Hello All and wishing you all well for 2019.
Have just returned from another foray into northern Thailand and still can’t find the 1082, for the second time.
To me it’s an alternative route from Nan to Phayao. In October we ventured left off the R1148 just outside of Tha Wang Pha and ended up at the end of the bitumen with a dirt track heading up a hill. We went past a national park and a hill tribe village on the top of a ridge before we ran out of road. A good road that stopped as abruptly as the white lines.
We came out and head north on the 1148 and there were no alternative roads off to the left.
So last week, we stopped on the same side road, just over abridge, a few kms down, which also had a decent paved road off the left. But after many conversations with the locals, we were convinced it didn’t go the Pong.
My map(Berndtson- Thailand north) shows it as a decent road, comes off the R1228, east of Pong.
Another thing I’m going to add to my check list is Thai language maps. Our English language maps mean jack to them. To have both open would lead to better outcomes.
Can anyone help out with the R1082, “the illusive.”
Cheers Wazza
