Prologue Tour de Isan

This bicycle track is a 40+ Km ride to the west of Nong Khai, being a warm-up ride for the Tour de Isan ride, which will bring us from Nong Khai to Ubon Ratchathani. The track starts along the Mekong River until Ban Wiang Khuk and then leads us to Wat Phra That Bang Phuan. After a short visit of the historical site we drive back to our accommodation.

The tour will take about 2 to 3 hours depending on the weather conditions and your physical fitness. 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.
