Thrilling 1864 Curves, Mae Hong Son Loop – 4-Day Motorcycle Tour

About this tour

Ride the legendary Mae Hong Son Loop, a 600-kilometre circuit through Northern Thailand's most rewarding mountain passes. This five-day motorcycle tour connects Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son province via Pai and Mae Sariang, threading through roughly 1,864 curves that test your skills across dramatic elevation changes and sweeping bends. You'll navigate mist-cloaked peaks, terraced farmland, and remote hill-tribe settlements whilst stopping at temples, thermal springs, and local markets. A chase vehicle, licensed guide, full protective gear, and daily meals keep you supported throughout.

What to expect

Each day you'll cover 250–350 kilometres on roads that demand focus and reward confidence. Hairpin turns and sustained climbs test your throttle control; switchbacks deliver views across valleys and forested ridges. Your guide leads the pace, the chase vehicle stays close behind, and you'll pull into town for lunch and dinner at local spots. Mornings start with breakfast at your hotel; evenings you rest and compare notes on the day's trickiest sections. The riding itself is the star, but temple visits, natural hot springs, and market wanders break up the hours in the saddle.
