Welcome to your exclusive Budget World Class Drive.
CHIANG MAI –
SUKHOTHAI LOOP
The finest old wooden temples, World Heritage historical parks, untamed jungle,
rugged mountainous scenery and hill-tribes in the remote reaches of north-western
Thailand await you on this tour.
T
his Worldclass Drive takes you
south to the city of Lampang
before going on to the historical birthplace of the Thai Kingdom at
Sukhothai. From there the full tour goes
west to the border town of Mae Sot, a
colourful ethnic crossroads.
A special tour goes south to the
boundary of Thailand’s last remaining
extensive reserve of primary forest.
There the remote district town of Umphang is the base for eco-adventure
into the jungle for two days or more.
From Mae Sot the return route
follows the Thai-Myanmar border
north-west along the Moei River
through country populated by the
Karen. Striking karst scenery is followed by a pass through mountainous
country to the Yuam River Valley and
Mae Sariang. Turning north-east, the
route crosses a major watershed
before entering the valley of the River
Ping and passing the highest mountain in Thailand en route back to
Chiang Mai.
The full tour programme takes five
days, but this can be shortened by
returning to Chiang Mai directly from
Sukhothai on alternative routes. This
tour also offers scenic and cultural
alternatives to the northern section of
the busy main highway between
Chiang Mai and Bangkok.
ACCOMMODATION
The raw distance for each day’s
drive is fairly short, allowing time for
stops along the way as well as for sidetrips. Destinations for each night, there-
4
fore, are flexible. The listings here only
include the best places to stay along
the routes. The main towns usually
have local hotels (see maps) for
commercial travellers, some of which
have more expensive rooms or suites.
The rooms in many of these hotels are
often satisfactory, though basic. Full
price indications for accommodation
are listed as follows:
(1500-3000 Baht)
(500-1500 Baht)
(500 Baht or less)
Major credit cards are accepted by
the up-market hotels and restaurants,
but otherwise you will need
cash for the small, remote
places along the route.
MAPS, KEY POINTS
AND INFORMATION
The maps in this booklet have been
specially researched and prepared for
this tour. Key Points along the route
indicate important road junctions. A
useful addition as a general map of
Northern Thailand, however, is the
“Thailand North” map published by
Berndtson & Berndtson. Visitors will
also find invaluable a good guide book
providing cultural background and
more comprehensive information.
TOUR PROGRAM
WHEN TO GO
DAY 1
Chiang Mai - Lampang
The peak season runs
from mid-November till after
the Chinese New Year (at the
end of the first lunar month
of the calendar year) and
rises again for the Songkran
festival (Thai New Year) in
mid-April. Advance booking
is necessary for peak periods.
Warm clothing is needed
for cold temperatures in
upland areas, especially
between November and
March. The rainy season
(July-September) offers turbulent skies and clearer
visibility over the rugged
landscape, not to forget low
season discounts of 50% or
more on accommodation.

The Thai Elephant Conservation Centre and Wat Phrathat Lampang Luang, the
finest example of a Northern Thai temple, are highlights in a day’s drive that goes
south to Lampang, a historical city on the banks of the Wang River.
KEY POINT ONE
1
outlined in this guide, you will still have
to start early in order to visit Lamphun
(alternative route) as well as catch the
11:00 show at the Thai Elephant Conservation Centre (ST.1). Many temples
can be visited on this tour, however,
and you may find it better to leave a
visit to Lamphun for your return. Turn
left off Highway 1 to enter Lampang
City (see city map).
Lampang was formerly known as
Khelang and has been in existence
since before the 14th century. The
ruling house of this city fought for
independence from the Burmese in the
18th century and established an
H11 to Lampang and Om Muang

autonomous northern vassal state
centred on Chiang Mai, which was
finally incorporated into the Kingdom
of Siam in the late 19th century.
The old wooden trading buildings
along the river front have been wellpreserved in the Talat Kao area on the
south banks. The commercial south
part of the town can be seen in a tour
by horse and cart starting from in front
of the provincial office.
On the northern banks remnants
of the old city walls enclose spacious
compounds and temples. A large teak
house built in 1885 called Ban Sao Nak
is open to the public (10:00-17:00), and
Burmese style buildings are found at
both Wat Phra Kaew Ton Taew and
Wat Pongsanuk Tai. Wat Chum Si and
Wat Si Rong Muang south of the river
are also Shan-Burmese in style.
For dining in the evening the river
front offers several good restaurants
and pubs; recommended is the Huan
Chom Wang (17:00-22:30).

