A wire stretches right across the river to trees on both sides and red ants are scurrying back and forth along its entire length

The track takes me to the track running alongside the Mae Ngao river creating a new loop

In the fifth village and here I am told to carry on and I can get back to Mae Sariang, this was what I was hoping to hear but after a very short distance the track turned to single track but luckily only for a short while.
It joined a double track that linked at the top of the village

Riding into the Mae Ngao NP and a lot of Thais in a large group with 4WDs
 
Some very interesting stuff still to be found in that area Colin, thanks.
 
Yes lots of it still out in that area Bob, I wasn't expecting to make a loop today and annoyingly I missed a village just before my fifth village on that loop.
Another trip to get it will be needed but I can incorporate that with other exploring
