Tour De Thailand -- North

This video is the first of two episodes made for a Cable TV travel program called Destination Thailand and represents the 6th Annual Tour de Thailand - Northern Half. The Annual Tour de Thailand Charity Bicycle Ride is an epic event that takes international participants of all levels from Chiang Mai all the way down to Phuket by bicycle every December/January. The entire journey is over 2,300 Kilometers/1,420 Miles and includes 22 days of cycling with 5 days off for sightseeing, rest, and relaxation. Since most people cannot take an entire 4 weeks away from work and other responsibilities, the Tour de Thailand is separated into a Northern Half and a Southern Half that people can join according to their availability. The beneficiaries of this annual charity event are Operation Smile (www.operationsmile.org) and the Foundation for the Blind in Thailand under the Royal Patronage of Her Majesty the Queen (www.blind.or.th). The event is owned and operated by the Tour de Asia Bicycle Touring Co., Ltd. and they are based in Hua Hin, Thailand where they run bicycle day tours consisting of mountain biking, beach cruising, road riding, and other sightseeing by bicycle. Tour de Asia also owns and operates the annual Tour de Isan Charity Bicycle Ride every June/July that takes participants along the Mekong River and the Thai/Laos Border from Nong Khai to Ubon Ratchathani and is coordinated to finish during the International Wax Sculpture Festival every July in Ubon.
