"VISITING BORDER TOWN"

         
Route: Phitsanulok - Uttradit - Phrae - Song - Ngao - Phayao - Phan - Chiang Rai - Mae Sai
Mileage: 530 km
Hotel: Piyaporn Prince Hotel
Rate: 1000-1200 baht
Riding Hours: 10hrs
Petrol: 200 + 330 + 380 baht

The destination is to Mae Sai. Mae Sai is the northern-most city of Thailand. It is mainly a stepping stone for visits to Myanmar and has few attractions of its own. My dream is to cross the bridge into Tachileik, Myanmar. But an entry permit valid for up to 14 days costs 500 baht or 17 US$. Travellers using this option are given a paper entry permit and their passports are held at the immigration office until they return to Thailand. Here i share the ride photo:

Our hotel at Phitsanulok.. Very near to Mosque. Easy to find halal food..

Got 'Roti Canai' here.. View near the restaurant..

hitted by a storm, the boots have yet to dry

Rimee play with his V1000

I thought it is a Transformer.. apparently it is a rice harvest machine

Arrived Chiang Rai.. Quite busy town.. Can see quite a number halal restaurant here..

Mueang Chiang Rai is a city in Amphoe Mueang Chiang Rai, Changwat Chiang Rai. Chiang Rai is the northernmost large city in Thailand.

Heading to Mae Sai.. Can see already signboard to Chiang Shien (Golden Triangle). That will be tomorrow's destination..

Night at Mae Sai. Infront of Burma gateway.. Trying to find halal dinner here...

I was here.. Top North of Thailand..

Going back to hotel.. Discuss route for tomorrow..
