6-11-18 Chiang Mai, The Huai Nam Plik Reservoir

[Captain_Slash]

Distance 90 km

I took the 1006 out to San Kamphang and was surprised to see so many more sets of traffic lights along this road, finally I was away from buildings and can see scenery

This track shows on the ESRI map so I investigate

Its overgrown rather than a singletrack

Finally getting a bit clearer, until partway along its only being used by motorbikes

Now its a well used track

Along the 3044 canal road

An offshoot that I explore

Lots of tracks going off the 3044 but I dont have time today to explore them

Now on the track to the reservoir that shows on the GPS map as unpaved but its now fully paved until about 500 metres before the dam

This one is a few metres below capacity

Back on the 3044

An interesting way of letting the water through

Nam Nong Bua at Doi Saket

Indian style chicken curry and brown rice at Kanjana 105 Baht

The local Council had/has huge plans showing a concept development idea for the entire Lakes area.
