Chiang Rai To Nan

[Captain_Slash]

The route 1020, 1292, 1126, 1091

Total distance 234 km

A very nice chicken biryani at the Muslim restaurant for 50 Baht got the day off to a good start

It was a bit overcast in Chiang Rai first thing and none too warm when I went for breakfast so I put extra clothes on under my airflow gear.
I was hot riding in the city but once over hwy1 and moving I quickly cooled down and kept that extra clothing on plus the wind proof liners in all the way to Nan

Its a sunny day now and a pleasant ride once off the long boring straight section of the 1020



Nearing Nan province and I notice everywhere looks dry, almost like the nightly rain I was getting in Fang didnt reach out this far

From the view point along the 1091 and its looking hazy





Some of the curves of the 1091

As I near Nan and the reservoir I ride over looks full.
I check in at Amazing GH and its empty at the moment

Chicken massaman from the market, a portion didnt look much in the bag so I ordered 2 plus 2 bags of rice.
80 Baht the lot, I could hardly eat it all there was so much, delicious too

Don't know how I'd make it through northern Canadian winters without your trip reports Colin, always in time for my morning cuppa. Yeah, Nan roads coming up!

Enjoy that cool weather, temperatures here are in the 20's also but on the other side of zero. It's a dry cold....



The best conditions during last afternoons, short 420 km, drive on the Alaska highway.



My truck was cooled nicely at the hotel this morning. Edit; not winter yet here, sunrise is 8:49 AM and sunset is 3:15 PM.

Stay warm.

Cheers,
Kevin
