I was motorbike riding a loop in North Thailand and this was day 3, riding from Chiang Mai to Mae Salong. Starting at 7:30am in a rainy and clouded Chiang Mai town and ending at a foggy and cold Mae Salong at 15:00. If you like some help with organizing your motorbike trip or holiday anywhere in Thailand then feel free to send me an email at
The Little Elephant Traveling in Thailand.
The route : Route 107 to Chiang Dao and Tha Ton - Route 1130 to Mae Salong Nok. For more motorbike trips see
Motorbike Trip Reports. Total 232km.
After a failed breakfast I did ride my
Kawasaki Z250 and left while the clouds were coming in over Chiang Mai. That continued like that so at Chiang Dao I made a stop at Marisa Resort for a Dutch breakfast we a friend (Thanks Ton). It became more clouded and once going into the mountains it became foggy. And there was even some kind of a little bit rain. When I arrived at Mae Salong it was cold, dark, very foggy and I was longed for a hot shower and food. As it was long weekend I had not much hope in finding a hotel the easy way. So I stopped at the first place that looked nice and that was a good choice .... "Baan See See Mountain View Hotel". Nice rooms, private balcony and great view over the village. Highly recommended! I loved Mea Salong in the cold evening with thick fog. It did give me a kind of deja-vu of wintersport in Europe but then without the apre-ski and Glühwein. Due to the thick fog I decided to explore the area of Mae Salong the next day in the early morning.
