We also both have long term Thai partners whom are licenced by The Tourist Authority of Thailand as official Tour Guides, thus keeping everything legal and above board. Through them we have completely immersed ourselves in the native cuisine, language and culture which totally enhances your time with us. We also benefit from the availability of a third British rider and his Thai wife guide who bring another 15+ years of Thailand riding experience to the company.

You’ll also notice that our tour offerings are somewhat limited if you put us up against our competitors in the region. We see this as an advantage as we have chosen to specialise and get to know Thailand, Laos and Myanmar extensively rather than spread ourselves thinly in the quest for growth by sub-contracting out tours and therefore losing the opporunity to oversee the quality being delivered. “Small is beautiful” as the saying goes. It also means that we can react quickly to requests without waiting for a reaction from a chain of command or dismissing it as it’s not on our regular tour menu.

There is no fairer way to experience these interests than spring on a bike and ride along with a bike tour guide for a tremendous biking journey ⭐

Motorbiking through Thailand's heart on less traveled roads creates surviving memories 🏅 Best of all, motorcyclists can celebrate vacations along the road and tasty local delights that divide them. Read on to learn about the top 10 Thailand motorcycle tour trips you must try.

#10 Exploring Samoeng/Mae Sa

You must try exploring the Samoeng with a motorcycle 🥸 Barely north of Chiang Mai , the Samoeng Loop is the most outstanding day ride in north ern Thailand, putting up with travelers through the rural Thai countryside, upholding caves, sanctuaries, elephant farms, and rice fields. The winding road circles the Doi Suthep Mountain, almost west of Chiang Mai, giving quite a variety of trekking and off-road motorcycle paths ⭐

The Samoeng Loop carries riders from Mae Rim to the attractive Mae Sa Valley 🏅 Do note that this is a mountainous ride, so you want a 125cc or above motorbike. In Mae Sa, you can have a tour around the elephant camp, Queen Sirikit Botanical Gardens, and Mae Sa Waterfall 🏆

#9 Sunset at Phayao

Phayao in Chiang Mai is a beautiful town beside a great lake, and it provides an incredible ride over tons of mountains ⭐ While the road Wang Nua-Phayao has a gorgeous forest cover and elegant beautiful sceneries of the Phayao Lake, Wat Si Khom Kham by the lake in Phayao also has some shocking monuments of life in Buddhist perdition to amaze the farang, and I highly recommend checking it 🏆

A night in Phayao is also delightful. There are many cafes beside the lake to eat, drink, and attend to the sunset in a comfortable environment, flaming through the rice paddies around Phrao 🏅 I suggest the Doi Farang Resort and try a surprisingly good coffee. You may try a few whiskeys and a dish of mouth-searingly spicy food that shortly puts the world to rights; then you can eventually relax as the sun falls behind the mountains and twilight swiftly falls over ⭐

Looking back on your travel life, the colors will clasp with you immensely. The forests' muted greens and browns give way to the glittering green flicker of rice paddies prepared for harvest 🥸 Foggy gray daylight mist burning off to deep blue afternoon skies, burning orange sun declining below the horizon, departing only the light of thousands of stars to brighten the black topography. This makes Phayao in 9th place on my list of top 10 Thailand motorcycle tours you must try 🏆

#8 Ride through the Nan Tour

Beginning in Chiang Mai, the Nan Loop grabs riders through some of Thailand’s most incredible mountain panoramas to Nan on Highway 1148, said to be one of the top 10 best biking roads in the world 🏅 You will pass by the Than Thong Waterfall and the Mae Kachan hot spring before attaining the lakeside town of Phayao, which is worth a day or two to explore its temples, the most remarkable of which being Wat Analayo. Phu Lang Kha National Park  in the Phayao province is also worth visiting 🥸

In Nan, you should tour the beautiful Wat Phra That Khao Noi hilltop temple 🥸 From here, the road runs through the whirling highlands of the province to Phrae, where you can get a wooden ferry to cross the Sirikit Dam, the biggest earth dam in Thailand. Phrae is an elegant town that beholds limited tourists to other parts of the country ⭐ This makes it ideal to have a genuine flavor of original Thailand.

