Grand American Adventures is now part of Exodus Travels.
We will now be using the brand name of our award-winning sister company Exodus Travels.
Born and raised in Chiang Mai in Thailand’s north, Saowarit Aphiwatthanakul is one of Exodus Travels’ most experienced & revered cycling guides in Southeast Asia. Preferring to be called Rit for short, he has been expertly leading Exodus clients on two wheels since 2013. Previously he was a Buddhist monk for 12 years whilst also receiving his education.
With a curious nature and desire to explore life, he left the monkhood to work in Tourism; first becoming a cycling guide in his hometown of Chiang Mai, before venturing further afield to cycle and lead tours across Thailand and SE Asia. Consistently receiving wonderful feedback and admired for his gentle and kind nature, Rit is passionate about sharing his love and knowledge of Southeast Asian culture and connecting Exodus clients with locals and people from all walks of life along the way!
