TownsMae Sariang
แม่สะเรียง · Mae Sariang
The southern base, on the Yuam river, with almost nobody in it.
Angkun-ane · CC BY-SA 4.0What it is
The largest town on the southern leg and the natural overnight between Mae Hong Son and Chiang Mai. Teak-era shophouses, Burmese-style wats, and a river.
The long version
Mae Sariang district reaches west to the Salween, which is the border, and the road on to Mae Sam Laep is the way to see it.
Inference — the arithmetic: Mae Hong Son to Chiang Mai in one day by Route 108 is a very long day on a mountain road; broken at Mae Sariang it is two comfortable ones. Riders on a tight schedule push through and arrive after dark.
Now
Quiet, cheap, and the last town of any size before the long empty run north or the long fast run east.