From Phrae, you will ride along with the picturesque rice fields to Den Chai, then through mountain sight to Lampang, where you can travel to the elephant conservation center and the world’s first elephant hospital. You will also pass by national parks and rice fields on your way back to Chiang Mai 🏅

#7 Highlands of Kanchanaburi

Further south and in a varied range of highlands, Kanchanaburi has become a famous weekend destination for locals of Bangkok wanting a calm, natural opportunity to visit their exciting city 🏅

Among the weekenders who gather at the riverside resorts and national parks of one of the country’s largest western provinces are bikers wanting a variety of struggling hill riding and sufficient high-end settlements 🏆 The most prominent ride is the Nang Prue – Si Sawat loop, covering 300 kilometers on rural roads running through farmland, dense jungle, and old-growth forest 🥸

Hours of tight turns, waterfall cavity stops, and mountaintop scenery of the Srinagarind reservoir are just some of the intentions that locals rate this route among the best in the country 🏅 Operators in Bangkok recommend tours that gain in both the historical sights, like the world-famous Bridge on the River Kwai , hot springs, and the well-known caves and waterfalls of the area ⭐

This area is known for its prominent bridge over the River Kwai and world-class waterfalls. But this vast, hilly area is so much more than that 🥸 Bordering Myanmar; this charming tropical jungle nature is impressive. With flooded lowland valleys and awe-inspiring mountain backdrops, this area of Thailand has been the emphasis of countless Hollywood movies and for a lovely purpose. It is astonishing 🏆

#6 Exploring South Thailand

Phuket Island is recognized as the "Pearl of the Andaman" for its beaches and panoramic limestone karsts ⭐ Still; it is also a considerable core to explore the west coast on two wheels . For something varied, there are overnight trips from the tropical island to Ra nong City 300 kilometers off on Harley-Davidson 🏅

The ride blends the pleasures of riding along beach roads with the challenge of assuming twisties through the jungle-covered limestone hills that comprise the coastal region. 600 kilometers later, with a night in a four-star resort to rest sore muscles from guiding a huge bike all day 🥸

As the borders of Thailand become less restrictive, multi-country motorcycle tours from Thailand will broaden to explore once-prohibited areas 🏅 Bikers know that the journey is as vital as the destination in Thailand. So, exploring South Thailand holds 6th place in my list of top 10 must-visit motorcycle tour trips in Thailand ⭐

#5 Adventure at Sukhothai

This quick and smooth motorcycle adventure will bring you to the most beautiful countryside in the northern part of Central Thailand ⭐ The Sukhothai Loop will not only take you to visit the old history of Thailand in Sukhothai, but you may also avert any city traffic and uncover the most impressive windy and back roads 🏆

For a particular but stunning period, the walled city of Sukhothai presided as the capital of Thailand, generating the heritage of a united nation of Thai people and an incredible cultural heritage 🏅 Now a massive assembly of gorgeous ruins, the Old City has been conserved as Sukhothai Historical Park, one of Thailand's most famous temptations 🥸

Attending the border with Myanmar, you sense as if you're there. Different faces and tribal dress make you understand that this is the road-less-traveled 🥸 This is the "long way round" to this most distinguished of Thai cities. Still, you'll be delighted to have experienced roads and scenery most people will never get the chance to see 🏅

So it's worth visiting there on a motorcycle tour. The grounds are beautiful, well-maintained, and very well-renovated ⭐ Make sure you visit the northern region to see the giant Buddha. I found renting a motorcycle from New Sukhothai to the park the most inexpensive and straightforward option. Be sure to eat outside the main door at the small food perspectives populated by Thais. The cards are in Thai, so point and order is so good. The night markets in New and Old Sukhothai on the main drags are worth checking out. The fruit is so reasonable and good 🏆

#4 Endless Pleasure in Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok)

Pleasure is bike riding in  Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (Bangkok) with the wind in your hair and friendly smiles from passers-by all through 🥸 This three-hour Bangkok Classical Bicycle Tour brings bikers through Chinatown , rushing markets, and fascinating alleyways. Look out for extraordinary shophouses trading local commodities and temples along the narrow streets 🏅

Additionally, bikers cross the Chao Phraya River via the pedestrian ferry and pedal across the residential communities of Thonburi while appreciating panoramic cityscapes 🏅 Experience an original tour of Bangkok like never before. Friendly and excellent for bike lovers, this tour endeavors into the heart of Bangkok and explores its glorious history  🏆

There's plenty to see and explore, from ancient buildings to current city arrangements, stunning works of architecture to historic ruins, vital markets to sleepy waterways 🥸 Riders are provided a thorough justification of every interest from an expert guide. Best of all, the tour provides a closer peek into the daily lives of the local societies and how they prosper in the city ⭐

