== Hitching out ===== West toward [[Phang-Nga]]Hitchhiking around Chiang Mai is easy, [[Phuket]] ===mainly due to the Songathews. These are red or yellow roofed pick up trucks that function as public busesthat will take you for small cash

=== East or South towards [[Trang]]Get to the outside of the North gate of the old city, [[Hat Yai]]this is technically where the highway starts. Walk a couple of minutes until you see yellow Songathews headed for Mae Rim. Jump in it and ride it as far as you want (you can get dropped off anywhere - gas stations, for example). The road to Pai/Mae Hong Son is preceeded by a road sign written "Pai". You can hop off there and stick your thumb out for a quick ride. There may not be many cars but the ones that pass at least go to Pai.[[SatunUser:Wondrlust|Wondrlust]] ===took it to the very end and hitched from there. It didn't take long to get a lift.

Get to Warorot Market (East of the Old Town) and find the yellow Songathew headed to Doi Saket.[[User:Wondrlust|Wondrlust]] got off before the Songathew entered Doi Saket and found a ride quickly.  ===Hitchhiking South ([[Bangkok]], [[Mae Sot]], [[Phitsanulok]]) = Hitching in ==If your driver just passes KrabiThis is probably the trickiest hike, he will drop you but should still be relatively easy. Get to Warorot Market (East of the Old Town) and get on the main yellow Songathew headed to Saraphi. The problem is that the Songathew doesn't go along the highway (11), it takes a secondary local road (106). You need to calculate getting off at the point where this road outside of townand the highway get closest. But there are [[User:Wondrlust|Wondrlust]] missed this point and had to get a lot motorbike taxi to drop him off at the highway.  Alternatively you can take a red Songathew / Tuk Tuk to the Big C at the outskirts South of buses that the city. This will take get you straight to the centre for a few Bahthighway, but it may be too close to the city and it will be more expensive.
