If you’ve ever visited Bangkok then you would be forgiven for writing central Thailand off as MTB territory. The trails at Khao E-to (or I-to as it is sometimes spelt) however are just two and a half hours drive outside Bangkok.
Does this sound to good to be true? Well, the remote trails at Khao E-to are technical and challenging for even an experienced mountain biker. They consist of steep up and downhill sections with sandy soil combined with rugged rocks and rock slab drop offs. The tracks are tough and technical but as with most good flowing single track, a less experienced rider can creep through, while more experienced riders can up the wattage and in doing so up the difficulty level. |

There are three different trails and you could make a couple of days out of it if you wanted. There is a good place to stay not far from Khao I-to called Grand Garden which is marked on the map and also a bike shop just incase you need any spares. |

| Khao E-to Single Track Green Trail |
Green Trail
We have to choose our words wisely on this one. We could say it is the easiest out of the three as it's nearly all single track but we're not going to. The green trail consists of two great loops of fast flowing single track. It can be quite technical at times but keeps rewarding the rider with smooth flowing single track descents. The green trail is probably the easiest out of the three trails as it cuts out the exhausting up hill climb on the road and there’s an opportunity half way to stop at the restaurant and have a well earned break. |

| Khao E-to Single Track Blue Trail |
The Blue Trail
The Blue trail is an excellent technical ride with a downhill single track and is definately not an easy ride.The first part of the trail is a great single track loop with technical climbs and rewarding fast flowing single track descent. As you come out onto the road after the first two sections of single track a support vehicle is recommended to take you to the top of the mountain (at least on your first time on this trail) otherwise to get to the top is 2 km ride uphill on an unshaded road before you start the 2 mile downhill on the left hand side of the mountain...

| Khao E-to Single Track Red Trail |
Red Trail
The technical Red Trail can be made as technical or as basic as you like, technical jumps can be avoided to suit the rider. It is similar to the Blue trail starting off with the first part of the trail being a great single track loop with technical climbs and rewarding fast flowing single track descent. The first section is the same as the green trail which is all singletrack with the same steady riding climb through the jungle along the side of E-to mountain. And then a nice descent through tghe second section of trail before coming back out on the road for a second time.
