A group of the more senior Chiang Rai riders got together with Phil for a nice looping ride from Chiang Rai town passing through Chiang Sean, Mae Sai and Theod Thai which i had done earlier this year but poor visibility spoiled the trip. This time the weather gods smiled on us and apart from the odd shower it was a real treat, last time i had discovered a new paved section that will bring you out to the north of Theod Thai.

First stop Mae Aep waterfall looking good after a bit of rain.

Next to the waterfall is the private wat of Wat namtok and adjacent on the hill is an old stupa housing a single monk who had been there for 17 years, i was the only one stupid enough the climb up to the mosquito infested retreat but it was good to chat to the monk.

The trail was a little greasy but easy past with no drama.

After a nice easy ride to Mae Sai for a rest overnight it was on to Theod Thai.
Great views as climbed.
