Just came back from another tour in north Thailand , our last one was in 2018 .



The original plan was- laos- but the fuel shortage and the borders status confused us , so we switched to plan B – north Thailand .



Once again , I got all the support and knowledge from your posts at This forum .

So I wish to thank you all for your data base and posts.



Bikes and riders –

We rented the bikes from pop rider –Suzuki vstorm 650 , with 2 sideboxes.

The bikes was in perfect condition.



Ram (58) and eran (55)

Traveled in Thailand , for a few times , traveled together 2018 on the nan region .

my first trip in Thailand was on 1990 ,in fact , my first motorbike ride was from Chiang Mai to pai .

back then We rented the bike, and focused on staying on the bikes so hard we didn't even notice that we drove for more than an our against the traffic direction.

wat ban den – spectacular!!!

Riding the 3052 was great, narrow, twisty and lots of perfect spot for coffee .

And - 1095 – great as ever , for me, it's one of the beast roads .

Thanks to the nice lady on the songtau , who filmed me and "air drop" the picture while riding .

Day 5 – mae sariang -mae sot .







Says 6.7.8 – umphang – Thi Lo Su Waterfall



the roads very difficult - the 160 km to umphang took us almost the entire day.

We stayed at "tu ka su resort " for the full thai (who needs English ?) package of the Thi Lo Su Waterfall –​

The resort , the rafting and the all experience was perfect.

Excellent great stuff. Many thanks for the report. It is much appreciated.
It is a shame you didn't do Laos, because my advice to everyone is to do it asap, before the North it is overrun with Chinese cars & the annoying obnoxious drivers.
