11-2-19 Mae Sot, An Abandoned Resort In The Tracks

[Captain_Slash]

Distance 70 km



Dry dusty farm tracks today

Something tells me this one is about to end

Burmese workers along the track



No water in any of these



The road is quite busy as its the way to the Mae Kasa Waterfall











It feels like being in Malaysia, I am not accustomed to riding in palm plantations

Not all has been harvested

Lots of green bananas here but no yellow ones

Farmers out in the fields









This puzzles me





A resort out on the dusty tracks that is closed down

What a waste of investment money

Even the sign that was once 2 km away on the main road is put up here.
Perhaps this place was put up to attract tourists for the waterfall and surrounding attractions and failed to appeal



















A water bottling plant which I guess uses the water from the nearby Huay Mae Lamao









I drink the last of my Singha water and they refill the bottle for me, the cold Singha water was a lot nicer

The Huay Mae Lamao, here it is next to an ice making factory



Time for some lovely food from T&T Indian Food, Randeep delivers it to my guesthouse

Spicy pork masala 200 Baht

Bought these in town this morning for 20 Baht and some of them compliment the pork masala

I'll forgive you Colin for your lack of knowledge on banana cultivation. If you see yellow bananas growing they are way past it. You cut them green and they usually ripen in a few days depending on how hot it is. Alternatively you transport them green refrigerated.

I like your abandoned resort. They clearly thought "wil" was an acceptable abbreviation for village!
