My eyes tell me there is a paved road ahead, according to both my GPS maps there is no road ahead

It definitel exists and as it doesnt show on the maps I have no idea where it goes

This giant km marker is outside a locked gate which appears to have a restaurant inside so maybe this is the menu

If its the menu it needs to be something special for 1985 Baht

This will be a tight squeeze, I only passed this tractor about 10 minutes earlier going in the opposite direction on another road so that tells me this is a through track.
If I hadnt have known it went through I would have turned back a bit further on as it got rough and didnt look like a through track

I could have got the Wave across but I walked over first and there was no way out
IMG_2444.JPG
Totally dry that way
IMG_2445.JPG
Only a small puddle the other way

I have stopped at the end of the wide asphalt road, here its back to unpaved.
I wonder if the asphalt will be extended to the 101

In the middle of those trees on the peak is the Buddah image I can see from the 5085, next ride here I hope to ride up to it
