Thankfully the road widening and tree cutting brigade have left this road alone and we can still enjoy its curves as they always have been, its one fun riders road

Double pork burger and fries at Crossroads 140 Baht, this wasnt on the menu but a double beefburger was and Sean was only too happy to make this for me.
Delicious and filling was my opinion
 
Spectacular.
Well done Colin.
Blue skies, twisty road, green mountains.
Touring time for sure.
I think that new coffee shop is called Khun Viang Ping.
Looks inviting. Did you call in?
 
No I didnt call in Ron, I only drink coffee first thing in the morning, during the day I prefer cold water
