A roundabout where Route 108's kilometre marks go back to zero.
Tomas Castelazo · CC BY-SA 3.0What it is
The hinge of the southern leg: east of here Route 108 is four to six lanes to Chiang Mai, west of here it is two lanes for 265 kilometres.
The long version
The kilometre marks on Route 108 restart at zero at the Hot roundabout and run from there to Mae Hong Son — 265 kilometres. East of Hot to Chiang Mai is 88 kilometres of a different kind of road: four to six lanes with a median, narrowing to two through the town centres of Hang Dong, San Pa Tong, Thung Sieo and Chom Thong.
Inference — the practical meaning is that Hot is where the ride starts or ends, whichever way round you go. East of it you are commuting; west of it you are riding.
Now
