In reply to adventureinyou. No, not at all. We were there in Januari, some fog in the morning and a bit chilley. But when the sun came out it was clear blue skies all around. I don't believe I've seen that kind of blue skies for so many days in a row!

In reply to Rieneke Elzerman. Awesome!! @rienekeelzerman:disqus SOOOO glad you found the time to do it. 10 days is a good amount of time. We would have stretched out trip to and done some hiking while in Mae Sariang. I loved the Mae Hong Son to Pai because of the valleys! Was it smokey in northern THailand when you were there?

This is by far the best experience we’ve had so far! We took our time and did the whole loop in 10 days, could have been a bit shorter, but overall loved it. Everyone suggested renting a scooter when we went looking around, be we thought it wouldn’y have enough power. In the end we decided on a Yamaha Versys 650cc and that was perfect. We rented our bike at Popcar in Chiang Mai and got 3 suitcases, 2 jackets and 2 helmets included in the price. I tought the drive from Mae Sariang to Mae Hong Son was the best part, because of the nice and softly winding roads.

In reply to Christina. Hi @christina yes it is! Lots of people do it so I can't see any dangers.

Sounds like a wonderful trip!
I’ve been wondering if this trip is safe for solo females?
Quite a few recent posts states that there’re “police officers” flagging tourists to fine them…

Thanks for the information! I’m just wondering what your itinerary for a 4 day trip (as you recommended) would look like? Do you just mean chilling out in Pai for the end of the 3rd day, and then catching the bus to Chiang Mai the 4th day? Thanks in advance 🙂
