Mae Hong Son loop 2022

[Ughetto]

Some call it the motorcyclists arcade
how many definitions could it have
the children's playroom
anyway
each of us interprets it in his own way and according to where he lives.
Anyway I always like it
and it is always pleasant to go along it.
Sometimes I remain glued in front of the TV or the PC like a vegetable
other times I feel the push like a call.
this and one of those times
where I need to feel alive.
The problem for me is almost always leaving, if I leave I don't stop,
But i'm not good with timetables and for this reason yesterday i left at 13.30 in the afternoon from chiang rai.
I tried to go in the direction of arunothai from the town near doi ankhang but for several months it was still closed so I had to go back a few kilometers and pass the road where c and the military

WhileI was driving I was more than convinced that I would have arrived in pai but the cold the dirt road and why not also the fear of animals at night and of humans meant that at 19.30 in the evening I decided to stop in wiang heng more exactly in piang luang

 

[Eoin Christie]

Excellent, Ughetto. You are right - The hardest part is stepping out the door.

 

[DavidFL]

Great shot. What a fantastic day & weather for riding.

 

[DavidFL]

Excellent, Ughetto. You are right - The hardest part is stepping out the door.

Thats how I felt in Cnx with all the bloody traffic & why I moved to Chiang Khong.
You never think twice now. Just get on your bike & take off, no matter what the time of day.

Wiang heng to Pai

Road not easy today, with the scooter in 2 people a few weeks ago it was easier because the ground dried up further and created in some points a layer similar to the desert

 

[Ughetto]

Wiang Heng to Pai today

 

[Ughetto]

From Pai to Mae Hong Son today
I thought about stopping in Pai
but I needed to ride the bike in the arcade.

 

[DavidFL]

Excellent. Love to see how you potter along taking photos. That is damn useful for everyone, especially the Wiang Haeng - Pai section, that so many people ask about. Was it much worse than in the photos? I've hearing reports of ruts & deep dust already?

Exactly where did you stay in Piang Luang?

 

[Ughetto]

Exactly where did you stay in Piang Luang?

In the main street opposite to the entrance of the school not far away from 7 eleven.
They have also restaurant
In the past was always full the restaurant but now less people.
The owner make off road and say to me next time will teach to me new road around there.
Him have Honda 300 cc. Crf L
and spend 36.000 baht for fix like in a picture.
If sameone make off road can contact him.

Today I drive without glove for make picture for you
Now I relax 3 4 days here
This what I eat in the restaurant of hotel in piang luang 360 thai baht but I drink only coke

And this they offer to me for free
They say Chinese Yunnan style

The fhoto I have much more
I no put all because I scare people boring
The problem are only in same point cloose to Pai but enalfh for make me cloose to follow down 2 time and time number 3 in a paved road when I a sharp I open speed and my bike weel on the back escape.
When I choise fhoto in my telefhone
I cannot see very well small pic
And soo can happen I miss
and also because I make so many fhoto that in same point I must to be concentrate because I no have weel for off road and my bike is not the best because is only for light off road.
What I can say is a simple road this one but can became complicated in a particular condition.
I meet in the past also street bike in this street
With scooter is easy drive slowly
My bike is very tall I do it with passenger and I feel more confortable may be because I touch better with my legs the street if I need to put down one leg.

Curiosity
In Mae Hong son no water in the lake
They do same job

The land look like sand can see very weel from my shoes
Normally not do like this....

[Ughetto]

[Ughetto]

Baan rak tai

Look very sad all the old building in the square not exist anymore

 

[Ughetto]

The phone battery is abandoning me I did not want to invest 1500 thai baht in a new one and most likely it will no longer be possible to continue the tread so I greet you with the latest musical success of the Karen tribe that is depopulating in almost all the world hit parades

The story when I have time

Ahhh, Your bike suffers the same disease as mine - Narcolepsy, where it suddenly falls asleep without warning. I blame localised high-gravity zones, combined with Sunspot activity...
