The bridge looks a bit wonky but it felt firm enough when I walked across it, I rode through the very shallow water anyway
DSCF5588_zpsf48d5576.jpg

That looks like an overflow for a reservoir up there

The water is clear

Even though it looks like oil here

The unknown reservoir that doesnt show on the GPS, as the ESRI shows the Nam Yang river flowing here I hereby name it the Huai Nam Yang Reservoir and its located at N18.94650 E100.95406

Its at least ten metres below capacity

There is a track running alongside it but I soon tire of that and ride back
