Duean cooks in this restaurant monday to friday then on saturdays she teaches English to the local children.
Her daughter soon lost her shyness and has mastered English very well for a five year old, answering all the colours correctly of her plastic teapot and cups

After a pleasant two hours there (hopefully) helping her students with correct pronounciation it was time to ride on and enjoy the curves of the 1081

Back at Santisuk I take the 1225 to Mae Charim
IMG_0913.JPG
I spot a bridge and the track isnt on the GPS map so I investigate it

A slightly bent bridge

The track goes through the rubber trees then carries on for a long way

Finally stopping here
IMG_0921.JPG
I ride back and before reaching the 1225 take a right which also looks like becoming a dead end
IMG_0922.JPG

IMG_0923.JPG
Then it gets a bit more used and must go to the 1225
IMG_0924.JPG

IMG_0925.JPG
My escape, I had already decided to ride through the river if necessay to avoid the long return the way I came in
IMG_0926.JPG
The bridge was perfect for the Wave, up until I found this track I was determined to stay on the paved surface today
