MOUNTAIN BIKE AND MULTI-SPORT ADVENTURE SPECIALISTS, CHIANG MAI, NORTHERN THAILAND
WELCOME FROM THE TEAM AT CRANK ADVENTURES
We have been in operation for 4 years now and so have given in to the requests of putting our trips on this website so everyone can have access to our adventures. Previously our clients have come to us from word of mouth and referrals from past customers, but our friends back home have demanded that we show the world what we get up to. So, here we are.
Cranks founders have been involved with the adventure travel industry for most of their working lives. After extensive experience leading adventure tours for large companies we learnt there were much better destinations, there were better ways to run things, and mostly that respect for the locals is of the utmost importance. We have designed our trips so that you can have huge amounts of fun without ever being concerned about your safety, any hidden nasty surprises, or that you are going to have to dig into your pocket after being told everything was already paid for. We have a small team who share in handling all parts of the business. This is to ensure personalised service and so you know that from the time you book your trip to the time we all say goodbye that you've been totally taken care of.
"Just what we were looking for. An experience we will never forget. Thank you so much to the team at Crank Adventures for showing us places that nobody else seemed to go to. I planned to trek around Northern Thailand, but riding the trails was so much fun that we recommend everybody does it this way. We were so well looked after and it was great to have a guide and instructor/mechanic to explain everything clearly. This is the new way to see the hilltribes and jungles of Northern Thailand."

Crank's Tour Leaders are multi-talented Outdoor Adventurers with comprehensive training in all the activities they run. They are certified in first-aid, fluent in the local language, experienced rock climbing instructors, bike mechanics, rescue swimmers, masseuses, guitar players, comedians, athletes, chefs, photographers and are never short of a great story to tell.....and we've actually only spoken about one guy so far!!
At Crank we firmly believe in giving you the best of both worlds, you get an Ex-Pat Tour Leader as well as a local guide who has grown up in the area and knows everything there is to know about a place its history and its peoples culture and beliefs. Crank has got to know the best guides in the region and has lured them in with our trips. You will notice how much they love there work as soon as you meet them, they are probably as or more excited than most of our clients.
