A fairly leisurely breakfast, then we set off along the Burmese border to cover the approximately 363km to the Burmese (Myanmar) border town of Mae Sot.
Rivers, valleys, farms and small towns, and we pass through three National Parks on the route. There will of course be a lunch stop and some cool photo opportunities.
We intend to arrive at our hotel around 5pm, so plenty of time to wash up before dinner.

Lots to see and lots of roads to cover today, but it's a fantastic route. The 108 could have almost been specifically made for touring bikes, and features twists, sweeping curves, loops and a few hilly climbs as we head up to Mae Hong Son covering around 160km.
Which is home to traditional hill tribes such as the Shan and Hmong. It is a gateway to the region's hilly geography and is overlooked by the beautiful Wat Phra That Doi Kongmu, which is a Burmese-style monastery.

Breakfast done and we have a beautiful southward ride today covering around 255km down to Nan.
A fantastic biking road with plenty to enjoy and challenge your riding skills, with some tight loops and bends.
Then into Nan and its three bridges connecting the right bank to the left bank of the river Nan and a myriad of temples. We will stay overnight here and you can have fun exploring the city after our hotel dinner.

After our final breakfast together we set off back to Chiang Mai. It's around 210km on some great roads that run along the southernmost mountains of Doi Luang National Park and then we turn south east to head down to ChiangMai.
Lunch with a view on the way and would hope to arrive by early to mid afternoon in the city.
Then sadly it's time to say goodbye and take away the memories of a fantastic experience and adventure.
