    Photos: Giant Kilometre markers



    It looks like there's a new fashion tourist attraction being promoted around the North / the country: Giant Road or Kms Markers.
    So why not build up a photo collection of the signs & are bikes.

    Been there & done that....post your photos here

    To get the ball rolling. Here's the first one & a new? one from Doi Mae Salong

    Funny the fashion of building pseudo "Lak Kilo" of all sizes (not all "giant"). Maybe not all are attractions, but at least obvious markers and distances reminders


    Restaurant in Fang, rte 107




    Restaurant near Mae Kachan, rte 118




    Two milestones - there are actually 3 - in Chiang Khong. And I even did not post the old "mini" from "Fai Coffee Shop"

    I really was smiling on the PCX. There is a new pink kilometre marker going south just before leaving MaeChan. I would take a photo and show you it but don't know how.

    A truly happy rider is one who can enjoy the scenery along a detour.
