Hai, I'm back for more update on the recent ride after a busy weekend. Continuing the experience story.
Day 5 – Chiang Mai -> Doi Ithanon -> Chiang Mai
Today, it will be a short ride to Doi Ithanon about 100 km
south of Chiang Mai, The Highest Peak of Thailand. This is my first ride here
even though I have ride to Northern Thailand since 2008. It was a climbing road
to the top but with good pave road it was an easy ride up. Once on the top, it
was a bit chill even in dry season. So if u guys plan to go up there in cold
season, be advise to wear a thick cloth then. It was hot in Chiang Mai but up
here the temperature can be as low as 17 Celcius.Just after the National Park Entrance, there is a river where people can have a swim. However we do not stop there. Maybe next trip but for sure not during cold season.
