We call in to see a friend who owns a resort here in Mae Sariang and get invited to dinner on wednesday, turkey was mentioned as being on the menu so possibly there might only be two of them here running about then

Thank you so for all your ride reports Colin, this one struck a special chord as in that area pictured we camped several times over the years as a base to fish the River.
