Life through the lens of a camera

After operating a camera for so long, I have taken countless photos on my different phones. Paired with stories and adventures, I’ve kept my photos which I’ve enjoyed looking at here. After ALL this time, I’m here to finally collate all of my best photos and make a gallery to commemorate my best shots.

To add on, not to flex, but these photos are all unedited, have fun reading!

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
