In
the morning of Day 9, we did some oiling for the chains and then headed for Pai
– Mae Malai – Fang – Mae Suai – Chiang Rai. It was a long ride. Half of the day
was rain and another half, the sun shines. When it rained, mist limited my vision and I felt cold as we were ascending higher and higher. God knows how glad I am when finally I saw
the glimpse of sun rays in between the tree leaves. The road condition was not
as good as yesterday’s ride, and not as bad as the previous ride to Mae
Sariang. However, the curve was scarier than ever. I kept reminding myself to
relax, take slow but deep breath and blow it out slowly. This method helped me
to release my tense. I saw some villagers taking their dogs on their pickup
truck. I have never seen this in Malaysia
The view from Fang to Mae Suai is very beautiful. Green and brown
coloured valleys with corn field dominated the way. However, I didn't take any pic as I am rushing to get to Chiang Rai. I was very tired but the
ride must be done. We arrived Chiang Rai, the popular tourist town around 8.30pm , covering approximately
410kms in about 11 hours. Its very slow, I know….but being unskillful, I’m doing the best that I can.
