Whistlestop tour along the Thai frontier

Ride through countryside speckled with orchards, waterfalls and Khmer ruins on this journey through border country. You’re right at the edge of Thailand here where the country meets Cambodia – and the frontier roads are extraordinary. See cultures collide at buzzy border town markets, taste a plethora of local dishes with self-confessed foodie Prasit, visit ancient temples and take on mountain roads. We can’t think of a better way to spend six days.
