Hi Fellas,
Getting to the nitty gritty of the planning now.
We leave Chiang Mai early early AM.. Sunrise.
Google Maps shows 3 routes will similar timings to arrive at Chiang Khong from Chiang Rai. (From experience, these timings can be a fair way off)
What route would you seasoned riders recommend?
We are looking to get to the border as early as possible to cross over and start the ride in Laos.
Suggest routes from Google are
1.
1 hour 57 mins
Phahon Yothin/Route 1, Route 1016 and Route 1129
118 km
2.
1 hour 59 mins
Route 1152 and Route 1020
111 km
3.
2 hours 3 mins
Route 1173 and Route 1174
105 km
Thanks
Brian
