Overview

Mae Hong Son district is tucked away in the remote northwest corner, of a scenic mountainous region of Thailand. The route takes you up and over mountains, quaint little villages, through forests, and across bridges for its entire 690 km length. With butter smooth tarmac, sparse traffic, stunning scenery, and Khao Soi to die for (talk about Thai cuisine!), this is a dream cycling holiday. It's a 11-day trip.
