Soft Nut Bike Tour of Burma: Exploring the less travelled roads of Myanmar

The Soft Nut Bike Tour of Burma was led by our friend Chris. Boundless resourcefulness and a refusal to accept defeat are just two of his many skills. Snapped chains, grinding gears and punctures are fixed in a flash and if it all gets too much for our less than youthful bodies, he’ll conjure up a truck or train to get us to the next outpost of civilisation.

This book describes a ten-day tour of the less travelled area of Southern Myanmar. It’s called the Soft Nut Tour because there was also a Hard Nut one which required a level of fitness and fortitude which we no longer possessed – if we ever did.

From Brisbane to Burma via Bangkok. Two diaries were kept. Two very different experiences. Hopefully insightful. Occasionally irreverent. You’ll enjoy ‘Soft Nut’ if you like visiting lesser known parts of the world, like (or don’t like) group travel, and appreciate the slower-paced form of transport that cycling affords. There’s also travel by train, tuk tuk, truck and all manner of water-craft.

Advance reviews

I’m still nervous every time they head off with Chris to these remote places. However, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Tracy and Les’ diary of the trip.
