Total distance 154 km
Photos and text last to first
Chicken and basil 40 Baht
Just before reaching Mae La Noi the front tyre goes down very quickly, this guy puts a patch on the inner tube and I am soon on my way minus the 20 Baht repair bill
That is well wired together
At the top and back on double track again
The single track that will get me back to Mae Nga
Back at the track and I have company, he seems amazed that I am going home in the direction that I am travelling but I tell him it does go through to Mae Nga, he is from Huai Hom
I must try to visit here as early as possible upon my return to Mae Sariang
Some of these pools are quite deep and there are small fish in them
I stop at the canyon on the Mae La Noi river and walk down to it
Now to ride back
The track splits and I take the unmapped one which goes for a fair way then ending at this shelter
They meet up just after the water crossing that I rode through yesterday
The tracks run parallel but on opposite sides of the river
Now to explore the other bridge I saw yesterday
I link up with yesterdays track at this bridge
A nursery for coffee trees
To think that I always thought Huai Hom was a dead end, I should have explored these tracks years ago but its doubtful I would have linked up the single tracks on the 250, the 150 is so much easier to manoeuvre and get out of trouble
This can be seen from a few places I have been riding recently, its not far from Huai Hom but the village itself cant be seen from those places, its well obscured
Almost back in Huai Hom
I am not alone, he is from Huai Hom and despite being famous for coffee they do have other things here too
I wonder if that blue pipe is for water
This track takes me to nearly join with a track I was on a week ago, I wondered at the time where the other track came out
Drinking water for the locals I guess
Time to turn around
This certainly isn't the way
Now to explore tracks going out to try to link up with yesterdays ride
In Huai Hom
I thought I would call in and complain about the fact that every time I go there to buy coffee they offer me a cup of it but never have any milk to put in it but I couldn't find anyone here to complain to
It doesn't go far and finding coffee along here isn't surprising
A new short single track just before the Huai Hom turning
48,000 km on the KLX and its an oil, oil filter and air filter change, looking at the air filter I guess the dusty tracks have taken their toll, 425 Baht all in, labour included
