I mapped this track some years back and ride it again to see if it links to new stuff that I can see

I thought that looked like a reservoir on another track
IMG_3412.JPG
A bit further on and this reservoir was only made last year

I am now parked on top of whet looked like a reservoir, no water here though

According to the Garmin GPS map this track links up, sadly it doesnt anymore as the track is completely destroyed
IMG_3419.JPG
Maybe someone lives up here

There is no one in but the door is open

All is needed is electricity then its liveable in
IMG_3424.JPG
Just past it is this and I am wondering if something is going to be erected up here

This track leads down to the back of the one year old reservoir I found earlier

I am going to see how far the Wave will get me up that hill
IMG_3429.JPG
It got me up a lot further than I thought possible, I cant believe how well it goes up steep hills considering its running on standard gearing.
The clutch can be slipped by slightly depressing the gear lever but that is not something I wish to start doing as everything has its breaking point and I have no desire to burn the clutch plates out in the hills

Close to the Mae Ka Sa Waterfall is this new coffee place at N16.85916 E098.62830

A lovely view from up here
IMG_3443.JPG
Its not just a coffee shop there is a decent menu too including the shabu/ mukata option
IMG_3444.JPG
That wheelbarrow reminds of a 1970s building site, the pushbike looks even older

Accommodation here too
IMG_3447.JPG
I like the toilet block
IMG_3448.JPG
A western toilet and shower inside

To my utter shock the Mae Ka Sa Waterfall has been developed into something really nice.
Whenever I visited here over the years I seldom ever saw anyone else here and quite often there was no water either
IMG_3450.JPG

IMG_3451.JPG
I couldnt be bothered to climb up any further to see if water is being pumped up to ensure a year round waterfall
IMG_3452.JPG
Another coffee shop is next to the waterfall and this lake is in the grounds
IMG_3453.JPG

IMG_3454.JPG
A much bigger lake is here as well, this explains why I have seen so much traffic turning up here over the last few days of riding here

Beef Handi and rice at Bismillah 320 Baht, this was a large portion of beef and with the rice was as much as I could manage, it was delicious too
