[QUOTE="nikhuzlan, post: 658895, member: 19744"] [b]28Nov Day 6 Mae Hong Son - Pai , 110km Today will be a short ride covering just 110kms but traversing 762 corners. We will take our time. The plan is to visit the Long Neck Village near Mae Hong Son. I am not really keen because i feel like we are going to a human zoo, but when I found out the the settlement at Ban Mai Noi Sio is quite some way off the beaten path, I thought it may be worth our time. The detour will add 30kms to our trip, so that may be interesting. Before we leave town, a customary visit to the local tourism office to get the 1864 certificate will be in order.[/b] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/20121128ADVLuxPt2/20121128MHSPai007.jpg[/img] [b]We left town at 0800, riding through a short cut that takes us through some rural village road.[/b] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/20121128ADVLuxPt2/20121128MHSPai007a.jpg[/img] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/20121128ADVLuxPt2/20121128MHSPai010a10.jpg[/img] [b]Updating the coordinates for the offroad bit.[/b] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/20121128ADVLuxPt2/20121128MHSPai012.jpg[/img] [b]Getting to the settlement involved 15kms of light offroading.[/b] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/20121128ADVLuxPt2/20121128MHSPai030a.jpg[/img] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/20121128ADVLuxPt2/20121128MHSPai030a20.jpg[/img] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/20121128ADVLuxPt2/20121128MHSPai032.jpg[/img] [b]A small 'contribution' before entering the settlement.[/b] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/20121128ADVLuxPt2/20121128MHSPai039.jpg[/img] [b]The settlement. this is definitely not a popular.
