Trip sounds epic, how many days?

I was in phrae / chiang Rai / Nan for 5 days in December - brilliant.

Was there much to see at Tak / Mae Sot? Worth a look?

Thanks

We took our time and stayed at a floating resort on the large lake ( Sinakharin ) north of Kanchanaburi. Beautiful roads. It took 6 days to Chiang Mai. We stayed 6 days there and spent another 10 days on the rest.

Tak was ok. We drove actually a road that got us a little north of Mae Sot ( 1175 ). Amazing road ( even with Scooters ???? )

We stayed for the night in Tha Song Yang.

We have to get back to Nan again. So many more roads to discover.

I use the Kurviger App for touring. You can select what kind of roads it should suggest and sometimes you are surprised what routes you will find.

They have a website too where you can create routes and export them to other formats.

As for Touring with whatever you have: Anything is possible and just having a Scooter shouldn’t stop you from Touring. 

I used to ride BMW GS and liked it. Now I ride a Aerox 155 and like it too. Different rinding, but fun nonetheless.

I did the Mae Hong Song Loop on a rented NMax 155 and it was a blast. 

Last trip i did was in January from Hua Hin, Kanchanaburi, Ban Rai, Tak, Mae Sot, Mae Sariang, Chiang Mai, Phrao, Chiang Rai, Nan, Uttaradit, Sukhothai, Ban Rai, Kanchanaburi, Hua Hin.

3150km on a Scooter.

Beginning of March it’s going down to Malaysia.

I plan all the routes with Kurviger.
