who need something to do while you are away at the race.
