Mae Sariang To CNX 2013

[Captain_Slash]

The route 108, 4009, 4020, 1156, 4200, 3165

Total distance 221 km

On the way to Hot and some road repairs here with a temporary bridge in place

Some rather brown water in the Mae Chaem river and more then I expected to see.
Also I notice the concrete bridge has collapsed

I stop in Hot to fill up with fuel then ride north along the horrible 108 for about 2 km then take a right to get off that vile road

I cross over the Ping river and see there is no water flowing at all

A pleasant way to ride back from Hot on good roads

A few more shots of the Ping before I rejoin the 108 after escaping the worst section of it

A burrito at El Diablos for 165 Baht

That's a good route to avoid the 108 into Chiang Mai Colin.

I was on the riverside road last Thursday, the river is so low & in many places it's looking stagnant with pollen / muck floating on the top.

That section of R 108 north of Hot is one of the most tortuous roads in Thailand. Slow, constant road works, traffic lights, bottle necks etc....... Great idea to take that route.
