<p><strong>3 Day, 2 Nights Along the Thai/Burmese Border</strong><strong></strong><br />
This tour is suitable to all 4 models of our motorcycles<br />
<strong>Day 1</strong><br />
We ride curvaceous undulating asphalt mountain roads. The temperature drops as we spiral to Altitudes of 2200m above sea level and traverse across the mountain ridge border that separates Thailand form Burma.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-156 alignright" title="monk" src="http://www.transmotosport.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/pict5132.jpg" alt="monk" width="140" height="105" /><br />
The day is filled with escarpment views, forest and extraordinary<br />
people as we pass through many hill tribe villages of Akha, Palong and Lisu people. We will also come across numerous soldier camps from<br />
Thai, Burmese and Shan State Armies.<br />
Our final destination tonight will be the village of Thaton in a modern mini resort set by the Kok River beneath the Buddhist mountain<br />
temples.<br />

<strong>Day 2</strong><br />
For those of you who wake at dawn we will make up the mountain to Wat Thaton temple and watch the glorious sunrise after which we will assemble with the others for breakfast and make our way to Mae Sai the most northerly point in Thailand. Here you may cross the border into to Burma and visit the manic markets or Long Neck Karen Hill tribe.<br />

After Mai Sai we will ride our way back up into the mountain rising up to Doi Tung and Prathat Temple, then cross through the ex-stomping grounds of freedom fighter / opium warlord Khun Sa. On our way to discover Doi Mae Salong a community of ex-Chinese K.M.T. nestled at 1500m above sea level and our nights rest village.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The provincial town of <a href="http://www.fang-thailand.info" target="_blank">Fang</a> is located 150 kms north of Chiang Mai, via Highway 107 . Unjustly written off by some unenlightened travel writers as being best passed by, its actually a very cool place to spend a night or too! A little delving around reveals some good restaurants, bars and even a late-night disco!</p>
<p>Uncle Jack&#8217;s Hideaway is a recently discovered restaurant gem in Fang&#8230; Jack, and his wife Lady Jane, opened in Feb 2008.</p>

<p>Fang is renowned for its orange production, thermal springs and the marvelous Highway 1249 to Doi Ang Khang. There is also a Night Market every Tuesday, which draws people from far and wide.</p>
