If you take the 1345, east out of Chiang Kham, Phayao province, you are on a lovely loop through the Phusang NP, which curves round to the south and joins the 1148. I tried it a few days ago for the first time. Super stuff.
Lots of new tarmac. The road is on the GTR Golden Triangle loop map, going through Rom Yen and Pang Tham, then past a very impressive 1500m mountain. Virtually vertical sides to this mountain.
Wonderful scenery and no traffic.
You come to a junction where I turned right towards the 1148 on the 4029.
But the road to the left, to Bahn Nong Ha looks very interesting. Will have to check that out some time later.
This route goes well with doing the 1148, as the northern end of that great road is a little boring where it runs into Chiang Kham.