#3 Cultural Tour in Ayutthaya

Take the road less traveled when you meet the three-hour sunset ride bike trip at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ayutthaya . Begin your tour with a ferry ride across the Pa Sak River and follow to the famous Chao Phrom Market 🏅 Next, head to Chankasem Palace, visit an ancient prison and Hua Ro Market before entering Bang Ian Night Market. At sunset, you can proceed to Wat Mahathat, one of the most outstanding temple networks in Ayutthaya Historical Park ⭐

Biking by night offers extraordinary views of the lighted-up ancient capital with historical ruins and temples. And ultimately, you can end in the temple with a large sitting Buddha, the biggest in Ayutthaya 🥸 In addition to enjoying the history of Ayutthaya City and the historical park; you can also begin with a tour of the ruins of Pom Phet on the old city walls, attended by riding through local neighborhoods past local street sellers to test unique Thai delights.

#2 Enjoy the Chiang Rai Tour

One of the most picturesque rides in the country, the Chiang Rai Loop holds 2nd place in my list of top 10 motorcycle tour trips in Thailand 🏅 Just north of Chiang Mai, you can stop at the Mae Sa Elephant Camp, where you can see elephants making their daily habits, from washing and eating to painting, dancing, and playing football 🥸

From Mae Sa, you may drive on a hilly road to Tha Ton, overlooked by the dramatic Wat Tha Ton temple, located close to the border with Myanmar on top of a hill that grants incredible scenic views. While here, you can also visit the long-necked Karen Tribe Village ⭐ The journey continues on rural roads, by mountains and hot springs, towards Doi Mae Salong, where Chinese mountain tea farmers live. The locals here are ethnically Chinese, and these lands almost feel like Thailand. You will head towards Mae Sai, the northernmost point of Thailand, where you may visit Wat Tham Pla and get the opportunity to see some wild monkeys up close 🏆

You can quickly arrive at the Golden Triangle from here, where three borders meet: Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. Here, you can hold a long-tail boat and cross into Laos to visit some villages . No visa is expected 🏆 From the Golden Triangle, Highway 1048 will carry you to Chiang Rai, which is best known to be one of the most refined rides in Thailand. Chiang Rai may be quieter than Chiang Mai, but it is no less thrilling. The primary temptation here is Wat Rong Khun. Better known as the White Temple, it is one of the top 10 wonder temples globally ⭐

Some incredible off-road trips are beginning in Chiang Rai that are worth a few more days to explore for adventure lovers 🏅 A zigzag/snake-like mountain road will take you back to Chiang Mai.

#1 Mae Hong Son Motorcycle Tour Trip

The topmost Thailand motorcycle tour that you must visit is a trip to Mae Hong Son. Thailand’s incredibly prominent road trip assumes riders through the more fantastic and extremely panoramic hilly region of the Mae Hong Son province 🏆 The opening point for this meandering ride is the large tourist hub of Chiang Mai. From here, you may head west on an epic journey to explore northern Thailand's distinct landscape and rugged nature, riding on narrow paths to Pai and back, adding 1,864 curves! ⭐

You can pass by hill tribe villages, Buddhist temples, caves, and waterfalls, so set aside some additional time to visit as much as you can 🥸 On your way to Mae Sariang, you can also pass by the Doi Inthanon National Park , and, if you like, you can even make a short detour and ride to the top of the Doi Inthanon Mountain, the highest peak in Thailand. Also known as the ‘Roof of Thailand,’ the 2,565-meter tall Doi Inthanon is part of the Himalayan mountain range 🏅

Going from Chiang Mai to Pai can be challenging as it is one of the most treacherous in Thailand, with twists and turns on narrow roads carved into the mountains ⭐ You can take on the Mae Hong Son Loop clockwise or counterclockwise, but you should be advised that this ride is not for new motorcyclists 🥸

Those riding in Thailand for the first time are advised to do the loop in a clockwise direction, stopping at Mae Sariang first 🏆 Make sure your motorbike is powerful enough before attempting the challenge; a semi-automatic scooter or a larger motorcycle should do the trick 🏅

• Be careful on Thai roads.
• Carry waterproofs if you’re riding in the monsoon season. The rain is torrential.
• You don’t need to book accommodation in advance, but remember that it can get busy in the hotter months.
• Carry your International Driver’s Permit and Thai motorcycle insurance at all times.
• Get a Thai SIM card on your phone just in case of emergencies.

