The Mae Chaem side road, and the way onto the Inthanon massif from behind.
7.94curves per kilometre — its hardest two kilometres
What it is
North out of Mae Chaem. Relevant to this circuit only as part of the 1263 shortcut's eastern exit.
The long version
Inference — if you have taken the 1263 cut you arrive at Mae Chaem with a choice, and this is one arm of it: north and over the Doi Inthanon side before dropping to Chom Thong on Route 108. Measured off OSM the run is about 32 kilometres with 96 curves at a 25-degree threshold, ten of them hairpins.
It is high, it is cold in the morning, and it puts the highest point in Thailand within reach of a detour.
