CHIANG MAI - THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE LOOP

INSTRUCTIONS

Go this way
umbered pointers listed in sequence in the direction of travel show you

Pointer number
N when you have to make turns along the recommended route. Some turns at
junctions (where English language signs are absent) will also include descrip-
3 and direction
of travel tions to help you visually check you go in the correct direction

Kilometre references are noted in
two ways:
H107 KM13 = Kilometre stone 13 is
the nearest kilometre marker on
Highway 107.
OdK13 = Kilometre 13 estimated by
vehicle odometer (allow for
variation).
KM99 A point of interest or side
trip off the route is located near this
kilometre point.
Zero odometer (reset odometer to
zero)! Most main roads have kilometre
stones and bilingual signs, but some-
times they are missing, and small coun-
try roads usually have no stones or
signs in English. Reset your odometer
(kilometre distance gauge) to zero to
help you follow directions when you
see this instruction.
Fill up with petrol! Remote coun-
try roads have no filling stations, or
only serve fuel from a drum (more ex-
pensive). Fill up with petrol at the point
of instruction to avoid running out of
fuel later on the recommended route.
Alternative route. (AR) There are
many roads to travel in Thailand. The
direction pointers follow recom-
mended routes that aim to give you a
variety of roads and scenery where
possible. Alternative route directions
show you where you may take your
own route using information found
only on the maps. Shorter alternative
routes are usually less interesting than
the recommended route.
4 WD Only! If you are driving a
vehicle that does not have 4 four wheel
drive, please do not take this route.
Follow the alternative route suggested
along a sealed highway.
Remember to always take enough
drinking water - allow for emergencies
Accommodation . Upper and
middle level places to stay are listed
with telephone numbers. Guest House
style accommodation is plentiful in the
main towns and is shown on maps in
rural areas. We strongly advise pre-
booking accommodation in the high
season and during festivals.
In order that we may continually
improve our service to our customers,
please advise us of errors or make sug-
gestions for these route information
sheets. You may do so to our office
staff or directly to <oliverh@loxinfo.
