What it is
Ninety-odd kilometres of Route 108 that the Thai highway article describes as running parallel to the Yuam river.
The long version
The article is precise about what this road does: from Mae Sariang it parallels the Yuam through Mae La Noi, then climbs after Ban Mae La Luang to Khun Yuam. A river road with a climb at the north end.
Inference — it is the leg where the trip changes pace. The riding asks little, the villages are frequent, and the temptation is to cover it fast. The villages are exactly why not to: this is Karen country and the roadside is where most of what you will see of it happens.
