The route 1020, 1155, 1222, 1021, 1148, 1080
Total distance 324 km
I mentioned about my bike being covered up by the guest house owner, today I could hardly see it
I reckon the next step is for the owner to offer to put it inside their lounge
A few km out of town and I take a left on a new wide dirt road and here I assume is the start of the new bridge over the Mekong
According to my gps if I ride on towards the Mekong I can find my way to the 1155
So I navigate my way on this very foggy morning to an asphalt road
The Mekong and I now have the pleasure of riding high up in that fog
I ride on but the road stops at a river with no way across so its back towards Chiang Khong for me
A very quiet market with no customers
Finally back on the 1020 and I spot this crab in the middle of a fairly busy dual carriageway, I put him across then ride on
The brilliant 1155 and the fog has gone
That red building is not something that I have seen before this trip around here
A very new crematorium by the look of it
I take a left onto the 1222 then a left onto the 1021 then at Chiang Kham ride on ahead and I am now on the start of the brilliant 1148
A few km out from Chiang Kham and the fun begins, its a good surface from start to finish
Theres actually a vehicle in this picture, not much traffic at all along here today
Lots of chillies growing along the roadside
That lovely twisty road
I score my first kill of the season, the silly dog couldnt make up its mind which way to go.
It was a tricky situation for me as I was going down a fairly steep hill and tried braking but just released the brakes and hoped for the best.
I felt the dog crunch under both the wheels and thankfully it appeared to die instantly, the mighty Phantom wins again
I ride on enjoying todays trip enormously and no more incidents, at the end of the 1148 its a right onto the 1080 to Nan.
I check in at my usual the Amazing Guest House at N18.47.501 E100.47.053
Then its time to eat, I had this large breakfast at Tonys Place, bacon, eggs, fried bread, sausage, white pudding, fries, mushrooms, fried onions and beans for 150 Baht and boy was I stuffed.
Tonys Place is at N18.47.924 E100.47.443 so if you want a real breakfast rather than the plastic ham and lukewarm scrambled eggs of the Dhevaraj then try here.
