There are 2 most curves and turning, they are Chiangmai-Meahongson road and the Measord-Um-Phang road. The first road has 1864 curves , and  the second road has only 1219 curves but it is more beautiful views than the first because of both sides of the road  is foggy along the way, which is distant about 164 kilometers. Today we will go to Thee Lor Su waterfall then to see the beautiful views of Roifa road or sky road before going to downstream through the fast waterfall there.

Nowadays, even though the way to Amper Um-Phang is better developed more than in the past , but  it’s still known as narrow,  and crisscross the mountain. If we would go for traveling Thee Lor Su waterfall at Um-Phang, we should go to Tak province early. The distant is 426 kilometers that use the time 5 hours.

After that we use the street No. 105 Tak-Measod. This street crisscrosses the high mountain range. When we reach Mea Sod, we will go on the Roifa road onroad No 1090 Measod - Um-Phang. This road has only 146 kilometers but the time for driving is 4 hours because of the street it ups and downs and  can not  go fast. The drivers need to try to keep left all the time for safety as there are some part of road are washed away.

We will talk a little bit about the street to Um-Phang as now we can go to Um-Phang just on Roifa roadto Um-Phang is Kronglan - Um-Phang or highway No 1117. In 2528 B.E this road was  for the purpose of moving and sending solders, polices weapons to purge the communist terroristsfor a while, terrorists became slowly distinct. Finally the  cabinet announced on 30 June 2530 to end building the road  the kilometer 115.