town is also known as Hat

weave of the people of Lao
Phuan descent. Looms can
be seen beneath houses in the
nearby villages, especially to
the north across the river. The
Sathorn Gold Textile Museum
(08:00-18:00) provides an
interesting opportunity to
appreciate and buy some of
the delicate work. Good
restaurants for lunch are
available in town.
Study the map of the Si
Satchanalai-Sawankhalok and
Sukhothai areas to determine
your route and how far you
want to go for the day. The
fastest route to the Sukhothai
Historical Park is via little used
H1305 and H1113 (approx 52
kms.). The turn off south-west
onto H1305 is south of KM.2
on the road that follows
the west bank of the
Yom River, but it is
unmarked (except
for a wooden
sign to Si Satchanalai National
Park-the return
journey to the
park waterfalls
is 100 kms.).
H101 is the
main route from

may be made to

to visit the kiln sites (left side of

Si Satchanalai National Park
occupies a peaceful site on the
banks of the Yom River, and the
nearby Suwanthanas Resort is
good for a meal if not to stay

becoming part of the Kingdom of
Sukhothai that King Ramkhamhaeng
built up at the end of the 13th century.
Thai history books attribute to this
kingdom the foundation of the independent (from the northern Tai, Khmer
and Mon) Siamese Tai kingdoms that
evolved into present day Thailand. At

distance 186 kms), or you may take
the less busy route H106 via Li.
This will allow you to return either
via Lamphun, visiting Wat Bang

kms — see alternative route on
Day 1), or via Doi Tao using H1103
to Key Point 17 in Hod, rejoining
the full tour (257 kms. see Day 5).
The first (approx.) 30 kms. of
H106 to Li has many bends and is

SAFE DRIVING
IN THAILAND
THAI ROADS
All main and most minor
roads are sealed. Warning
signs and reflective arrows
mark sharp corners, while temporary signs mark hazards like
landslides and road works
(these can be extensive where
upgrading is in process). Main
intersections are illuminated
with sodium lighting. The
government is firmly in control of the whole country and
highway robbery has been
unheard of for many years.
ROAD SIGNS AND
KILOMETRE STONES
Bilingual (English/Thai)
road signs indicate destinations
and route numbers before
intersections, and show the
road number and the distance
to the next main destination
after the intersection. Kilometre markers show the road
number and distance down
the road on the front face. Distances to the next destination
in the direction of travel are
found on the side of the stone.

not drive fast just after dusk as
lots of local traffic is returning
to the villages. Many traffic
accidents happen at this time
in Thailand! Be careful of
oncoming vehicles with one
light — they may not be
motorcycles! Night driving is
not recommended.

24 hour service stations
are found on main routes and
All drivers must hold a
current, non-probationary
license. The license may either
be Thai, or from the renter’s
country of residence (with an
English translation), or an
international driver’s permit.
Licenses (and a valid passport)

at the major towns, but rural
stations will close in the
evening. Prices are around 13
baht a litre, and gas stations
will require cash.
ROAD RULES
The maximum speed limit
is 60 kph in town and 90 kph
on highways, if you can
believe it! Seat belts should be
worn and driving while drunk
is illegal.
R
If possible leave your
vehicle where it came to rest,
(so that police can apportion
blame for the accident) and
contact the police as soon as
possible. Dial 191 for a toll free
call to the local police or 1699
for the tourist police. Make
sure injured parties get to a
hospital as soon as possible
(other Thais will often take
care of this) and set up warnings for other drivers ( placing
branches of trees on the road);
then contact Budget. Stay with
your vehicle and take care of
your valuables!
DRIVING ON DIRT
ROADS
Dirt Roads go all over the
mountains, but even Thais can
get lost in the maze of crossroads, so taking a guide
(approx. 500 Baht/day) for
remote roads is advisable.
The tracks are steep and
narrow and very tricky in the
rainy season. If you plan an
overnight trip on a dirt road
trip take the following: torch,
candles and matches, warm
clothes (especially in winter),
water, dry food, insect repellent, and a full tank of gas.
Drive very slowly to prevent
mechanical problems from
stranding you.
Happy safe driving!

Most drivers in Thailand
are reasonable, if not a little
selfish for they tend to give
way little. Be car eful of
oncoming vehicles that overtake and force you to take to
the hard shoulder. Be ready to
go onto the hard shoulder at a
moment’s notice, especially on
corners and hills! Be careful of
vehicles entering from side
roads, which may not stop.
