Join the GT Riders as we roll out from Tammila Guesthouse in Chiang Khong and push up into the dramatic peaks of Doi Pha Tang!
Rising high above Chiang Rai Province along the Thai-Laos border, Doi Pha Tang isn’t just famous for its breathtaking ridge views and sweeping mountain twisties—it carries a heavy history.
In decades past, these rugged peaks were a battleground between Communist insurgents and KMT (Kuomintang) anti-Communist forces.
Today, it offers one of the best motorcycle routes in northern Thailand: steep climbs, technical curves, rich history, and unbeatable views across the Mekong valley into Laos.
