A Scenic Cultural Gem
Geographically, Mae Wang district occupies the western slopes of the Thanon Thong Chai Range, where elevations increase 570 meters above sea level leading up to Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s highest mountain.
The Mae Wang River is a dominant feature of this area. It runs east towards Chiang Mai where it joins up with the Ping River, on the border of Chiang Mai and Lamphun.
A large population of ethnic Hill Tribe communities reside and farm in this region, including the Karen, Hmong, and Akha. Lush green rice paddies stretch across the landscape, often lined with seasonal blooms.
Fuel stops are based on a 7.7 Liter tank. Smaller tanks will need to add additional stops.
