To round off the 1,000km mark I did another of my well travelled routes north on the 107 on the24th of April. Taking in breakfast at possibly my favourite breakfast ride stop, Chiang Dao Nest, continuing north on the 107 just a little until turning right onto the 1150 for the very enjoyable ride to Phrao for the final leg down another enjoyable road, the 1001.
Ready to go (again)
The dog stayed home.
As I always try to do, I avoided the main bulk of Mae Rim town centre by taking the canal road and rejoining the 107 at the Samoeng junction.
I do like it around Chiang Dao
And as I have said before, I do like breakfast at Chiang Dao Nest
Breakfast over, a short ride took me to the 1150.I like the 1150, I sort of regard it as a road of 2 halves with Phrao in the middle. The views are really nice BUT I didn't lie this mess I came across;
Why oh why do people spoil such a wonderful environment? They should be ashamed.
Onwards I got the usual smile from check point guy.
The 1001 seemed to just pass, it is really such an easy road with flowing bends but beware. I saw the recovery of 3 vehicles that can only have been 2 minivan overtaking a lorry on a blind bend hitting a poor car minding his own business on his side of the road.
Just 1 more things, I really would have likes a coffee along the 1001 but I didn't see any. Please let me know if you have places you recommend.
That was it, 230km that ride and the PCX ready for its first service.
Sorry, photos gone with revamp of services.

Haven't really developed a Phrao favourite as yet but there is time. Thanks for the encouragement.
