Just a short hop east of Chiang Mai we head away from the tourist trail and into fertile valleys that offer inspiring views and mountainous horizons not seen from the city.
After a short drive from the city we start our bicycle exploration of Sankampaeng and the beautiful, peaceful Lanna countryside. We visit the Sankampaeng markets where the fresh produce is artfully displayed.
Our ride will take us through open plains and for some variety we’ll take short cuts through lush green rice paddies as we head towards the forests and mountains that surround this area.
We’ll stop for lunch at a local restaurant, perhaps sampling the famous northern Thai noodle dish kao soy, a chicken curry dish made with yellow noodles.
