Dear all
I'm new to this forum and will be riding up from M'sia on 16 May to Chiangmai and thereafter to MHS and ChiangRai. I'll be taking 16 days to complete the trip alone (cause no buddies to ride with) and be back home by 31 May.
I'll will look forward to vsit the Kafe in CNX to purchase the GT shirt and hope to meet some of the GT guys there.
Now I'm in the stage of planning the route and schedule. Mostly likely I will stay for a couple of days in CNX & MHS.
This trip will also depends on my bike (@T RD07) as it is still at M-Technic, SG as the new absorbers will be ready by this week.
Meanwhile, I will most appreciate if any of you can provide some useful tips or info to enable me to plan better for the trip.
Thanks.
Warmest regards

Aha, like your bike.
No trouble to meet up with you when you arrive or are in the area.
How many days do you think you will have in the North?
My suggested route would be left (west) at Tak, go to Mae Sot - Mae Sarieng - Mae Hong Son – Pai - Chiang Mai –Fang – Tha Ton - Doi Mae Salong - Doi Tung - Mae Sai - Golden Triangle - Chiang Saen - Chiang Khong - Phu Chi Fah - Chiang Kham - R1148 - Doi Phukha / Nan - then home. This should take in everything, but to do it all you might run out of time.
An alternative would be straight to Chiang Mai, meet up & then we could discuss a new master plan- straight north to the GT, then east along the Laos border to Nan, or back west for the Mae Hong Son loop & a run down the Burma border to Mae Sot / Tak & then home.
Most guys don't fit it all in the first time round & always plan to come back & do the rest. Some make it back, but most don't.
Whatever, keep in touch, we can meet up & look after you. Some of us might ride out & meet you somewhere for a ride.
Now if you're a good man you could twist Chan's arm & pick up my AT parts order (if they are not already on the way) & EMS them to me from Hatyai on the way through (no need to carry them all the way.) Do this & the GT Rider shirt is free.
See ya soon.

Thanks David, Ian & burnjr for the info & tips.
I've yet to finalise the exact date of arrival in CNX and the schedule of MHS & GT ride is still in the planning stage .
Nevertheless, I will post it once I've decided the schedule.
Looking forward to meet you guys there.
Warmest regards

Dear all
I'be riding to Northern Thailand tomorrow morning @ approx 6.30 a.m. from Ipoh, Perak. This time I 've a riding buddy with his wife on @T RD07 White.
Expected to reach CNX by 17th or 18th May as my journey depends on the overnight stops at Surat Thani (1 night) and Kanchaiburi (1 or 2 nights ) before reacvhing CNX.
Most probably will stay @ Jordanna Guest House (which I've not made any reservation yet) as it is next to the Kafe.
Looking forward to see you guys there.
Warmest regards.

Hi David
Thanks. Is it rainy season now in northern region? I thought it is pretty hot during this time as the wet season starts in June.
See you there mate.
Regards.

Aha. Looks like it's started early. e.g. Cyclone Nargis & supposedly more on the way in the next 4-5 days.

It's been raining almost daily here in Mae Sot for the last two weeks at least.
