Looking for Thakek Loop motorbike rental in Laos but don’t know where to start? Style offers motorbike rentals between our three shops in Luang Prabang, Vientiane and Pakse. We offer one way motorbike rentals with helmets to work alongside your travel plans, supplemented with personalised guidance and customised routes to include more of the bits you want to see and less of the bits you don’t, to help create your ultimate motorbike adventure in Laos!

This is the standalone option for the Thakek Loop, however, it is also included in our one-way rental routes from Luang Prabang or Vientiane to Pakse – See *here* for more information

Take in all the rolling landscapes the Thakek loop has to offer as you ride from cave to cave around this unique 4-6 day route. Offering better road surfaces than the Northern routes, the Thakek loop gives you more chances to take in the scenery as you ride, weaving your way through limestone karsts and past the vast flooded forest – A huge lake created by a hydroelectric power station. There are some beautiful viewpoints to take in on this route, one of which (The Rock) features activities such as zip-lining through some spectacular scenery.
