These must be the biggest group around Mae Sot, everywhere you go are posters of them and lots of stickers on trucks too

Still plenty of water flowing down the rivers, the same as it was two months ago when I rode along here

This old Honda looks a bit battered but probably still runs okay

The lovely new surface heading northwards

I actually ride the entire journey on asphalt for once as the surface that was dirt on the way down has now been recently surfaced all the way to the old narrow road, no lines on the road yet

Further on and a good surface again, in a few years time it should be like this all the way.
On the ride back I stop at Tha Song Yang and Mae Salit to suss out accommodation there, I find rooms for 300 Baht upwards.
Its daft trying to explore around these areas using Mae Sarieng or Mae Sot as bases and theres some exploring needing doing at another time

In Mae Sarieng and my usual Muslim eatery is closed so I try the market to see if they have a stall there

Moo hunglay, a portion was put in a plastic bag and 40 Baht was handed over

With the sticky rice 50 Baht and this was a particularly spicy meal too, lovely

People are always saying street food is healthy for you so I have one of these too
