On the Road to Mae Hong Son


women from the Lisu tribe, I think

Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son via highway 1095.

We left CM at 645am, and arrived in MHS at 1215nn. Highway 1095 is a very scenic road. The long and winding route takes you up and down and around the mountain ranges of northern thailand. If you've ever taken Halsema Highway (Baguio-Sagada), then you'd more or less get an idea of what the scenery would feel like.

The whole highway is part of what is known as the Mae Hong Son Loop. There are two main highways, 1095 and 108, and they cover most of the scenic towns of Mae Hong Son province.
