The Route

Six days and roughly 434 km, from the Malaysian island of Langkawi to the beaches of Krabi in southern Thailand.

It’s an adventure rather than a race, with rice fields, rubber plantations, village food stalls and plenty of sea views.

Day 1, Mon 19 Oct, Langkawi to Satun (approx. 75 km): an early ferry to Perlis, Malaysia’s northernmost state, quiet rural roads and lunch by Tasoh Lake near the Thai border.

Day 2, Tue 20 Oct, Satun to Satun Beach (approx. 72 km): back roads through peaceful Satun Province and an afternoon by the sea.

Day 3, Wed 21 Oct, Satun Beach to Yan Ta Khao, Trang (approx. 74 km): smooth Thai roads, village food stalls and a night market in a small Trang town.

Day 4, Thu 22 Oct, Yan Ta Khao to Trang Beach (approx. 65 km): tropical greenery and villages on the way west to the Trang coast.

Day 5, Fri 23 Oct, Trang Beach to Hot Springs, Krabi (approx. 74 km): into Krabi Province and a finish at the Saline Hot Water Springs, a welcome soak for tired legs.

Day 6, Sat 24 Oct, Hot Springs to Ao Nang Beach, Krabi (approx. 74 km): the final stretch through rubber plantations and back roads to the finish at Ao Nang, framed by limestone cliffs.

Sun 25 Oct: head home.
