Its the sort of thing you do when you spend a week in a town that shuts at 9.pm, with no telly and you finished all the paperbacks......

You little beauty.
Love it, but why call it the "Descent From Doi Phukha," as it looks like going up from the Pua side, although I don't think you quite reach Landaw & The Chomphu Phukha Tree, no?
Love the cool music too.
One of the problems doing Doi Phukha with R1256 is you nearly always start from the west Pua side & so in the morning you are riding east into the sun, meaning all the good views & light are behind you away from the sun. I guess you could sleep in Bo Klua View Resort

but it strikes me as being a bit too quiet out there for a city night life man like myself.
The other option would be to start after midday from Pua, & quickly do the short (south) Doi Phukha loop I guess.
What do you think is best for photography on Doi Phukha?
Now into Nan city. It does not close down after 9PM, there is the Veerachon Pub & Restaurant down on the river by the prison, then the Channel X disco & karaoke lounge set up goes until l-a-t-e; plus some sleazy late night bars out on highway by the airport.
But I also seem to fondly recall closing down the Full Moon / Duan Phen Pub & Restaurant at 1.00AM when I was there a couple of weeks ago. Check it out. I was impressed.
