Linking Omkoi (R 1099) To R 105 the northen way

[KTMphil]

David Bailey & I had seen this track heading off to the north west a couple of weeks ago and it looked like it must go all the way through to R 105.


More on that in the trip report below:

So looking like it was a big track I thought I'd try it on the 990 Adv

A few heart stopping moments in some deep bull dust on steep inclines but the big beast got through in style

Below was an estimate of what we "thought" it was going to be from Google Earth!

Entrance to the Sop Moei Karen village region.... One of the best riding secrets of Thailand

So looking at all the new mapping data, there's several ways to get through from the southern end of R 1099 to R 105

Gave the Chokwasana GH a try in Mae Sariang right opposite the Good View GH.

Beautiful big new chalets with aircon 500 bht.

Secure parking for the bike too​

As you can see there's plenty of small villages on the dirt trail through the mountain, most villages would have fuel available, there was a small shop every 20km or so

Phil well done on linking more of this interesting previously unmapped area up

Thanks Colin - You did a lot of the heavy lifting to show what might link up.

Looking at the layout of the villages, it also looks like R 1267 will link up to the south (estimated track/ blue line on the map)
