Continuing our trip in the North of Thailand and Mae Hong Son Loop<\/a><\/strong>, we started from Mae Sariang<\/a><\/strong> to Chinese Ban Rak Thai early in the morning. Thailand is considered to be a warm country, but mornings on bike are rather cold and uncomfortable. Moreover, during the first hour the road was quite boring, but also almost free of traffic. After the sun came out, and the first pictures were made, the trip became much more fun. <\/p>\n

Also, the road turned into serpentine. For a while, we were racing with a track. The road was hilly, which is why we took over the truck on the way up, and preferred to let it go on the way down. We had to stop more often to stretch our backs and legs. At some point of time we stopped at the side road covered with some grass which turned out to be thorns, and it took us several days after that to get rid of them being in our trousers and socks.<\/p>\n
