23-12-18 Nan, New Tracks Off The 3012

[Captain_Slash]

Distance 107 km

At the turning of the unpaved track that goes to the charcoal making place I found a few days ago is this sign, it meant nothing to me at the time.

Next to it is this one, possibly concerning the coffee project I found two days ago, over to you Roger

Also there was this sign, in the top left hand corner I read about water management but it cant be seen in the photo











A lot of short dead ends to start with





Finally on a better track and its pretty much non stop link ups from now

More rubber seen today than anything else

These are a bit shy here but later on the girl in the hammock rides past while I am having my lunch, stops and wants to take a selfie with me, how could I refuse

She drops her friend off then rides back with someone else and takes the selfie

A busy track this one right now













Right next to water and they are in the field







They are concreting my tracks

Although they are only repairing bits today













New rice recently been planted

A happy smiling rubber tapper



Lots of different things growing here, strawberries at the back



Chicken cordon bleu, fries and salad at Crossroads 195 Baht

Ok Colin, that's an easy one for me this time.

If I were to say what is written there in Thai it would sound like this: "poom jye - coffee farm". Poom jye literally means "to be proud". So what the sign says is really "We are proud to present the Coffee Farm". It's my old "Thai Hotel" all over again!

"Poom" (although it's written as poom-ee) on its own means earth or land and is the same as the ending of Bangkok Airport - Suwarnapoom
