CHIANG RAI, 31 July 2018: After driving through 1864 hairpin bends on the road to Mae Hong Son I felt I had earned recognition, perhaps even a certificate of merit. Mae Hong Son’s provincial capital sits in a narrow valley surrounded by forested mountains that are habitually shrouded in mist. Seeking out the chamber’s office opposite the post office is worth the effort. Mae Hong Son is probably the only provincial capital in Thailand that awards ‘certificates of conquest’ for those who arrive in one piece and with a sound mind. The Mae Hong Son Chamber of Commerce issues the certificate that confirms a successful trip on highway 1095 for the grand fee of THB40. Chilled travellers usually break the journey in the small village of Pai, a halfway house for backpackers and youthful tourists. The sound mind is important as the brain cells are seriously stressed on the 245 km trip across mountain ridges that separate the far northwest town from Chiang Mai. Access is limited to just two highways; the longer low-road 108 from Chiang Mai (349 km) and the meandering of high-road 1095 (245 km).

• Comfortable, waterproof shoes
• Phutthabucha Road Night Bazaar
• Phon Phop Waterfall
• Phitsanulok Night Bazaar
• Bathing suit
• Visited the Buddha Park in Vientiane
• Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park

Most tourists don’t bother to complete the six-hour journey across the ridges preferring to stay put in Pai famed for its nightly food-street bazaar and quaint boutique resorts overlooking the town’s river. From December to early March the cooler weather attracts Bangkok residents who head for Pai in their droves to pose in winter woollies and hoodies. But it rains and that may dampen the enthusiasm for selfie photo sessions, but never entirely if there is an umbrella handy. More importantly it may have braking issues when going downhill. But Mae Hong Son’s 9,000 odd residents quickly point out that their provincial capital has its own brand of traditions and heritage reflected in its distinct temples and ethnic minority groups that dwell close by. They return the way they came back to Chiang Mai. You have the roads to yourself, the countryside displays vivid shades of green due to the daily downpours and hotels welcome you with low-season rates. Hotels are packed and the village’s small lanes suffer the indignity of gridlock. He’s probably covered most roads in Thailand and neighbouring countries checking scenic routes for the first-ever guides and maps specifically for motorcycle riders. Driving the route during the monsoon months June to September also has special appeal. The circular route through the hill country is best explored by hire-car or motorbike over a leisurely three to five-night itinerary. A motorcycle tour authority and founder of GT Rider, David Unkovich, knows the pitfalls and challenges of motorcycle touring on this famous loop. To enjoy this trip at its best, plan for October through to early December when the sunflowers bloom on hillsides mostly on the highway 108 stage from Mae Hong Son town to the junction village of Khun Yuam. To be on the safe side carry an international driving permit that is essentially a transcript of your national driving licence. In truth, the contrasts between Pai and Mae Hong Son are core features of a signature trip unrivalled in North Thailand. Hotels are packed and the village’s small lanes suffer the indignity of gridlock. On the loop what’s the best bike to ride? Mae Hong Son town in contrast rarely suffers these peak season symptoms.
