1249 & 1340 Doi Ang Khang

[Clarky55]

What a great ride up and down from Doi Ang Khang.

As i had a day to have some fun and explore new routes for me between North of Chiang Rai down to Chiang Mai. I decided to have a look at the 1249. Excellent road and condition. First time ive seen a campsite in Thailand where i definitely wanted to try and camp there…amazing setting. Sorry should have taken more photos.
