Solo motorcycle road trip on Northern Thailand: Part 1

I’ve always wanted to do the northern Thailand loop after completing MHS road trip some time back. I wished to ride up there from Singapore directly but it requires more time and currently I’ve sold off all my motorbikes. Luckily renting a bike in Chiang Mai is easy so there was no excuse. Also Thailand opened travel without the need for quarantine from May 2022 and I need to clear some leave from work; this happened to be the perfect opportunity to go.

Planning the route was challenging as google maps doesn’t allow for more than 10 waypoints in total. I also wanted to balance the distance rode each day, so it took a couple of iterations to somewhat decide on the below. Found this link to combine multiple waypoints for route planning: https://www.morethan10.com/home/en

Even after all that, the itinerary was not confirmed, thus I only booked for the Chiang Mai accommodation on the first day and reckoned I will play by ear for the rest of the trip, depending on where I was.

Route of the planned loop

After much research on the web, the trip will be roughly as follows;

Day 1: Chiang Mai -> Aruno Thai -> Doi Ang Khang -> Fang -> Chiang Rai

Day 2: Chiang Rai -> Mae Salong -> Doi Tung -> R 1149 -> Mae Sai -> Golden Triangle -> Chiang Khong -> Phu Chi Fa

Day 3: Phu Chi Fa -> Route 1148 -> Pua -> Bo Kluea (R1081) -> Nan

Day 4: Nan -> Lampang -> Chiang Mai

Then a 3 day stay at Lexis Hibiscus, a hotel in Malaysia. I choose to only cover the glamping trip because I have WAY too many good things to say about Lexis. Let us begin.

Mae Hon Soon loop: Day 1

The famous Mae Hon Soon loop in Thailand that was in the checklist of many motorcycle touring enthusiasts. Chris was the one that suggested this for our yearly trip. Since its a motorcycle trip I didn’t need to think twice. While I wanted to ride there from Singapore, at least two weeks of leave is needed and time will be tight. Also riding up there in my Burgman 200 might take awhile. Thus we decided to fly there instead and rent a bike for our adventure.
