Distance 216 km
Plenty of workers in the fields this morning
It was sunny as I rode out of town then quickly clouded over and was a bit chilly but thankfully this was shortlived and the sun was soon out again plus the temperature rose
Virtually every bike here is a Honda Wave
I dont understand why people take the fully enclosed chainguard off, even with offroad riding I am finding the chain retains its lubricant and I seldom need to spray it
The twisty shortcut I found yesterday going to the 118
The sad view of the Mai Suai dam when its not overflowing
I found these two shots from a few years ago of how it should look from the top. I have some somewhere from the ground too but I cant locate them at the moment.
Hopefully this view will available again if they fix the damage above
Yesterday I noticed a bridge as I looked across the reservoir from the dam but no tracks show on either Auke's or the OSM map so today I explore and find this unmapped paved road
It runs alongside the reservoir
Finally I reach the bridge
This is a short ride after crossing the bridge
At the end of the paved road is this at N19.68602 E099.52042
These
And some stairs which luckily were in the shade and it was a pleasant climb
No sign of any regular visitors here
Nothing to climb those steps for
Phrawihan Trai Lak Sana Khun Phut Sathan Cave is what the ESRI GPS map says is here
I venture inside but as I dont have a torch I dont go far and just take a few photos using the flash.
It would be foolish to do anything risky here as I doubt anyone will be coming to help me out
As I ride back over the bridge I take the unpaved track to the right as it looked the better one
Unfortunately it didnt go very far
The other track was steep and rutted for a while
Then I found this gut attending to the rubber trees and he confirmed I could get back to Mae Suai this way
Just past him the track became a lot easier
Once I saw that car I knew the paved road was getting very close
As I stop for my lunch this lot come riding past
Its now a pleasant ride along the 3037 on a warm sunny day
Now descending to get back on the 1089
A new restaurant for me tonight
N19.90339 E099.83294
Chicken and cashewnuts with rice, this was the large size which was 120 Baht and well worth it too, standard size is 90 Baht, I Was well impressed with the flavour
Add 10 Baht for rice for both dishes
