As you know i was in Thailand last month on holidays. Went up to a place called Pai about 120km north of Chaing Mai, I had heard about the roads up there being good but what a shock when i seen them.
Absolutly amazing biking roads. If you like very tight winding corners and brilliant scenery this is the place to go.
I was planning on hiring a big bike in Chaing Mai and riding it up the country but Joanne was not so sure, so we travelled up to Pai by bus and decided to hire a bike there, unfortunatly choice was very limited to scooters and custom bikes all 100 - 200 cc.
Any way i met up with a few people there and we went of a run on the bikes, me on a Honda Dream 125, two others on 125cc Mopeds and another on a Phantoem 200 custom.
I took a few videos with my mobile on the route up and the route down. One hand on the handle bars and one controlling the phone, don't think i done a bad job.
Thak a look at the link to the you tube video.
I will attempt to sort out the rest of the videos soon as i need to turn the aspect around as most of it was recorded whilst the phone was upside down.
We also went to a nice place called the Tiger Temple were you can play with real tigers. Well worth a visit.
