Ride Harley Davidsons through ancient cities. This Speaking Buddha inspired the Sukothai warriors to fight and defeat the Burmese invaders centuries ago.
The First Days ride takes us to Doi Inthanon (Thailands highest point), Before descending into the mae chaem valley. We ride through rich farmland before heading west to Mae Sarieng. We stop here at a great little teak hotel by the river.
The Following day takes us south on the Burmese border. There is very little traffic on this road, that twists in places then opens through the valleys on roads that offer a lot of entertainment. The Karen Villages we will see on our way south are built at the base of cliff faces, rising sheer out of the jungle, and worth a stop. We stay in mae sot on the Burmese border. The optional border crossing takes a couple of hours. At some border crossings you will find yourself in open markets that differ very little from Thailand. Mae Sot offers an instant and genuine Burmese experience.
Day 3 sees us heading east over eavily forested mountains to tak for a break by the river before riding on to the ancient capitol, Sukhothai.
Sukhothai is Thailands first capital and a hugely important historical area. The sukhothai ruins are a world heritage site and a must see. We spend the night in one of our favorite boutique hotels.
Nan province is a favorite ride among Local Bikers with serpentine mountain roads and beautiful green Valleys all the way. Nan is a rural trading hub with most locals involved in farming of one kind or another. The central market in town can be an eye opener. This tour offers an optional white water rafting experience.
The lastleg takes us home on highway 1091, more mountains and truly memorable views. We tear into some Thai BBQ by the lake. At Phayao, then ride further west on Highway 120.
