Carry extra water
Bring a refillable bottle or take bottled water provided—hydrate before the ride and sip regularly on Thailand’s humid mornings.
Sun protection is critical
Wear sunscreen, a brimmed cap under your helmet or UV sleeves—the midday sun intensifies quickly on open paddies.
Confirm bike fit and brakes
Use the pre-ride fitting and quick brake check in the safety briefing to avoid discomfort on dirt sections.
Observe temple dress code
Wear or carry a lightweight layer to cover shoulders and knees before entering Wat Rong Khun; some areas prohibit shorts or sleeveless tops.
Helmet (if you prefer your own)
A helmet is supplied but bringing a comfortable personal helmet improves fit and hygiene.
Breathable cycling top
Light, moisture-wicking layers keep you cool and protect from sun exposure.

Sturdy closed-toe shoes
