Provinces in Northern Thailand around Chiang Mai open for travellers?

[maeff123]

Dear all,

 

I planned a motorcycle tour around the Golden Triangle Loop: Chiang Mai -> Phayao -> Chiang Rai -> Phu Chi Fah -> Chiang Khong -> Chiang Saen -> Doi Thung -> Doi Mae Salong -> Tha Thon -> Doi Ankhang -> Chiang Dao -> Chiang Mai.

 

Question: Are the provinces/cities open or not?

 

Today I read that many provinces around Chiang Mai are just planned to open but not open now for travellers?
<<<< Link to Bangkok Post removed as per forum rules >>>>

Anybody informed about the current situation? Would this trip be possible now or just after the opening (planned around Songkran or later)?

 

Thanks!

I don't think any areas are closed, or have been for very long time, if they ever were.  Surely nothing that would stop you from traveling around.

I don't think you'll have any issues, except for the fact you're planning to tour during the HOT season.  We had some great touring weather earlier this year, but it's gonna be a bit warmer around Songkran.????

 

Plan and gear up with the weather in mind.
