Samoeng Viewpoint 2007
Samoeng is a small town South-West of Chiang Mai that lends its name to the famous "Samoeng Loop", a 85 km (55 mile) motorbike ride in the vicinity of Chiang Mai. Sunsets can never be observed in Chiang Mai as Doi Suthep Mountain blocks the view to the West. The Samoeng viewpoint is a spot for observing sunsets and also for astronomical observations at night.
