3-12-18 Nan, New Offroad Tracks Off The 4004

[Captain_Slash]

Distance 100 km

Not far along the 4004 and I take this unpaved track

Which quickly becomes this for a loop

Then its back on the dirt again





Annoyingly this track stops here and doesnt take me through to the 4004 so its backtracking time











That cow has its head firmly in the well





Tamarind tree but the fruit wasnt ripe

This track gets a bit overgrown





Do I risk it or not? the Wave went through easily

100 metres later though its this so its back through the mud again





Very dry dusty tracks now



I dont need too much of that, luckily there was a side track here to explore which gave the dust time to settle









I stop here for a drink and the track gets a bit busy with traffic, thankfully only bikes though





Quite a large kiln for making the charcoal





Ideal for these tracks

The happy quad bike owner













Surprised to find this out here

Riding back over the Nan river

A new restaurant for me tonight, Who ar is how I hear it said, its at N18.76733 E100.78072

Plenty of seating in all categories



Air con room

Chicken and cashewnuts 80 Baht plus 5 Baht for the rice, its the best of this meal that I have eaten in Nan so far.
The fly on the plate was quite impressed with the rice too

"Who ar" is not bad for a pronunciation of the restaurant name. But there are 4 words in the restaurant sign. The last two roughly pronounced as "led lot" mean "very good taste". Seems it lives up to its name. A good find!

Seems you have it a tad cooler up north, lucky man. Here in Kan we've had two days over 36C and no breeze. Never known it so hot in December.

Thanks Roger, yes I heard them say the last two words at the restaurant as well but didnt get what they meant as friends had told me the restaurant was called Who ar.

Its warmer here than it should be in december too
