Hello.
New to this forum but with quite a lot riding experience in Europe.
I am arriving to Phuket 30/1 to do the seven day mandatory sand box stay.
After that, I will travel to Wichian to my mother in law to meet the bike my wife bought when she visited Thai a few months back.
After that I "plan" to ride in Thailand for maybe three weeks.
I plan to make as little plan as possible, try to just see what happens, but I will go to chaiyaphum area to look at some land we bought there, or the wife did when I was in Sweden..
So I would be grateful for ideas on what to do, where to go, what to see and what not to do, where not to go.
The wife and I did the Mae Hong son loop a few years back on rented bikes, but I guess I will go to that area again because of the roads in the mountain.
I am going to need to buy some riding gear, helmet etc. and I think that would be easier to to in Phuket during the seven day stay there rather then bringing from Sweden.
Problem is, I bought some riding shoes in Chiang Mai, shoes from a well known brand and pretty expensive.
After 5 km. one of the shoes just fell apart..
So I am a little bit worried to buy a helmet in Thailand.
Can any one recommend a reliable store in Phuket that sell biking gear?
