Koh Yao Noi (Little Long Island) is a sleepy island still enjoying a slow pace of life located in Phang Nga Bay, only 1 hour’s boat ride away from the international resort island of Phuket.
The moment you step on to these islands the usual stress and worries of every day life melts away and the island pace of life gets a hold of you. While Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist country these islands are mainly populated by peaceful Muslim communities that make a living from fishing, rice farming and rubber tree plantations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Generally we use Trek Marlin 6 mountain bikes, this brand of mountain bike provides very tough, reliable, quality frames and all parts are of very high quality. The range of gears also makes tackling the hilly sections much easier.
The reason why we choose Mountain Bikes over road bikes, despite many sections of our tours being on good condition roads, some sections of roads can have potholes, poor top surface, sand and mud. Many of our bike tours also include off road sections which means road bikes are not suitable for our Southern Thailand mountain bike tours.
Our Trek Mountain bikes are changed every few seasons plus are kept well maintained and serviced, all bikes are completely checked before the start of each tour.
- Amazing Bike Tours staff always carries spares in case of emergency.
- If you have a flat tyre that needs some air or an inner tube that needs changing our tour leaders are hands on and will take of this.
- We supply bike helmets with our bikes which must be worn when cycling. If you have you own feel free to bring it.
- Our bikes are equipped with a single cage for holding a water bottle. If you prefer more please bring an extra cage and we will fit it for you.
- If you used to using SPD pedals and would like to do so during our bike tour, please bring your pedals, cleats and cycling shoes and we will fit them for you.
- Each evening our team will give the bikes a clean and check over so every thing is ready before the start of cycling the next day.
If you prefer to bring your own bike please do, after all using a piece of equipment you are familiar with is always more preferable. However if you do bring your own bike it must be thoroughly serviced before joining our bike tour.
As our mountain bike tours include bike rental we will deduct a small fee for those that supply their own bike.
Our road bike tours do not include bike rental. You can bring your own road bike or rent one from us for an additional charge.
If you bring your own bike please accept we can not be held responsible for minor damage or scratching that can occur when loading or unloading the bikes from our support vehicles.
Amazing Bike Tours has a fleet of Trek Emonda ALR5 (2018 model) road bikes in frame sizes 50-62cm.
For our Road Bike Tours many guests chose to bring their own bikes, joining a longer tour it can be nice using a bike you are familiar with and comfortable using. However that does mean you will have very little luggage allowance left for personal items if you travel with your own bike. You can avoid the trouble of travelling with your road bike by renting one of our Trek Emonda ALR5 road bikes.

What our clients say about us
Eriberto P
16 March 2024 ★★★★★We did a 10 day private tour of Thailand with Amazing Bike Tours (ABT), including a couple of days of biking in Chiang Mai and a day in Phuket. ABT put together a great mix of biking and classic tours at a reasonable price. They responded quickly to emails and were very easy to deal with. The whole trip was fantastic, from the boat trips to James Bond Island to staying overnight in Bangkok and other towns. Our guide, Tom, was not only knowledgeable but also really friendly - he even became our unofficial photographer and shared all his photos with us. I definitely recommend ABT if you're planning a trip to Asia.

23 April 2024 ★★★★★I booked Cycle Thailand to Cambodia in 2023. Stephen at Amazing Bike Tours was excellent, very helpful, responsive and knowledgeable. In particular, our local tour guide Tom was outstanding. He was essential to connecting with local village people, visit remote villages, and explore exotic food. Can't wait for my next adventure

5 May 2024 ★★★★★We spent 12 days with Amazing Bike Tours from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh via Battambang. Our tour was perfectly tailored to our route and physical condition and on the last day, we were safely transported to our beach accommodation in Sihanoukville. The organization was flawless from start to finish. The accommodation was also comfortable, allowing us to rest well after eventful days. The tour provided great value for money. The experiences were unique and could fill two vacation reports! The bikes were perfectly adjusted to our needs, with well-maintained gears and brakes. If there was a minor issue, the guide promptly addressed it. The minivan support was modern and very comfortable. The driver was excellent and we felt safe! Besides the visual impressions, we learned a lot about the country and its people.

18 January 2024 ★★★★★We had a custom and private 3-day bike tour in the Mekong Delta with Loc, our expert bike tour guide who organized, coordinated, and led three days of fantastic bike touring. Our tour of the the Mekong Delta included Cai Lay, Cai Be, Can Tho, and My Tho, before catching a luxury Mekong River cruise up to Cambodia. Loc was a great guide who really helped us appreciate the culture of the untouched tourist areas of the delta where we met fantastic people and toured through incredible villages, markets, Khmer temple, and even a local school. Loc did an excellent job of pacing the bike ride to our activity level and we enjoyed some great lunches at some local residences, even picking up some rat at a local market we toured and having it expertly prepared at a local home. Our best, most authentic Vietnamese meals were enjoyed on this biking tour. We had a van w/driver following us throughout the bike rides to ensure we had plenty of water and picked us up when we were ready to be done for the day. Loc also gave us a tour of Saigon as well as the underground Vietnam war tunnels at Cu Chi. I can't say enough about the biking tours and Loc was just a fantastic guide. We hated to say good-bye as we continued our tour of Southeast Asia but will always cherish the bike tour we had with Loc in Vietnam.
