Dirt starts again at N18.53143 E099.10399 and then carries on off the GPS joining up with a track I was on earlier today and reaching the paved surface at N18.53752 E099.10802

More dirt from N18.53978 E099.10531 to N18.54451 E099.10512 where I reach the Sri Bua Ban Reservoir.
From here its a short stint on asphalt with further dirt sections from
N18.53689 E099.09533 to N18.53651 E099.08668 and
N18.53512 E099.08644 to N18.52867 E099.09218.
On the ride back towards home the GPS shows the road stopping at around N18.56136 E099.07051 and here it just finishes at a field so I turn back taking a left and the surface turns to dirt at N18.55721 E099.07226

Along this dirt track I reach a locked gate at N18.55906 E099.07589, fortunately someone has knocked a concrete post down and cut the barbed wire so there is a gap about 1.5 metres wide to get through

A much heavier locked gate where the surface turns to paved at N18.56682 E099.07217
