I'll have to talk to David Bailey & LR as they've both also done this a million times. The road directions east of Chiang Rai are very unfriendly when you are trying to head east towards Chiang Khong, a lot of weaving is needed whichever route you take.


This route below is around 290km, it can be done anywhere between 3 and a half and 4 and a half hours of moving time:

Chiang Mai
R118
R1
R 2006
R 1020 (splits into 2 up here)
R 1152
R 1020
Chiang Khong

Anyone have any other suggestions of a faster route?
