The need for a quick ride ‘n photo.
THE RIDERS
Phil & Robert , Chiang Mai – Mae Chaem.
David – the full loop, Chiang Mai – Doi Inthanon – Mae Chaem – Mae Sarieng – Mae Hong Son – Pai – Chiang Mai.

The middle of the wet season & only rain

NEXT STOP # 5 The highest spot in Thailand

The fog was intense

The KTM caught this farmer’s eye, but unfortunately he did not have enough cabbages planted to buy one this year.

The photo opportunities in rainy season are immense in the mountains, don't miss out!

Hey, hey Phil, careful. Your spilling the beans on how nice it is to ride in the raining season. Sssh. :RE

Here's a vid my son shot and put together from the same month. We've ridden the MHS every August for the last few years and have always really enjoyed it. This August it looks like the 2 of us will be ridding 2 bikes puttering around the MHS loop.
