Kamphaeng Phet is the perfect place to mix skating with an authentic cultural experience.
After thirty years skating the world, Eddy Matzger is eager to show you why this area of Thailand is his favorite place to roll on earth!
Happy to help improve your technique, teach you how to stop, or train for the next big event, Eddy will take you on the tour of a lifetime in the Land of Smiles.
We skate beautiful backroads to new destinations daily. The terrain is generally flat to rolling and suitable for all levels. No matter what your speed, locals will cheer you on!
There are optional challenging routes as well, especially the last pitches up to waterfalls and rivers. Grab on, or just pile in to the support truck!
You'll picnic and play at amazing destinations before returning home for massage, merriment, unbelievable Thai food, video review, and a deep night's sleep.
The 9 day Classic Trip has 7 full days of skating your heart out. We sandwich three days of touring with one "active rest day" in Kamphaeng Phet, ancient fortified capital city of Siam, where we glide around a centuries-old temple complex and dive deep into the past.
Our Promise
No matter what your pace, we never leave anyone behind! For larger groups we always have one vehicle up front and one towards the rear. Eddy loves to go back and forth and skate with everybody.
This tour is for all enthusiasts, inline and quad skaters, and non-skaters alike (we also have a bicycle and e-bike option). Even if you know someone who's not keen on exercise, they can still have the time of their life coming along for the ride.
