I take the 1269 then take a left onto an unnumbered road that is paved to start with

It turns to dirt at N18.45.218 E098.52.013

Its certainly a bit twisty and sometime in the future when its paved it will be a nice motard route

I see an unexpected piece of new asphalt coming up

The asphalt starts at N18.44.837 E098.51.917

I reach the 4037 and an asphalt surface at N18.42.544 E098.51.282 only to spot that I was not following the track on my gps but a new unmarked one so I backtrack a bit to ride the other one

This track is dirt to where it meets the 4037 at N18.41.918 E098.51.850

I turn right onto the 4037 and ride towards the Ob Kahn NP

This water was completely blanketed in that green sludge, I threw a large rock in which temporarily made a clearing but it was swiftly covered again

The surface turned to dirt at N18.44.254 E098.49.639 and from then on it was a mixture of dirt, dust and concrete

When I last rode here in november I could hear the sound of cascading water and today I want to find its source
DSCF2403.jpg

But I dont fancy riding across that
DSCF2404.jpg

I walk over and go for a look around but no luck here, I can hear it but not reach it
DSCF2405.jpg


DSCF2406.jpg

I need to get further downstream but on the other side so its backtrack a bit to before I crossed the river

Finally I locate it

This two stroke was struggling to get up the hill with these two aboard

DSCF2420.jpg

On the way back I spot this, I dont fancy climbing those steps so I look for an access road
DSCF2422.jpg


DSCF2423.jpg

I manage to ride right up to it at N18.38.697 E098.48.615

Some new roads and sights today, now to go and eat

Another stromboli for 169 Baht at Pizza N Pasta, simply delicious and the nicest food Steven does in my opinion
