Had a great time on the Old Town Khao Lak bike tour. Am took us to the Tsunami museum which was very moving & worth experiencing. We stopped off at a house where the owner prepared a fresh coconut for us to drink from her tree! We went into the old town where the locals were preparing for the Vegetarian festival so it was buzzing. Had a nice lunch & refreshments & then we went to the Iron Bridge. Took lots of photos during the tour & Am checked with us as to whether we needed a rest, to take photos or a drink. I can thoroughly recommend this tour & especially on an e-bike!

Nunn and the team at Hands Experience Thailand are fantastic to deal with and we couldn't recommend them enough. During our time in Khao Lak we arranged 3 different tours with the team on different days- a fantastic well organised day bike ride that gave you a taste of Thailand you just don't see in taxi, car transport to explore the local vibrant Sunday market in Takua Pa (this makert shouldn't be missed if you love trying local street food) and a further tour arranged to see the elephants, turtles & bamboo rafting . Communication - excellent , safety - excellent, passion for the community - excellent ! We loved that part of our $$$ were being put back into the community and local orphanage.

We have travelled to Khao Lak for the past 8 years and this was by far the best Tour we have ever participated in. Firstly the booking system is easy and user friendly. We booked online and received immediate confirmation with correspondence from Nicha of our upcoming tour. Friendly and warm from the start. On the day of our tour we were collected personally by Nunn from our hotel, and to our delight were the only ones for the day so experienced a VIP private day! We were taken directly to headquarters not far away where our bikes were ready and waiting, (we had been asked our heights prior so they were perfectly adjusted) we were given a quick demonstration of the e bikes (I should mention we opted for this as an extra given the Thailand heat and not knowing what we were riding on the 30km) the bikes are exceptional- cannondales, modern, clean with drink holders that they supplied us with big drink bottles of iced water that were replenished during the journey. So easy to use and we loved the e bike option to really get the most out of the ride. Once ready we headed to the Tsunami museum to stroll at our leisure, both informative and interesting and worth the visit. From there we rode about an hr to the Old TakuaPa town to stop at an incredible 300 year old coffee shop for Thai tea and tasty snacks. Am was in the support vehicle behind us and bought in fresh watermelon and pineapple also, so lovely. We then continued our ride through takua Pa, stunning country roads, past local buildings and even experienced a herd of water buffalo with farmers. The scenery was beautiful and all the while our guide Nunn provided us with local information which was so interesting. We then visited a temple, and rode on further to have a delicious lunch at an authentic Thai restaurant. We tried a local desert and really enjoyed the company of Nunn and Am. Whilst eating lunch our bikes were packed up and we then finished up with a tour of the orphanage that Many Hands Accross the Water supports which was such a lovely way to end the trip. We were returned to our hotel so happy and enthusiastic to participate in a bigger ride next year through Thailand to raise money for this incredible organisation. I must add that my partner and I do not consider ourselves bike enthusiasts/athletes but found the tour very rewarding and not difficult utilising the e-bikes. We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Khao Lak to book any bike tour with this company, we felt so well looked after, so much so that we have made new friends for the future. Professional, honest, so well organised and supportive of an organisation changing lives of young people. Thank you for what you have created.
