Question for the guys who've been living and riding in north Thailand for multiple years...
Seems to me that a lot of people have differing opinions on weather or not the north even has a rainy season. I told a friend I wanted to do the MHS loop again, but figured I'd get rained on about half the time, so I was unsure about doing it. He laughed and tried to assure me that there is no rainy season here in the north. Hmmm... that's odd, it's been damn cloudy and drizzly every day for about a month straight now.
That said, I recently did a 3 day run around the north, eventually hitting Nan, then coming back... and we really only had a few hours worth of rain on day 2. The rest of the time it was cloudy, which we liked because it was never too hot, and it didnt really rain... a few minutes of slight drizzle was all we ever really saw.
I look at the mountains and every day it looks dark and threatening and I think "I want to ride, but I dont want get rained on", so I end up staying home.
Anyway, just looking for input and thoughts from guys who've lived here and rode for multiple years now...
