Sunrise in Pua, North Thailand. |
Reposting from 2018. Following is a motorbike trip report riding from Pua (Nan province) to Bo Klua, and back of course as I am living in Pua. For more motorbike trip reports see
Motorbike Trip Reports.
Nan province is motorbike riding heaven, so as motorbike rider living in Nan province I have plenty of choice for stunning routes to ride. The "Bo Klua Loop" is a famous loop to do from Nan town, but I do it from Pua. From where I am living it is only 48 km via route 1256 to Bo Klua, passing Doi Phu Kha National Park and Viewpoint 1715. From Bo Klua I first took the scenic route along the Mea Mang River. This is small road between the rice fields in the valley of Bo Klua and connects to route 1081. I then followed route 1018 in direction of Pua, but about 15 km before Pua I took a slightly different route back home. A few km route 1170 and then short-cut that goes to Pa Klang. Pa Klang is a group of villages created by the government as resettlement for Hmong & Tai Lue from the mountains of Doi Phu Kha. A total of 120 km, perfect for an early morning ride. Following is a serie of photos I made long route 1256 and route 1081.
