点评:Our guide, Lek was nice and early to pick us up from the hotel to go to the Trailhead shop where you can have a coffee, light snacks and more importantly choose a helmet that fits you. They also can provide a rucksack & protective gear if you need them. A rucksack is handy to keep your mobile, extra bottles of water, sunglasses etc. Expect a 40-45 minute ride to the start of the trail. You can leave stuff in the car but do make sure you bring enough water with you. They bring an ice box with drinks so help yourself. The bikes were Trek so quite decent quality - you can even ask the guide to adjust the suspension, saddle height, and tire pressure to your liking.
Lek was very attentive to adjust the trail route according to our ability. Bear in mind that in a group you will be going at the pace of the slowest person which in today’s case was me! The half day jungle trek is considered a 3/5 difficulty level but do ensure that you have reasonable cardio fitness and that you have done MTB in the forest before. Don’t be a hero and do alert your guide if you’re feeling dizzy and need a rest.
It was great chatting to Lek as he is very knowledgeable about the local and regional history and culture. The end of your ride is rewarded with an ice cold coconut and freshly cut watermelon. Lunch is provided but you can request for something specific like the famous local Khao soi noodles.
翻译:我们的导游 Lek 很热情,很早就来酒店接我们,带我们去了 Trailhead 商店,在那里您可以喝咖啡、吃点小吃,更重要的是,选择一顶适合您的头盔。如果您需要,他们还可以提供背包和防护装备。背包可以方便地放置您的手机、额外的瓶装水、太阳镜等。预计需要 40-45 分钟的车程才能到达小径的起点。您可以将东西留在车上,但一定要带足够的水。他们带来一个装有饮料的冰箱,所以请自便。自行车是 Trek 的,质量相当不错 - 您甚至可以要求导游根据您的喜好调整悬架、鞍座高度和轮胎压力。
Lek 非常细心地根据我们的能力调整小径路线。请记住,在一个团体中,您将按照最慢的人的速度前进,今天的情况就是我!半天的丛林跋涉难度为 3/5,但请确保您有合理的心肺功能,并且之前曾在森林中骑过山地自行车。不要自以为是,如果您感到头晕并需要休息,请通知您的导游。
与 Lek 聊天很愉快,因为他非常了解当地和地区的历史和文化。骑行结束时,您可以享用冰镇椰子和新鲜切好的西瓜作为奖励。午餐提供,但您可以要求提供一些特定的东西,例如著名的当地 Khao soi 面条。
