Dear all,
I'm a fairly novice rider and planning a 2 up ride to the North of Thailand including a border run to Huay Xai these next two days. There is a ton of information on this site, a bit too much in fact that sifting through it all (as I have tried) to do has confused me even more!
I would very much appreciate if someone would be kind enough to give me some general ideas about routing, nice places to stop for meals (especially if owned by fellow riders) and where to stay overnight (also, whether to pre book via Agoda or to look for somewhere to stay on arrival), and whether the below itin is workable - not too tiring and not too late arrival as the evenings are too cold (I couldn't find my jacket liner)
My tentative itin is as follows:
26 Dec
Yasothon to Lom Sak
27 Dec
Lom Sak - Dan Sai - Nan
28 Dec
Nan - Chiang Khong (attend the Beach Party!!)
29 Dec
Chiang Khong - Huay Xai - Chiang Rai (border run day as my visa expires on 30 Dec)
30 Dec
Chiang Rai - Chiang Mai
31 Dec
Chiang Mai - Phitsanulok
01 Jan
Phitsanulok - Bangkok
Are there any must places to visit en-route? I've done stretches of 600 km in a day but wish to avoid this in order to get a good night's rest for the next day's riding.
Thanks in advance.
