Hi fellow adventure riders,
I did a 2 day Motorcycle tour last year In North Thailand.
My Previous route was From Chiang Mai up the 107 coming off at the 1178 through the Pha Daeng National Park coming off at the 1340. Finally linking back up with the 107 onto 1089 staying at a resort in
Tambon Tha Ton, Amphoe Mae Ai
Then onto Chiang Rai, riding back down to Chiang Mai via HWY 1 then off the 118
I am going back in Jan 2018 for my 40th birthday and this time I am hiring a bigger bike for 4.5 days touring before I fly south to meet me wife.
I love riding country twisty roads, great scenary and maybe some tribes. Hopefully see some elephants next time
What I want to ask is. Look at my previous tour, if you only had one more chance to ride in North Thailand, what route would you do?
I have two routes in mind
1) Mae Hong Son loop Anti clock wise from Chiang Mai
Or
2) Nan province taking in the famous 1148 heading north coming near to Loas- take in the big dipper arrive in Chiang Rai before heading back to Chaing Mai.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks very much
Chris
