Not being a fan of buses or minivans, especially Thai visa run minivans, I decided to ride my scooter from Chinag Mai to Mae Sai for my latest visa run to Myanmar. The direct route takes you on the 118 and the 1 highway which is fast, but not particularly scenic, so I took the much longer yet much more scenic route stopping a night in Fang, and a night in Chiang Rai.
