A double portion of spicy chicken curry at the Muslim restaurant 60 Baht





There was more water in the Mae La Noi river further upstream, I guess its been diverted for irrigation

The single track that will take me back to Mae La Noi



In Mae Sapung and a dry water crossing now

The end of the track and its looking dry apart from some green crop areas up in the hills

A bit more single track found





Looking down on Mae Sapung Kum



That steep concrete path links the double track to the suspension bridge





A water crossing to reach Mae Sapung Kum





These didn't want to move for me or the truck following



Not much water here at the edge of the village











Mae Sapung Tai through the trees





A bit further north and some concrete is being laid down, short sections have been paved since I mapped this track a few years back

The track soon finishes

A short bit of single track







Another place that will be interesting to see in early november



A couple of rides through the Mae La Noi river today



Its looking very dry ahead



Heading north of Mae Nga

I looked at your pictures of the last few days and it looks like that the haze situation is not to bad where you ride unlike in other places where the haze is quite bad.
