Our Extreme team this time comes from USA, Scottland and Germany. There was a special festival going on in Chiang Mai, where the sky at night was iluminated by thousands of lampignons or a kind of baloon. Very nice!

After leaving the city traffic of Chiang Mai behind(the city traffic was interresting too!),  we had a great first riding day through beautiful mountain scenery and charming villages. Dinner at Rico Resort was wonderful!

Even though, all days on this tour are fantastic, today's ride is exceptional.

Not just, that we crossed the highest point (with rreeaaally very pleasant 20 degrees Celsius) - no, we enjoyed a rollercoaster alike ride on smaller and on wider roads with almost no straight bit!

But, the surrounding (typical small villages, jungle-ish parts and great views down to the valleys) was just breathtaking too!

Restday? We did not have a real rest. We went for a spectacular ride along the Lao border. Some sections were quite tecnical, with potholes and dirt on the road, but great fun.

Quite a long riding day, full of curves. Some did an exhausting hike to Phuchi Fa, a lookout point at the border to Laos. In the afternoon we reached the Mekong,  the lifeline of Southeast Asia. Our hotel in Chiang Khong called Baan Sakuna Resort is just amazing!!!!!!!

A great ride along the Mekong in the morning, a tourist stop at the Golden Triangle and a challenging narrow road along the Myanmar border. A visit at a hilltribe village in the afternoon,  a day full of highlights!

Today we did the road of the thousand curves to Pai,  what an experience! But that was not all, elefants, waterfall and Pai nightlife made this day perfect. 

After the road of the thousand curves yesterday,  we did the road of the two thousand curves today, going to Mae Sariang. What a blast! But we also visited a beautiful little village by boat, famous for the long neck women. This day was a day to remember .

Ob our last riding day back to Chiang Mai, we had all kind of roads, from easy sweepers to single lane concrete tracks. One more waterfall and some elefants on the way.

The traffic coming into Chiang Mai was quite intense,  but the group did really well. 

A great tour with great riders and pillions comes to an end. What an experience!
