About the ride

Built by young people for young people, this fantastic overseas adventure is exclusively for 17-25 year olds. Experience Thailand like never before, make life-long friendships and improve the lives of Thai children – all while having the time of your life!

Cycle through remote villages and majestic landscapes while meeting the beautiful Thai people along the way. Not many get to experience the country in such a unique and authentic way. The highlight of the trip will be riding into PAMA House on the final day, where you will be welcomed by the children that you have worked so hard to support.