If you plan to take a tour around Thailand on a motorcycle and fulfill your wildest dreams, then make sure not to miss any of the mentioned and recommended top 10 must-visit motorcycle tour trips 🏆 I hope you enjoy them and share extraordinary stories with your friends ⭐

This is against the law, and if something goes wrong, it could lead to fines, penalties, or even jail time. Before renting and driving a scooter in Thailand, you should get the right license or permit to make sure you are safe and following the law.

Do you have to wear a helmet in Thailand?

Yes, if you ride a motorcycle or scooter in Thailand, you must wear a helmet. Both the driver and the passenger must wear a helmet that meets the Thai government’s safety standards. This rule is for both locals and foreigners, and breaking it can lead to fines and other legal consequences. Also, helmets should be properly fastened and fit snugly to offer the most protection in case of an accident. Putting on a helmet is one of the most important safety measures you can take when riding a motorcycle or scooter in Thailand.

What driving license do I need in Thailand?

In addition to your license from your home country, you need a valid Thai driver’s license or an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive legally in Thailand. If you plan to stay in Thailand for a long time, you need to get a Thai license. You can do this by converting your foreign license or by taking a written and driving test. Also, you need a separate motorcycle license to ride a motorcycle or scooter. You can get this license by taking a written test and a driving test. If you are driving in Thailand, you should always have your license and any other necessary documents with you.

Can foreigners buy motorbikes in Thailand?

Yes, people from outside Thailand can buy motorbikes there. To register the car, they must, however, show a valid passport and proof of a Thai address. Foreigners are also not allowed to own land in Thailand, so the property where the motorbike is kept will probably be rented or leased. Before buying a motorcycle in Thailand, you should do some research and follow the right legal steps.

Do I need an international driving permit in Thailand?

An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not required to drive in Thailand, but it is recommended to carry one along with your home country license. It serves as an official translation of your license and can be useful if you encounter language barriers or if local officials request it.

Can I get a Thai driving Licence on a tourist visa?

Yes, a tourist visa can be used to get a Thai driver’s license. To get a Thai license, tourists can either convert their foreign license or take a written driving test. But you should check the latest rules and requirements before you start, because they can change at any time.

Are electric scooters legal in Thailand?

Yes, you can use an electric scooter in Thailand. They are the same as regular scooters and motorcycles, so the same rules about getting a license and registering them apply. It is suggested that you wear a helmet and follow the rules of the road in your area.

The beauty of northern thailand.

"Over 2,000 Curves: From day one, I was laughing in my helmet. Highway 1095 is just too good for words. Uphill, downhill, switch backs, and sweepers all snaking in and out of the jungle canopy. Free-for-all passing that will put hair on swimsuit model’s chest. The road seems to go on forever, one grand prix sector after another. The higher elevation sections offer panoramic vistas, while the valleys are lined with jagged sandstone columns ripping holes in the dense forest growth below. I was torn between pushing the pace or enjoying the scenery."

-Quoted from a former guest

The magic of Thailand: the people, the landscape, the food!

People from all around the world are drawn to Northern Thailand because of its majestic scenery. The area provides many adventures from outdoor excursions to cultural attractions and experiences

Northern Thailand is surrounded by the tallest mountains in Thailand, making it cooler than the rest of the country.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Don’t take our word for it, our customers speak for us.

Giles and his team hit the spot. I was looking for a near impossible adventure in Sanclaburi, not only did Motorbike Madness make it happen, they took me to places even I’d never heard of and tested my abilities to the max. No detail was missed from the prepping of the bike to the meticulous itinerary. I was always in the loop. Thank you so much to all !

Adrian Lambert

What an amazing experience, I’m Thai and think I know about my country. Motorbike Madness knows more than me I can say for sure. I think this company is world-class, very hard to find this level of professionalism in Thailand unfortunately. My staff never experienced anything like this before. We have annual team-building events, but this tour was on entirely another level. My staff were pushed very hard but at no time did they feel in danger. The tour guides were obviously very experienced. We will book again next year. Many Thanks.

