Siam Enduro
Thirty years of guiding the same mountains gives Siam Enduro a depth of trail knowledge that no other operator can match. Their philosophy — designed for fun, not distance — means every route is curated for maximum riding quality per kilometre. For intermediate to advanced riders who want the best possible trail experience, Siam Enduro is in a class of its own.

Siam Enduro's founder has been riding and guiding in the mountains around Chiang Mai for over three decades. That accumulated knowledge — which trails flood in heavy rain, which climbs become unrideable in burning season, which sections open up after the first rains, which hill tribe villages will let riders pass through — is the foundation of what makes Siam Enduro exceptional.
The Philosophy
'Designed for fun, not distance' is Siam Enduro's core principle, and it produces tours that feel qualitatively different from distance-focused operations. Rather than covering maximum ground, routes are structured around the riding highlights: the best climbs, the most satisfying single track sections, the ridgeline with the most dramatic views. A 70km Siam Enduro day often delivers more genuine trail riding than a 150km day elsewhere.
Trail Network
The Siam Enduro trail network is the product of 30 years of local relationship-building. Many trails cross private land, run through villages where guides have personal relationships with community leaders, or access national park areas through established permit arrangements. This network is simply not available to independent riders or newer operators.
Who It's For
Siam Enduro is best suited to riders with some off-road experience who want the richest possible trail experience. Complete beginners might find the default difficulty level a stretch — though they can accommodate beginners with advance notice and route adjustment. Experienced riders consistently rate Siam Enduro as the highlight of their Chiang Mai riding experience.
Verdict
For the quality of trail riding experience, Siam Enduro sets the benchmark. If you have some off-road experience and want the best possible day on a bike in Northern Thailand, book Siam Enduro.
