Trails around Pai?

[Redytoride]

Hi. Do some body have advice the trails around Pai?
Friend of me is coming driving in end of December and idea is bring the bikes in Pai and stay few days around there and hit the trails.
I know there is the the crashed huawei helicopter to see but what about the trails around there? Are they easy sand roads or what?
We are looking more of single trails or something like that. And do have some other place i can show him around there? We bring the bikes whit car in there and try to keep away of the main roads (these bikes are not for that8-))

Another question is do i can track lost garmin montana some way? Do they only receive signal but not send? I just lost mine in doi suthep trail but manage find it whit some help, so if i lost it in the future again. (i will try not)

Thanks

There are plenty of trails in the Pai area - see the screenshot I took from the North Thailand GPS map (available from Riders Corner in Chiangmai). And No, the Garmin Montana only receives signals so better secure it with a sturdy lanyard to your bike.

The way to the helicopter is not easy. But my pictures from 2011. I saw pictures there only small piece of rest from the Huwai.

Great pictures and yes, the helicopter has been stripped of almost all the pieces which can be taken of without a lot of tools

Here are the best trails you can find around Pai. The RR are from 5-6 years ago, can't tell if it's all still there:
