The KLX got a 3000 km oil change at a Shell garage today, as its running on Shell oil I thought there was as good a place as any to find it.
137 Baht for the litre plus a bit extra that I had left over from its 1000 km service and off I went, the oil change itself was free

Out of Samoeng and along the 6033 for a potter around some roads that I have rode on before plus some new ones

A bit of damage to the road surface here

Good scenery, hardly any traffic plus a mostly decent road surface makes for a fun ride

At Pang Term theres a couple of helicopter landing pads

At Mae Tung Ting I turn right and on previous trips along here there has not been a sealed surface between N18.57.944 E098.41.835 and N18.57.859 E098.42.462.
This is now being surfaced and apart from about 50 metres still being worked on the rest is finished so in a week or two this should be completed

A local enjoying the road too

I take a left onto a road that is a concrete surface for a very short time until N18.58.224 E098.42.772 then its a mixture of dirt, concrete and occasionally a bit of asphalt all the way to the 1095

A new road for me today

A surface like this is easy going

On reaching the 1095 its a quick lube of the chain then a right to ride back towards the 107.
I always used to look forward to and enjoy riding the 1095 but sadly nowadays I only ever use the section between the 107 and Pai if I have too as its completely lost its appeal to me and I was relieved to take a right onto the 3009 and ride another new road for me

A couple of playful friendly dogs along here

The 3009 was a much nices quieter road with some decent bends along its length

I ride to the 107 then turn right and on home

Walking to the restaurant and lots of pigeons at the moat

A big vat of Moo Hunglay and thats what I have tonight, not the whole vat though

A large portion was 60 Baht plus 12 Baht for the rice, I only just about managed to stop the lady before it got covered in green shit though, thats not something that I have encountered before with this dish.
It was deliciously cooked as it was when I ate this dish before at this restaurant right next to Dang bike hire

Nice ride Colin, I know that bit up from Tung Ting through to Pa Pae, makes a very nice loop indeed.

As for the meal, P'Took & I have never seen or heard of Pak Chee being served on top, thank goodness you stopped the woman in time would have been Loi Krathong fireworks all over agan ;) Perhaps when you said you didn't need "any of that green shit n the top", she thought you actually wanted it!

Ally I have never heard of it either and certainly didnt mention it, my paranoia is setting in these days and I was watching just in case, lucky I did
 
A Baht-a-litre is pretty good value Colin! - Especially with all the fun you're having. Keep the good reports coming please ! Love-em, thanks for taking the time, we all benefit.
