Mae Wang Loop
165.2 kms return. Asphalt / dirt. See Map . Routes 108 – 1013 – 121 / 1096 – 108 / 10. A gem of a rider’s loop, being “nicer” and longer loop than the Samoeng loop, with a short rough dirt section. The Mae Wang loop really starts from Sanpathong, 18 kms S-W of Chiang Mai, & goes up the beautiful Mae Wang river valley, then goes west to Bo Kaew & Samoeng, then back into Chiang Mai via either route 1096 & Mae Rim or route 121 & 108 past the airport.
The Mae Wang loop has smaller elephant camps than in the Mae Sa valley, but it also has bamboo rafting, plus better scenery and more hill tribe villages than on the Samoeng loop.
You can easily spend all day on the Mae Wang Loop, the scenery, villages and photo opportunities are so great.
