After the New Year and coming back to Chiang Mai, we began plotting the spots where to go on the loop how long, and what kind of ride to take, we ended up taking a Yamaha Aerox155cc to have sufficient power for the entire trip and you’ll expect some weird slopes and angle of crazy climbing luckily it survived with 0 crash and 0 damage.\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">The Mae Hong Son Loop, nestled in northern Thailand's hilly region, is a stunning and lesser-known site that provides a unique and extraordinary experience.
