Samoeng loop on scooter — beginner realistic?

Arm T.· Local · 4h

Intermediate only — 100+ km, tight curves, trucks on blind corners. IDP mandatory; checkpoints at Mae Rim. Start 7am, clockwise Mae Rim → Samoeng → Hang Dong, back by 3pm. No rain rides — roads slick. Better than Pai curves for a day loop. Stop at Mon Jam viewpoint if open. Bali experience helps but CM traffic is left-side and slower trucks. Full tank before leaving.
