Total distance 245 km

Two pieces of chicken from a stall 50 Baht and a portion of fries from Intira 70 Baht is tonights meal

Chunky kid

No nails or anything in the tyre so perhaps it was the potholes that caused it, I was running 36 psi in the rear so low pressure wasn't to blame.
130 Baht and a new tube and I am on my way

After a few really rough potholes my rear tyre deflates rather quickly, I soon find a repair shop but the guy who fixes has gone to Mae Sariang and they don't know how long he will be.
I ride on for another 15 km until I reach Sop Moei

I reach the roadworks then its a couple of badly potholed sections













The Moei is bubbling along at a fair old pace















Just past this happy lot I link up with an already mapped track so its turn around time, I don't want to wreck my laptop with too much offroad

















Further along the 105 and theres another unmapped track that hopefully joins up with something







Everyone appears smiling and happy in Huai Haeng





The kids appear to be enjoying playing in the water





I see a village marked on the map without the track to get to it so its explore time, usually I am too fully laden for offroad exploring when moving between towns but as it was only a short trip I left lots of stuff in Mae Sariang

A quick two night stay in Mae Sot for a visa run now its back to Mae Sariang

Is there a reason why you run such a high psi Colin? My bike's manual recommends 22psi in the rear, I wouldn't have thought yours was much different? Does it offer any benefits?

Tire Pressure on the Road according to the spec that stand on the Tire .
I run mine at the moment on 37 psi .
Check your tires Craig it stand somewhere on the side , i guess your's are around 33psi.

The manual says 22 front and rear but if the load is over 85 kg then it says put 33 in the rear
