The GT Rider Mae Hong Son Loop Memorial ride in honour of departed riders is in its 8th year this year.
Originally we started with a couple of plaques & 100 year rose bushes for TJ & Simon, planted at Wat Chong Klang by the lake in Mae Hong Son.

In 2012 we added Dan White's ashes & another plaque.
Dan White RIP
In 2016 we have Tom Forde's ashes.

The set up we have at Wat Chong Klang is now unsatisfactory & we need to do something better.
After a meeting with the monks & abbot at Wat Doi Kong Mou, overlooking Mae Hong Son we have been granted permission to erect a proper GT Rider Memorial chedi at the very top of the hill, below the communication towers & above Wat Doi Kong Mou.
There is a small wat at the very top
behind the wat on the west sunset side there is a plot we have been granted permission to build a chedi
In the next few weeks we will endeavour to have a chedi ready for the 8th annual ride on the 5-6th November.
We would like some feed back on some designs we are considering.
Sensible comments on the below are invited.
Which style do you prefer?
Chedi 1
Chedi 2
Chedi 3
Chedi 4
Chedi 5
Chedi 6
As time goes by we can add additional ashes from more GT Riders, who have ridden the North & contributed to GTR.
Anyone who wishes to assist with the cost of building the chedi - 1.8 metres high - is welcome to contribute.
