I'm currently riding on a road that is known to be a biker's paradise, Mae Hong Son but I call it the Dragons Tail.
600kms and 3100 bends along with Hairpins which wind their way through steep mountain trails, mist covered passes and steamy jungles, over hills and through river valleys. The curves are tight and often slippery when it rains or gravel-strewn.
The descent at my first stop which was Pai was through paddy fields so green with the white beaming Buddha Statue that overlooks the town.. The stretch between Chiang Mai and Pai alone boasts of 762 hilly curves.
After riding for about 120kms on those curvy roads I finally reached my hotel at around 3pm... Went straight for a shower and then I was off again, ready to explore the town of Mai Hong son.
The first place I visited was this temple very close to the city. But was up on a hill. It had a fantastic view of the city below and I was just in time for sunset 🌇
I was really hungry after walking around the temple, so rode to the market where they had all these food stalls in one place and I tried the crab nuggets and sausages.
And then got back to my hotel
