Route 108
6.89curves per kilometre — its hardest two kilometres
What it is
The commute home. Four to six lanes with a median, narrowing to two through the town centres.
The long version
88 kilometres, per the Thai highway article, four to six lanes except through the centres of Hang Dong, San Pa Tong, Thung Sieo and Chom Thong where it drops to two.
Inference — two things worth saying about a leg that is otherwise just a road. First, it is where tired riders relax and traffic increases at the same time, which is not a good combination — the circuit's easiest riding is at the end of its longest day. Second, Chom Thong is the turn for Doi Inthanon, so a rider with an extra day has a reason to stop here rather than push in.
