Guests who rented motorbikes should take care on the mountain roads, especially in the wet season when it can be slippery in places. Cars or pickup trucks can be hired from companies like North Wheels, Budget, Journey etc. in Chiang Mai. Several guests have arrived by bicycle – some guests have ridden from Europe! There are many excellent ‘off road’ routes near us, see GT-Rider.com for all the best motorcycling info. You can buy a copy GT-Riders excellent Mae Hong Son Loop Map in Chiang Mai or Pai.
