Mountain Biking Trail in U Thong, Suphanburi

The province of Suphanburi doesn’t spring to mind when thinking about mountain biking in Thailand, however there are a few trails tucked away on small hills throughout the province. U Thong is a small district, 20 minutes from Suphanburi town which has a small hill overlooking the town. There is ample parking at the base of the hill and a number of trails suitable for mountain biking. Many of the trails are used by cattle so it was not purpose built for biking, that said there are some decent sections and evidence that people have tried to create a proper cycling trail. Despite this it is pretty overgrown and so only worthwhile if you happen to be in the area with a mountain bike and some spare time.

Rest assured you won’t be bumping into anyone else on the trail so bring some spares and enough drinking water, the trails can be confusing too as they criss-cross throughout the area meaning there is a good chance of getting lost. The hill is small enough that eventually you will stumble across a road if you do. The views from the top of the hill make it worthwhile checking it out and perhaps over time the cycling trail will become a more defined loop for cyclists in which case would be a worthwhile trip from Bangkok.
