Through Doi Inthanon to Mae Chaem

[richardb]

Hi
I am thinking of "cutting" through the park, missing off the southern end of the MHS loop. Is this a foolish idea?
Also looking at a road trip report it seems like there may be roadworks (or a shut Road) on this route.

Is there a website which has information about roadworks/closures?

Thanks for any info
Richard

The road 1263 will be no trouble.
It is in as good condition as it ever has been.
