I knew the route was leading through the serpentines but I didn’t expect the driver to be driving as if we were being cased. I could relax because the curves were so sharp. Definitely take motionsickness pills, can recommend.

Rough trip between Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son, 5 hours in curves with an old van with few space and hard seats. The company is not responsible for the road, but it is for the vehicle and comfort, not sufficient here.
