Khon Khun Khao
There are 8 rooms on site @ 1,000 baht a room, with breakfast, but the brekky is only Thai style.
The owner has a guesthouse – homestay down the soi across the street, 200 metres away.
The rooms here are 550 baht. These rooms are aircon & well furnished, but with external bathrooms and toilets. The hot water bathrooms and western toilets are on the same deck & only metres away from the rooms.

Please yourself where you stay and / or how you get to Wiang Sa.

Getting to / from Wiang Sa

If you’re coming to / from the West
you could use the Khun Satan road R1216

1216, a hidden Pearl in Nan?

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Go To Nan

A Blast to Nan on the Evil Twin - Thanks Ernothai!

Nan Loop - November 2010

& once upon a time on the Khun Satan road R1216 Khun Satan The Mlabri

Another option is to come in from R1091 - 4002 - 3046 - 4004 - 101 - 1026
My Gtr Dinner Trip - Chiang Khong - Na Noi Return

You could also have a go at R4010
4010 - Not For The Faint Of Heart....
but take care in the wet with moss on the concrete that is in the shade.

From the east & south there are also multiple options
R1162 – R1243
R4020 – R1243

Dinner & drinks will be at the Khon Khun Khao
The restaurant & deck here is an excellent venue.

Once we know firm numbers we could organise a buffet of some sort.
The owner Khun Tone is a musician / guitarist & will also entertain us on the night.
Due to the “virus plandemic” organizing a group of bikers for dinner & drinks in small up country towns where we are not known, has become an issue. So for any small dinners where we are not known, it will be better to have them on site at a hotel or resort.

Some local GTR Wiang Sa attractions
Wiang Sa - Nan - Wandering Around

Phra Put Taroupmat Yaiteesut Nailok. The World's Biggest Teak Wood Buddha.

Wiang Sa Bicycle Museum
I would suggest that Thursday morning visit the bicycle museum.
It is located behind the Shell gas station in Wiang Sa.
Admission is free, but you riders could fuel up before there before starting the return journeys.


Let's rock Wiang Sa for a night.
The town is a beautiful classic.

Mike Gagne was missed, due a tumble a few days earlier near Wiang Haeng, but he was not forgotten.
We hope you get well soon.

It was a great night. A very wet ride in from Nan to Wiang Sa, including a bow wave from a pickup that just creamed David. And then a great ride back down the 1091 to Phayao. Looking forward to the next!
