I took the 107 to Mae Rim then the 1096 and for the first 35 km from my GH it is a shit boring journey with non stop slow moving traffic, I dont know if that was because its a sunday or simply thats what its like these days

Once past all the traffic and things improved a lot

The muddy water is a contrast with the clear water from the river
