R106 runs from Chiang Mai to Lamphun to Li to Thoen.
R1048 runs from Thoen to Sawankhalok.

Sawankhalok is a classic old town.
Watch out for biting dog at the old railway station.

If you look closer on Google maps and their Google Earth you will find the answer (its 106)

It seems R1048 was the former roadnumber for that road:

ทางหลวงแผ่นดินหมายเลข 1048 - วิกิพีเดีย

th.wikipedia.org

Highway No. 1048 Don Chai - Sawankhalok is a former highway with 2 and 4 lanes (in Thung Saliam Subdistrict Municipality) connecting traffic between Thoen District, Lampang Province to Sawankhalok District, Sukhothai Province, allowing for more convenient and faster travel. The total distance is 92.319 kilometers. This route is winding along the mountainside, especially near Thoen District, which is very steep. Currently, it is combined with Highway No. 106 Sawankhalok - Umong[1]
