Heading east of town I was happy to get off the straight 1317 and onto the quieter bendy roads

A dirt track that isnt on Auke's map needed exploring

Taking a break whilst his chilli plants are having their thirst quenched

This section wasnt on any of my GPS maps and the airplane needed investigating

I certainly didnt expect to find this out here.

The Huai Lan reservoir is disappointingly low again

I ride over this which is not much lower than the overflow and the water level is well down from maximum

It was rather busy here today with singing going on from some of the guys fishing, it was possibly alcohol induced singing by the sound of it though

Meandering through the side roads coming back from the reservoir I pass this guy at work

All things bamboo here

A road showing as an unpaved track following the canal is now fully paved here so I try it out as I havent been along here before
IMG_8914.JPG

After quite a few km it turns to unpaved
IMG_8915.JPG

Less than 1 km and its paved again

An unpaved side track going off of it gets rode as well

A rack of ribs and chips at 3 Little Pigs 350 Baht, really succulent delicious ribs too, these are the dogs bollocks
The menu says they weigh 1 kg before being cooked, the dogs at my GH thoroughly enjoyed the bones too
