The route 101, 4035, 103, 1154, 1120, 1091
Total distance 347 km
Out on the 101 between Wiang Sa and Rong Kwang I take a right at N18.25.173 E100.28.645 and ride 4.5 km to the Huai Rong Waterfall at N18.26.529 E100.27.008
I leave the waterfall and turn right onto the 4035 to explore northwards on a couple of small roads showing on the gps
The 4035 is beginning to look promising
Its a brilliant surface and great scenery too, according to my gps this road does not exist out this far, but I know better
This road is the find of the day
I reach a village, probably Ban Bo Hoi according to my Thinknet map and I mark it at the end of the asphalt road as N18.30.228 E100.24.417
A concrete road takes the place of the asphalt and I ride on up into the hills
The concrete road finishes at N18.30.621 E100.24.333
I ride a further 1.5km on a dirt track stopping at this place at N18.30.999 E100.24.157
The dirt track carries on into the hills but its a long way to an asphalt road that way, plus I need to leave some exploring for next years trip here
Back in the village and it looks like small rubber bands are the kids toys here
I ride back as far as N18.26.834 E100.26.794 then take a right onto a concrete road
Another pleasant ride through the hills
I reach a village
At the far end of the village the road finishes at N18.28.657 E100.23.969
Plenty of wildlife walking around in this village
Time to ride back, I get back along this road to N18.28.294 E100.24.916 then take a left onto another concrete road
This one finishes at N18.28.919 E100.24.344
A bit of free range pork there
I ride back to the 4035 turning right onto it
Some good twists along here to go with the great scenery, these are all new roads for me and good finds too.
I reach the 101 at N18.22.967 E100.25.855 and turn right onto it then after about 20 km I turn right onto the 103 then take another right onto the 1154
At N18.30.157 E100.11.985 I take a right to ride to the Nam Mae Song Reservoir, at the overflow its N18.29.961 E100.13.928 after a 4.9 km ride
Nowhere near to capacity here, about 10 metres below I reckon
I ride back to the 1154 turning right and riding towards Ngao alongside the Ngao river which is seen here bubbling along
Times getting on and I have no reason to ride to Ngao so I turn around here at N18.37.076 E100.08.241
This picture is a bit blurred but it shows some twists along the 1154 of which there are loads
The Yom river
I reach the junction with the 1120 turning left onto it and enjoying this very pleasant curving road towards Chiang Muan
Just before Chiang Muan I reach the 1091 turning right to ride back to Nan
Roast pork knuckle, roast potatoes and gravy tonight for 240 Baht at Tonys Place, another one of his specials and a very filling meal
Once again I couldnt finish my meal, I just couldnt manage these bones, luckily Tonys dog helped me out there.
