OVERVIEW

Embark on the famed Mae Hong Son Loop, a comprehensive journey unveiling the authenticity of one of Thailand’s provinces, creating a bikers’ haven for those yearning to experience the true essence of Thailand. Mae Hong Son, Thailand’s most mountainous province, remains blissfully secluded, attracting fewer travelers due to its remote location and the time investment required for the journey. This adventure leads you to Thailand’s highest peak, Doi Inthanon, at an elevation of 2,565 meters above sea level, guiding you along perfectly paved roads winding through high mountain scenery along the Myanmar border. Traverse 1,864 exhilarating curves, offering expansive panoramic views of Mae Hong Son and the enchanting Pai. Immerse yourself in the rich history and activities found in National Parks and less-explored, non-touristic locales, all curated for an unforgettable bike ride experience.
