I love to make a motorbike ride in the mountains and this time I made a ride to Manipruek in the mountains of Doi Phu Kha in the northern part of Nan province in North Thailand. Manipruek is actually a combination of serval mountain village where Hmong & Tai Lue are living. High in the mountains and with limited access are the valley's of Manipruek, originally home to poppy-field plantations but nowadays home to vegetable plantations. This ride I made in the cool season of December 2022. And cool it was, or actually cold. I did ride up to the ridge of the mountains where a handful of wooden house form a small village. I had a hot coco at Phu Vae View Home, a lovely coffee shop and homestay (with 2 comfortable rooms). From here you have a stunning view over the mountains with in a short distance Laos. If you like walking there are some nice walking trails here and the viewpoint Doi Pha Pueng.