Wattana Traidee

I feel so lucky that I chose Motorbike Madness as one of my tours whilst in Thailand. I tried a dirt bike tour in Cambodia and enjoyed it very much. I thought it was a very well-done tour, that was until Motorbike Madness. In Cambodia, we simply put on knee and arm pads, got on the bike, and got going. I was shocked at what a difference this tour was. I was firstly given a full safety brief and then kitted out with top-quality full off-road clothing, substantial gloves, and boots, full padded protection from head to toe. The bike was chosen specifically for my height and riding ability. We then spent 15 minutes on their custom onsite track where I gained valuable riding skills, and boy did I need them. The country road and scenery were incredible, every new turn was a sight to be remembered. I really didn’t think I could do it, but the staff were so helpful and encouraging that I amazed myself. Easily the best tour I did in Thailand. Truly professional.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Giles and his team at Motorcycle Madness. My family was blown away with the whole day. From start to finish we were looked after by guides who really knew their stuff. We were so impressed with the size of this tour, we had no idea the day was going to take us so far, and the scenery was spectacular from the top of Pattaya’s hills. But most impressive of all were the bikes, clothing, and equipment. It’s clear that years of constant refining have made this tour a near-perfect adventure. Five stars in all categories. Looking forward to another tour.

NEVER-SEEN BEFORE

THAILAND MOTORCYCLE TOUR

Move beyond the beaches and mainstream cities of Thailand. You’ll thank us!

Our Northern Thailand itinerary ensures a thrilling adventure around every turn

Take a sneak peek into our day-to-day journey, arrive in chiang mai.

Upon arrival to Chiang Mai International Airport transfer to centrally located hotel. At 3 PM transfer to Bike Tour Asia for a welcome briefing, answer any questions you might have and motorcycle hand over. Short ride back to your hotel. Overnight in Chiang Mai.

Chiang Mai – Nan

Once on your motorcycle you quickly leave Chiang Mai behind and start your ride in eastern direction towards Phayao. During most of the day you cruise one hilly roads, a great start to get familiar with riding in Thailand and your motorcycle. In Phayao, enjoy the ride through the villages and along the lake. Once you reach the other side of the lake, enjoy lunch by the lake shore. Continue your journey towards Nan on more provincial roads, low traffic density, enjoy the rural life as villages and rice field’s passes by. The last part of the day you are crossing a mountain range enjoying the curves and the remote roads. Overnight in Nan.

Nan – Chiang Rai

Leave Nan and make your way through the hinterland first north bond on the main road and soon on small back roads in south-eastern direction. This is another great motorcycle riding area. Great roads, endless bends, not much traffic, stunning scenery. Road taking you to the lunch restaurant is probably one of the best motorcycle roads in Thailand. Lunch at a local restaurant by another river bank. Your ride continues north-eastern direction. For the next hundred km or so you pass countless rice fields and fruit plantations and cruise through small farm villages bends through yet more beautiful landscapes. Just before reaching you hotel in Chiang Rai you will visit the remarkable Wat Rong Khun (White Temple) which is today recognized as one of the main attractions all over Thailand. Park in front of the temple. Take your time to explore this unique and fairly recently build temple. Your hotel is centrally located, plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Overnight in Chiang Rai.

Exploration Day at Chiang Rai

This is a rest day. Enjoy a healthy breakfast in the hotel and spend the day at the hotel pool or in a Spa. You may also take a walk exploring the town to visit some of the many markets and temples. A walk is likely needed after all the great riding hours. Overnight in Chiang Rai.

Chiang Rai – Golden Triangle – Thaton

From Chiang Rai, short ride to the mighty Mekong River at the legendary Golden Triangle where the three borders of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos meet. First stop is the view point at Wat Phrathat, from here you have the Golden Triangle in front of you. In the small but interesting local Opium Museum you can learn more about Khun Sa and the opium trade in the past. Leave the motorcycle at the museum and walk to the boat pier by the Mekong River. Here you swap your motorcycle for a boat and explore the river region. Taking a short break in Laos (no visa needed, only bring your passport) before returning to your motorcycle.

From the Golden Triangle, lunch at a local restaurant located on a rice field. Continue to Mae Sai, the most northern point of Thailand and one of the main border crossings to Myanmar. At Mae Sai, take a stroll and explore the busy border market. Typical this part of the world, most trade is done by people carrying goods cross the border. From Mae Sai ride up the mountains to Doi Tung where the former king’s mother spent her final years. There is also a beautiful botanic garden there. Be careful, the road is narrow and steep. Continue to Doi Mae Salong on yet more amazingly twisty mountainous roads. Doi Mae Salong is a Chinese settlement which was built by a division of the Chinese Nationalist Army that refused to surrender to Chinese communists after the Nationalist Kuomintang government was routed in 1949. Today the village still offers a native Chinese cuisine, lovely houses with flowers and countless tea plantations as far as the eyes can see.

