The route 118, 120, Hwy 1, 1021, 1251, 1091
Total distance 302 km
I stopped at Aroon Rai near Thapae gate for breakfast
A Northern pork curry with ginger was enjoyed there
Then it was off up the 118 and a very enjoyable road this is too once past Doi Saket
At Mae Khachan it was a right onto the 120
This is another excellent road thats in perfect condition for its entirety
A new friend, thankfully this one didnt run out in front of me
I stop off for a look at Than Thong waterfall
A nice bit of greenery here, there was a lot more greenery in places along todays ride than I expected to see, it wasnt just fires all the way
Now back to the good bends along here
This picture is actually quite a clear one
At the 120s end I turn left onto hwy 1 for a few km then its a right ontro the 1021, and at Dok Kham Tai ita a right onto the 1251
Another road that always good fun to ride, minimal traffic, good bends and a good surface combine to make it an enjoyable trip
Its getting clearer in the hills now
I reach the T junction with the 1091, turn right onto it and this lovely road takes me into Nan
A nice fire out there
This section of the 1091 that I ride today is about 80 km of just pure brilliance, I remember riding on unmade sections years ago but now its just perfect
Yes I am definitely in Nan province now, I ride into town and check in at the Amazing Guest House as usual
Its a lasagna and garlic bread at Da Darios 262/3 Mahayod Road tonight, 160 Baht in total
No complaints about the food here
