Doi Miang

Let's just start off by saying this place is not for inexperienced people to ride to or for scooters to attempt. We came here for sunset on a CB500X and the road was breathtaking yet somewhat scary. Broken pavements , dirt tracks , steep u-turns and crazy angles going both upwards and downwards. Closing time is 6pm but the gate remains open. Make sure you are comfortable with your riding skills if coming for sunset as the road gets even crazier in the dark. If it's raining then simply do not attempt it, the chance of sliding down (or up really ) is quite high . The place itself is beautiful and serene with crisp winds blowing over as the sun sets. You can drive a bit higher to the next viewpoint if you have time. It is extremely clean and you quickly find yourself surrounded by trees that tower over you like giants. There are cafes and toilets available but don't expect any food or drinks after 6pm. It really was a once in a lifetime experience and we are glad we did it . However, at the same time, we are really glad we decided to stay at Pambock cafe the day before when it started raining. This place doesn't really have a proper road to drive on. For those who want to make their way here , just follow the road all the way and don't worry about Google maps, eventually you will come to a junction that's not on Google maps with signs pointing right to start your crazy climb to the viewpoint. All the best and be safe people!

What an adventure! I took a scooter to get up there. Its a bit dangerous, so be carefull! The last meters upwards only by foot possible. Or with a motorcross 😅😅 stunning view and peaceful nature. Great experience. And its for free! :) take enough water with you

Rode to the top of Doi Miang December 2025. The view is less than spectacular, but the ride up and down is where the fun is at. Best done on a motorcycle where you can shift gears to slow your decent. The makeshift concrete road is broken away in most places and filled with pot holes and deep crevices. The road is also covered in many spots with the local sandy red soil making traction an issue going up, and braking coming down. Even the 155 cc scooters will have a hard time with a light person making it to the parking lot with the gate. A 250cc or bigger off road bike will get you to the summit viewpoint. My Honda 350cc scooter got me to the top, but struggled on the last 3 km stretch to the very top. Scooters cannot gear down, necessitating a great deal of brake input, increasing the chance of a front wheel slipping out in a rough or sandy corner. Only motorcycles and foot traffic are allowed beyond the gate. Unless you are a very experienced rider and have a bigger gear shifted bike, don't take a passenger, or risk a nasty crash.