The final part of today’s route will take you along gentle hills through rice paddies and farm villages. Follow the Kok River for a while before you turn left to your resort at Thaton. Enjoy a cold drink and stretch your legs by the pool. Enjoy dinner at the hotel restaurant and a night cap at the bar by the pond. Overnight in Thaton.

Thaton – Pai

Another great riding day is ahead of you. From the resort ride couple of kilometers to enjoy the splendid view from Wat Thaton over the valley, Kok river and the vicinity. Make the effort and visit inside the Wat. (It’s well worth taking of your riding boots.)

From Wat Thaton you follow the main road Nr. 107 and have a coffee break at the Hua Luk Royal Project. Lunch can be held at The Nest Resort with a beautiful view at the Limestone Mountains in the back.

At Mae Tang turn right on 1095 and cross the mountains to Pai. This is the beginning of the road to Mae Hong Son, famous for having 1864 bends of varying sharpness. Before you reach your hotel stop at an Elephant Camp near Pai, spend some time and feed the elephants. Once in Pai, stop at the PTT gas station and fill up your motorcycle, better to do in the afternoon, gas station is very busy in the morning. Enjoy the pool at the resort. After sunset stroll down along the walking street, taste food from the street food stalls or enjoy dinner at one of the many restaurants.

Pai is the hippie capital of South East Asia. It’s a town full of diversity and contradictions. There are back packers, tourists with suite cases, people who once came and never left. Mixed from all corners of the earth, all walks of life and age groups. This little town is full of bars with live music. Enjoy! Overnight in Pai.

Pai – Mae Hong Son

Today is a very scenic riding day. Even if the distance is not that much, there are plenty of mountains and switch backs to negotiate, don’t worry, you will need the full day. This is also the second part of the road famous for its 1864 bends of varying sharpness. You pass two mountains with 2 great scenic View Points en route. The journey takes you through some beautiful mountainous scenery. Around mid-day arrive Ban Rak Thai where you have lunch in one of the local Chinese restaurants by the little lake. They serve delicious Chinese specialties. Ban Rak Thai means literally “the Thai-loving village” built around a lake on the Myanmar border. About 800, mainly Chinese settled here after the communist takeover of China and some of the buildings have a distinctively Chinese appearance. After lunch continue to Mae Hong Son and up the hill to visit the Wat Phrathat Doi Kongmu. From here you have a great view over the city and its surroundings.

Next destination is the pier were you park your motorcycles. You can leave helmets, jackets etc at the ticket office. Enjoy a scenic boat ride on the Pai River for about 20 min to the Karen Long Neck village. The Karen, a tribal minority, historically lived in the hills on the Myanmar side of the border. Some of their women wear heavy brass rings around their necks, forearms, and shins. Many ideas regarding why the coils are worn have been suggested. Some have hypothesized that the rings protected women from becoming slaves by making them less attractive to other tribes. Another theory is that the coils originate from the desire to look more attractive. Why don’t you ask them and find out the real story. Return by boat to the pier and ride to the nearby Resort. Enjoy first a drink at the sunset bar overlooking the rice paddies. Overnight in Mae Hong Son.

Mae Hong Son – Chiang Mai

In the morning ride the Road 108 from Mae Hong Son to Khun Yuam. It is a great winding road with wide twists. In Khun Yuam visit the local War Museum. The Imperial Japanese Army troops were stationed in Khun Yuam during the construction of a highway intended to cross Burma to India. Tip: Ask the museum staff to show the video about the history. Next to the museum there is a an 7/11 store where you can get snacks, coffee etc. From Khun Yuam continue to Mae Chaem on Road 1088 and 1263 on nice twisty back roads. At Mae Chaem there is a little local restaurant, run by a French guy with his Thai wife. The food is great, both Tahi and Western, the deserts are the best in this part of the country, enjoy! Ride Road 1192 and turn left on Road 1009 up to the top of Doi Inthanon, which at 2,565 meters is the highest mountain in Thailand. Park your motorcycles and walk up to the absolute peak and the little museum.

Next stop is the Vachiratharn Waterfall – an impressive and powerful 80 m high waterfall. Continue on Road 1009 until reaching the intersection 108. The last 50 km or so, drive on Road 108 until reaching Bike Tour Asia service center were you end the ride.

Depart from Chiang Mai

With a head full of happy memories and a phonebook full of new friends, we say goodbye to Thailand.
