bignok Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Some say the road is very scenic. Others boring. What say you? Otherwise could cut thru Hot from Sukhothai. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prubangboy Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Mae Sot is a medium-good Mae-a Mayanmar mashup, the uniqueness of which is def overstated. Nice waterfall (zzzzz). A bit of the old teak left standing. Mae Sariang is just a poor village, prob the most under-achieving Mae. If one wanted to study indigenous Islam among tribal people, well, that prob would not be you. The Mae you want is Mae Hong Son. That's a Mae where you can kill 3 days. And see long neck people for free, drinking coffee. And then you could take your long-suffering GF to Pai, like she actually would prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't bother during smog season. One time over that side, smog was so bad, they closed MHS airport, as the could see the runway on approach and it's surrounded by hills. From the one wat on a hill, you could barely see it. On a better day ... such is TH, best during rainy season, and why we don't go north unless it is rainy season. Can't see a damn thing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting to and from is rather nice tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're too vain to put anyone on an ignore list, you couldn't handle the thought of people commenting about you without your knowledge.

KhunLA Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 And another thread becomes useless and handbags at the keyboard. TAKE NOTE: bignok didn't start the silliness, and I notice, that he rarely does. Let that one sink in, don't hurt your F'g selves. Why so many are on my ignore list. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soi3eddie Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I rode the Mae Sot to Mae Sariang route on my ADV150 in late September 2020. Quite scenic along the river border and hills. I did it as part of a 5 week trip from Bangkok back to Bangkok. Also Mae Hong Son, Ban rak Thai and Pai before Chiang Mai on the best part of the Mae Hong Son Loop. Roads were good and quieter on Mae Sot to Mae Sariang. If you have the time then why not. Definitely not boring and a few interesting places to explore such as Mae Kasa hot springs along the way.

Let us create an AN Data base of all the posters who are on an ignore list and who put them on it. An even better idea is to conduct a poll/vote on who should be put on such a list and by whom! I know it is against the rules but the idea of just such a utopian idea really excites me! Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
