7. Si Satchanalai - Wang Chin Bicycle Track

This bicycle track is a 81 Km bike ride from Si Satchanalai to Wang Chin, being the seventh track from the Ayutthaya - Chiang Mai Route.

We continue to follow road #1201 over Nong O to Pa Ngio, where we cross the Yom River to Mae Sam over road #101. After a few kilometers we leave the latter and turn into road #1177 over Mae Sin. After a few kilometers, we turn north into a road with no name which joins up with road 1125 in Na Phun of Wang Chin District and turns again towards the Yom River. We continue on this road, which follows the Yom River until Wang Chin.

The tour will take about 5 to 6 hours depending on the weather conditions and your physical fitness. The track is fully paved. There are passages involved over main roads with rather heavy traffic. Be careful in these locations. Points of Interest are mainly for reference.

Tips and Warnings

Be cautious as traffic is sometimes chaotic and dangerous. Motor vehicles often fail to see cyclists and pedestrians, so you must closely watch out for them. Motorcycles are a common cause of local accidents. Dogs and potholes can also be dangerous, especially in remote areas.

Be visible and wear yellow or orange colors. Use flashing rear bike lights during your bicycle trip. It is inadvisable to drive at night due to the lack of lighting.

Weather can be very hot, so make sure to drink plenty of fluids and wear sun block. Cover the body parts as much as possible and wear a hat or even better a bike helmet. Stay hydrated!

Be sure to have a tire repair kit with you, as flat tires are common due to the badly maintained roads and the lack of bicycle paths.
