Around Chiang Mai Thailand Route Map

Small group tour of the Chiang Mai-Mae Hong Son Loop, Thailand. Day 1 Around Chiang Mai:
Not wanting to take an early morning red-eye flight, we took an afternoon flight and arrived a day earlier than the rest of the tour group. Giving us half a day to explore Chiang Mai. The van picked us up from the airport, dropped us for a quick hotel check in AND we are off on the van again to go for a nice dinner and shopping after that; the girls could not be more delighted!

Our aborted cycling plans was from Khlong Thom to Krabi, stay a night there. Following day was suppose to be as ferry ride to the Kho Yao islands, with a night there to enjoy beach-lazing. After that it was another ferry to Phuket town. This aborted cycling route is shown in orange, and ferry rides in green. Click on ship icon to see the names of ferry terminals.
