HazardsThe low sun
แดดต่ำ
Twenty minutes of the afternoon where you cannot see the oncoming lane at all.
What it is
Late afternoon on a westward leg in the cool season puts the sun directly down the road. A dusty visor turns it into a white sheet.
The long version
Inference — the stretch this bites on is the westward run into Mae Hong Son, and it is one of the few arguments in the whole clockwise-versus-counter-clockwise question that has a physical cause rather than a preference behind it. Riding that leg in the morning puts the sun behind you.
A dusty visor scatters that light into a wall; a clean one does not. It lasts about twenty minutes.
