14: Chae Son – Ban Mae Jam
If someone would have told me … … to go up a climb like this on loaded bikes, pulling a trailer. I would have said this is impossible. We knew that we had a big climb ahead of us this why we planned this as a short stage of only 35 kms. So we left

13: Lampang – Chae Son
Adding a loop The day started with our usual routine: getting up, pack our stuff, get breakfast, pack some more and put everyhting on our bikes and off for the next stage. Since we had some time left and we decided it would be too stressful to fly to the south of Thailand for the

12: Phrae – Lampang2
Just a short one We just completed the last 35kms left to go to Lampang. And had a nice stop at a beautiful coffee place… If there is something you really don’t need to worry about when biking in northern Thailand is to find a nice place for a coffee! Because of the short stage

11: Phrae – Lampang1
Thai style glamping We started refreshed after our rest day and with (as always) perfect weather conditions. With a mostly flat profile until a longer uphill before the end and no big towns on the route we left Phrae without any big expectations. And I most say I fell in love with this stage. Starting

10: Nan – Phrae2
Scenic Route We good a nice Thai breakfast from our owner and left the nice building white early. The thing about this route was that we had the option to just follow the main road (Autobahn) until Phrae which would mean a 50km easy boring ride. Or taking the scenic route. A bit longer and

After the up and down the days before we decided we want to take it a bit easier and diverted from our original route which would have included two more mountain stages. Therefore instead of going from Nan to Phayao we would now head for Phrae. This was actually the very first route I planned

8: Pua – Nan
Finally flat (almost) After a long mountain stage finally a flat stage was on the schedule. We had 2 options to go to Nan and decided for the one following the Nana river and so the main road, to ensure to stay away from mountains as much as possible, after the experience we made the

7: Phu Langkha – Pua
Steady up and down The morning of stage 7 invited us with an astonishing view directly from our room door over the valley in front of us. This simple view made the whole trip worth it. We got a good breakfast from our lovely host and we then soon got on the bikes. since the

6: Chiang Kham – Phu Langka
Mountains again Since we went further than planned the day before this was a really short stage allowing us a bit to recover form the 2 long runs we did the days before. The route took us again into the mountains and also our destination for the day was there. I was quite I excited

5: Chiang Rai – Chiang Kham
Another long one From the planning I already knew that this stage was more about getting kilometers done than any sightseeing or other entertainment. This is the other part of bikepacking sometimes you just bike to get somewhere else. 78kms where on the schedule, however I realized that I set the destination one town too
