Riding after dark — The Mae Hong Son Loop Once the sun is down the circuit has no ambient light at all outside the towns, and a rented bike's headlight is usually a single bulb of unknown age. nanobotco.github.io/mae-hong-son-loop/hazard/night-riding/ · 18-Sep-2026 · 47K
Pai — The Mae Hong Son Loop Night one clockwise. A small district town in a flat river basin ringed by hills, with more guesthouses, coffee and motorcycle rental per head than anywhere else on the circuit. nanobotco.github.io/mae-hong-son-loop/town/pai/ · 18-Sep-2026 · 82K
Wat Jong Soong — The Mae Hong Son Loop In the middle of Mae Sariang, with the whitewashed tiered chedis and the tin roofs of the Shan-Burmese manner rather than the Lanna one. nanobotco.github.io/mae-hong-son-loop/wat/wat-jong-soong/ · 18-Sep-2026 · 78K
Sticky rice — The Mae Hong Son Loop Glutinous rice, steamed rather than boiled, eaten with the right hand in small pressed balls. The everyday grain of the north and the northeast. nanobotco.github.io/mae-hong-son-loop/dish/sticky-rice/ · 18-Sep-2026 · 49K
The Shan — The Mae Hong Son Loop Tai Yai. A Tai people whose territory spans the Thai–Myanmar border, and the majority group in Mae Hong Son province. nanobotco.github.io/mae-hong-son-loop/person/shan/ · 18-Sep-2026 · 51K
What actually fits — The Mae Hong Son Loop Four days, one small bag. The constraint is not volume — it is where the weight sits and what it does to the front wheel on a downhill hairpin. nanobotco.github.io/mae-hong-son-loop/kit/packing-light/ · 18-Sep-2026 · 48K
Wat Phra That Doi Kong Mu — The Mae Hong Son Loop The temple on the hill west of Mae Hong Son town. Two Shan-style chedis, a road to the top, and the view that gives the province its nickname. nanobotco.github.io/mae-hong-son-loop/wat/doi-kong-mu/ · 18-Sep-2026 · 81K
Chiang Mai to Pai — The Mae Hong Son Loop Route 107 north out of the city to the Route 1095 turn, then over the hills to Pai. The shortest leg of the circuit by distance and the one people most often underestimate by time. nanobotco.github.io/mae-hong-son-loop/leg/cnx-to-pai/ · 18-Sep-2026 · 112K
Route 1096 — The Mae Hong Son Loop Mae Rim to Samoeng, ridden as a day loop out of Chiang Mai and back. Not part of the Mae Hong Son circuit, and the best possible preparation for it. nanobotco.github.io/mae-hong-son-loop/road/route-1096/ · 18-Sep-2026 · 103K
