All presenters have been secured for Saturday night multi-media shows, as have sponsors for the 1 hour of free Heineken draft during the "Welcome" Reception Friday evening from 18:00-19:00. Reminder: all events are free but attendees wanting to feast on the "best BBQ in Chiang Mai" (200THB) on Saturday night must make a reservation with the Rider's Corner (0870481787, 0856188914 or email riders.corner.cnx@gmail.com). This is a special discount price for HU Mini-Meeting attendees.

Registrations for the HU Meeting have been flowing in from around the world. One serious motorcycle traveler from Australia advised us he was traveling from Dili on a "Postie Bike," a Honda CT110. A media representative from a global motorcycle publication asked that a chair be reserved for he and his photographer, and was told all seating, both nights, is on a "first come, first serve" basis. Possibly bring your own chair because last year over 100 attended and seating/standing overflowed into the parking area in front of the Rider's Corner both evenings.

Caught the below NEWS RELEASE in Thailand media and out on the Net. It seems a wildly diverse group ranging from serious travelers to key people in The Golden Triangle are vectoring in to The Rider's Corner January 10-11. Spotted doing reconnaissance at The Rider's Corner was well-known Bangkok based author Christopher G. Moore. His Vincent Calvino series is now in pre-production phase for a major film.


The 8th Horizons Unlimited Thailand Traveller's Meeting has been announced for January 10 & 11, 2014. Motorbike adventurers, overlanders and bicycle travellers will again convene at the Rider's Corner Inn and Restaurant in Chiang Mai, Thailand for a Welcome reception January 10 and BBQ/Mini-Meeting January 11.

Currently travellers and adventure travel dreamers from the following countries have indicated attendance: Iceland, Germany, Australia, France, Sweden, America, Switzerland, Great Britain, Brazil, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Denmark, Canada, Spain and Austria.

At the 2013 event there were over 100 adventure seekers in attendance. The meeting is free, but register through Horizons Unlimited “Events” registration form to confirm attendance and receive meeting updates. The BBQ Saturday night before the multi-media presentations and evening activities is 200 THB and requires reservations with the Rider's Corner Rider's Corner Bar & Restaurant - Chiang Mai Bikers Hotel Thailand.

The Official Agenda and full Meeting Schedule for the 8th Annual Horizons Unlimited Traveller's Mini-Meeting are under "Events” at www.horizonsunlimited.com.

Hi Sun Chaser,

we will be coming on friday and leaving on sat afternoon.

cya soon!

Hello Singapore Dream Couple:

We look forward to seeing you again. The attendees at 2013 Meeting very much enjoyed your impromptu slide show. Many are returning again in 2014 like yourselves.

The German motorcycle adventure lady you met on the train to Bangkok several years ago as you were starting your 'round the world tour will be back, as will be your host from San Francisco and your Engine Transplant helper from Texas!

As always, the event promises to deliver far more wild adventures than we can describe in words.

See you January 10!

I made a massive mistake and ended up backpacking in the south islands. I'm currently on my way to Koh Tao to do scuba diving. I'll probably be in Chiang mai in early new year.

Can someone give me directions ? Not sure if I'm flying or busing it in..

Back packing sucks...
