The adventure begins heading north through Chiang Mai’s vegetable patches alongside Ping river. We encounter our first paddies on a quiet winding road, then gain altitude and cross the lush massif, which separates us from the Mae Taeng valley. At the end of the day we arrive in Chiang Dao, a small hamlet set at the foothills of an impressive mountain.

D3 / Chiang Dao - Tha Ton - 115 miles

In the morning we come across our first karst cliffs of the tour, emerging from a dense forest peppered with majestic teaks. We continue north towards the Burmese border through changing landscapes which become increasingly wild. The road propels us towards Doi Angkhang, which stands at almost 2,000 m altitude. After a traditional meal in the village of Ban Luang, we head back down into Fang’s vast plains.

Our adventure continues north, closer to the Burmese border, as we advance on stunning small mountain roads. After crossing Fang’s plains, we climb up to Doi Mae Salong, known for its Chinese mountain village, Santikhiri. Small secondary roads crisscross the Burmese border and the Mekong until we reach Chiang Saen in the heart of the Golden Triangle.

D5 / Golden Triangle - Chiang Rai - 65 miles

We make an early start to leave Chiang Saen, following the Mekong for a few miles and before heading south. We cruise between rice paddies, pineapple plantations and other fruit and vegetable crops, and arrive in Chiang Rai for lunch. In the afternoon, we can visit the famous White Temple, Baan Dam Museum and Wat Huay Pla Kung.

D6 / Chiang Rai – Chiang Mai - 150 miles

We head south towards Phayao. We take a short break in this provincial capital on the edge of a large lake with mountain views.

We spend the last night in Chiang Mai, where you can do a bit of shopping or simply enjoy one last Thai massage.
