Hoping to get some advice on the most comfortable (not the fastest) way of riding from Pattaya to Chiang Mai -  but avoiding Bangkok! (That is our main criteria.)

It doesn't matter if we take 3 or 4 days just as long as we can avoid the heavy traffic areas. We both ride Classic bikes where 80/90 ks is our most comfortable speed. We do not have prizes for 'first there'. We like to smell the roses.

Can't tell from Pattaya to BKK but :

 

Up north between Uttaradit / Phrae and Lampang road 11 is a must go ! then road 11 again lampang to Chiang Mai ! Plenty of fun in there.

How long do you think you can drive in one day ? Are you an experienced driver ? ever drove such long distrances in TH ?

 

For the "comfort" it depends, some would prefer to drive mostly on 2x2 separated lanes (at least you know no-one from the opposite side is gona overtake in your face), some prefer secondary roads ... not for me, between the savages U-TURNs / overtaking / crossing dogs / holes & bumps in the road can be real exhausting.
