Routes 1001, 1150 & 107. A much better big bike loop than the Samoeng loop, this is an excellent fast half day ride, with good scenery and beautiful forest between Phrao – Chiang Dao – Mae Taeng. It is best ridden in an anti-clockwise direction Chiang Mai – Phrao – Chiang Dao – Chiang Mai. Minimum 3 hrs fast nonstop ride. Ride nonstop to Phrao, and have a drink. Then ride across to Chiang Dao and take a break at the Krua Chiang Dao restaurant by the Shell gas station. Recommended as half day ride for a fast ride for sport / road bike riders, or take your time with recommended drink stops;
