Looking For A Map


Raiderz4Life

Recommended Posts

I recently bought a bicycle and I've been peddling around Chiang Mai. The best map I have is called Chiang Mai Thailand by Map Finder. While this is a good map, I want one that has a bit more of the area surrounding CM, especially the roads in the vicinity of the mountains where the biking is good. Anyone know where I can get one like that?

I doubt such a map showing biking trails outside of the city is available...yet :)

You must remember that maps of the North are a fairly new item, because of security issues.

25 years ago, I remember it was very hard t find any map of the North...

The Chiang Mai Big map, the one you mentioned, was created by a cyclist.

Consider the GT Rider maps, the Mae Sa Valley/Samoeng loop map of ours has been used more for cycling than motorcycling. Where are MHS and Golden triangle maps are great for motorcycling, the mountain roads are describe in little detail which my help in route selection.

GT Rider maps are available from Tony's big bikes in town.

If you speak with Pikey, one of the owners, he has riden many of the roads around the north and could possibly offer more acurate information on road conditions than you would get on the map.

Sorry, I thought you were looking for off road biking trails :)

The GT maps by David are the best available :)

There's some routes here

and a local group whose email address is "[email protected]" who might be able to help.

There is also a new 2010 "Big Map" of Chiang Mai and the surrounding area with some bike and walking trails shown on it. There website is findercm.com but I bought my copy at Gecko's bookshop. A sample of the map can be found here;
