Distance 122 km
At the entrance to Singha Park and lots of people here as usual
Now on the road to Doi Chang which will soon get very steep
Doi Chang reservoir
An overflowing reservoir like we want to see, I noticed water was flowing in from a river
I can ride through water now without the bike conking out unlike on the KLX
Now for the long climb up
It steadily cools down and at the peak its decidedly chilly
At 1564 metres its a different world to what it was like in Chiang Rai
As I start to descend towards Doi Chang the fog soon goes and its a bit warmer
Doi Chang through the trees
She is well wrapped up from the cold
I dont envy those kids in that cold water
Coffee beans being dried
Those beans look like something is sticking them together, I have my suspicions on what it is
At Doi Chang Coffee Farm and I buy a 1 kg for 350 Baht, I cant imagine many people only buy 500 gm for 250 Baht when for an extra 100 Baht you can have 1 kg
This cup of coffee is a work of art
Now for the more scenic ride down to Mae Suai
Coffee trees everywhere up here
Ridgeline riding coming up
The tail end of the Mae Suai reservoir
I ride up to the dam and was expecting to see water flowing over like is normal here and its a beautiful sight too with the white water cascading down, but today sadly its not happening.
It looks like some serious damage has been done here and we can no longer walk over the dam
Hopefully it will be restored to its former glory soon
Riding back along the 118 I noticed a paved road going off to my left that said Singha Park and wasn't on Auke's map.
It looked like it would go in the right direction to join up with the 1211 and it did, cutting out going further along the 118 then doubling back along the 1211, a useful find
The rabbit at my accommodation enjoying its meal
Beef Massaman and rice at a Muslim restaurant in town, 75 Baht
