Safety

Your safety is our top priority. Wearing a helmet is mandatory on all rides. If you choose not to wear a helmet, you won’t be permitted to cycle. All of our guides are trained in first aid and emergency rescue, but we encourage all cyclists to be mindful of their own safety during the ride.

While the route is physically demanding, you can always hop into the support vehicle if you need a break. We want everyone to enjoy the journey, not just the destination.

Money & Currency Tips for Cambodia, Vietnam & Thailand
  • Vietnam: The official national currency is the Vietnam Dong, but the US dollar is widely accepted in tourist centers. However, in smaller towns and villages the Dong is preferred. ATMs are available in all major tourist destinations and big cities. Vietcombank has the best network with a single withdrawal limit of 2,000,000d (about US$125). Most major currencies can be exchanged at leading banks in Vietnam, but the US dollar is preferred away from the tourist centers. Changing US$100 will make you an instant millionaire! You cannot legally take the dong out of Vietnam but you can reconvert reasonable amounts of it into US dollars on departure.

  • Cambodia: US dollars and Thai baht are used extensively in cities. Cambodian riel is typically used in smaller towns. ATMs are common, and most dispense US dollars. You may need to use riel in rural areas.

  • Thailand: The Thai currency is the baht. ATMs, which are abundant, are the easiest ways to get Thai baht. Have a supply of US dollars in cash on hand, just in case your card doesn’t work. Banks or the rarer private moneychangers offer the best foreign-exchange rates. Credit cards are accepted in big cities and resort hotels but you’ll need baht for family-run guesthouses or restaurants.

Solo Traveller

Solo travelers are welcome on our tour! While our prices are based on twin-sharing accommodation, we will pair you with another solo traveler of the same gender. If you prefer a private room, this option is available at an additional cost.

Thailand: All nationalities require a passport for entry into Thailand. Please ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond the duration of your stay in the country. If staying less than 30 days then a visa in advance is not required by European, North American, Australian and many other nationalities. Please check this page to see if you qualify. You will need to show proof of an onward flight out of Thailand to be eligible for the visa on arrival. This is strictly enforced.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is mandatory for all participants. Ensure your policy covers personal injury, medical expenses, and cancellation. We recommend securing insurance as soon as you book your trip to ensure you’re covered in case of unexpected cancellations or emergencies.

Deposit & Final Payment

A 30% deposit is required to confirm your booking, with the remaining 70% due 30 days before departure. Full payment is required for bookings made within one month of departure.

Final Tour Confirmation

Upon booking, we will send a final tour confirmation with essential details, including flight information, visa advice, a packing list, and a comprehensive itinerary. You’ll also receive a checklist to ensure you’re fully prepared for your unforgettable adventure cycling.
