Frequently Asked Questions
-
How far in advance should we make a reservation?
Due to the nature of our trips and small group sizes, places are limited. To avoid being disappointed, we encourage participants to book as early as possible.
-
How long will it take to receive confirmation/answer?
Almost all requests will be replied within 24 hours. In the unlikely event you don’t receive a reply within 24 hours, please resend request, in case it hasn’t been received properly.
-
Isn’t it too hot to cycle in the tropics?
Actually the opposite is true. Due to the wind you’ll feel while cycling, it’s much more comfortable compared to visiting monuments on foot. The wind during our cycling tours has a cooling effect. In addition, all our tours are on flat terrain.
-
What should I wear?
The best things to wear are lightweight cotton clothes, shorts or pants, T-shirt and sport shoes. (no flip-flops or sandals) A hat or cap is recommended.
-
What do I need to bring?
Try to limit your luggage to necessities only. Sun protection lotion, if you have a sensitive skin. Bring your video or photo camera. Don’t forget to check the batteries or bring spares! If you have a belt-bag that holds these things, and you would like to bring along, that’s ideal.

During all our trips we provide participants with plenty of drinking water free of charge.

Do I need to be very fit in order to participate in your trips?
RBB Ltd. only designs and operates trips for people who can balance and ride a bicycle. We take a break every hour, and the trips themselves are not about kilometres travelled or speed, but are very relaxed. This is the only way to enjoy the trip and surroundings. Besides cycling, no special skills are required. If you have a condition that requires special attention, please inform us in advance so that we can advise what is best for you.
-
If it is raining, will the trip still operate?
Our trips are never cancelled due to rain. Most of the trips avoid the rain due to the fact that it rains in Thailand mostly during the evening/night time, or in short sharp bursts. In case we do have heavy rain, we shelter and have poncho’s (light rain jackets) available for you to wear.
