Video: My recent 4-day trip on the Mae Hong Son Loop in Northern Thailand

[Gumba]

I recently did a 4-day trip with a couple friends in Northern Thailand. The Mae Hong Son Loop is about 600km of highway connecting Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son to Pai back to Chiang Mai (and all the small towns in between), in Northern Thailand. It contains over 1000 hairpin turns as well as a whole lot of beautiful scenery, national parks, traditional villages, tribal communities, farms, rivers and waterfalls as you roll through the breathtaking mountains.

I rented a Honda Phantom 250 ($20/day rental fee from Tony's Big Bikes in Chiang Mai). Typically I ride sport bikes so it was a change but a very enjoyable experience none the less. I was wearing a helmet for the majority of the ride, just took it off for a bit to get some selfie footage

Anyone else ride the loop?

I skipped the start of the video and it started at a point mid corner and I'm like "wow, stay on your half of the line"!!! Then realized you drive on the other side of the road there

Tony's Big Bikes and you got a 250?
