A cloudy cool ride out from Umphang and I was prepared for rain along the way but thankfully it stayed dry.
When I was last here there was talk of the coming 7-11, but at the moment it still hasnt happened, the latest is that it will open some time in january

The refuge camp along the way, there are some tracks going off the main road that need exploring but if theres no accommodation between Umphang and Mae Sot that presents a problem

There are times when I am in low cloud but apart from a drop in temperature no problem

A chilli chicken at the Tea Shop for 35 Baht, it was nice but not particularly hot
