In this movie im entering the mountain from Mae Rim (counter-clockwise) and end up at Hang Dong 88 km later. Im starting at Pa Tan area near the super highway.
If you going on bicycle be prepared that counter-clockwise is the hard way. The way up to the viewpoint is OK, but then you have 2 more hardcore mountains to climb and they are extremely hard when you entering from this way. The last one have a grade over 31%!
