Distance 109 km
Burmese workers weeding the fields
Totally dry dusty tracks now, its not a problem on this type of surface as its not bulldust
That single/walking track goes nowhere and I skip it
A happy couple
There are yellow bananas out here Roger
The stench from that disgusting fruit is overpowering even from where I am stopped
I wonder what this is like out on these dirt tracks
Back on a nice piece of asphalt for a while
Never far from an irrigation duct
Riding over the weir on the Huay Mae Lamao
I guess this was the original overflow and was only passable in the dry season, the river is as high as it can get now and no water can get to this older weir
As I am sitting in a shelter having my lunch I see a bike going up that steep loose stone hill I have just rode down
I watch the bike come back down very slowly
This track concludes everything heading east off the 4047
The Huai Mae Cha Rao
Tobacco growing here
I ride to where I had a good adventure on the KLX 250 6 or 7 years ago when I rode through there and over the mountains, I remember getting wet feet on a cold morning back then
Back from the river about 200 metres I saw a track going up alongside the one I took so I check it out and it runs parallel to the river
I can hear a revving engine and through the trees can see a lorry stuck in the river
I watched for a few minutes but no forward movement of the stuck lorry was achieved
There is a bridge here now which means the two water crossings are no longer necessary
A track runs north alongside the river and I follow it to the river crossing
A Honda Wave comes down
And just glides through the water, I leave this track for another day as time is getting on
Back in Mae Sot and a bit of a commotion roadside with a lot of squealing going on
I guess somehow the pig got out of the truck and is none too eager to be put back in
The other one sits patiently waiting
Finally porky is picked up and put squealing into the back of the truck
My usual eatery is shut today so Mughal has to provide tonights food, chicken jalfreizi and rice 139 Baht
