The Route 1317, 1006, 1229, 2031, 4052, 4001, 1287, 1035, 4023, 2044, 4074, 4005, 3005, 118
Total distance 348 km
Spicy breakfast with egg today then its off for a longish ride
Just before the Khuntan train station and I am guessing this is where the landslip left the train line hanging in mid air a few months back
The Huay Nam Pep Waterfall
The km markers and blue signs now say this road is number 2017
At Hang Chat I take a left to ride towards Muang Pan on the smaller back roads
At the top of those hills is my destination later on this afternoon
A few spires are showing, I wont get right to the top but a good way up there by road
Some friendly locals in a village I ride through
The exercise bike doubles as support for the washing line
Kiew Ko Ma reservior
I ride back along the 1035 and take a right onto the 4023 then after a few hundres metres its a left onto this curvy unnumbered road that doesnt appear on either of my GPS maps and was only a dirt track when I rode to the temple in Jan 09
Getting closer although my destination is probably what can be seen on the far right of the photo and the lowest level ones
At the top the road splits and a new concrete section branches off to the right, it doesnt go far and heres where it ends, possibly a place to walk up to the summit if anybody should want to
Could someone translate please
I ride back a bit then take the left fork like I did before and park up at N18 44.942 E099 32.008 to walk a bit here at Wat Chalermprakiat
Its steeper than it looks
Great views from up here, has anybody else visited here as I dont remember anyone writing about it?
The closest I can get to the top is where I am standing
Now time to ride down again
That was there on my last visit
I try a different road on the way out and the surface turns to dirt at N18 44.841 E099 33.074 until N18 44.807 E099 33.607 where it becomes paved again
A good days riding so far but there has been heavy rain at times today in front of me and often the roads were soaking wet.
This was a nuisance riding back over the mountains along the 4074 as it was a bit slippery
A new restaurant for me tonight that has been recommended to me by a few people
N18 47.751 E098 59.070
Outside seating for smokers
Inside for us non smokers
A pulled pork sandwich with potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans and caramelized onions, this was a lovely and filling meal and all for only 125 Baht
The corn bread and butter was complimentary and was quite pleasant too
