In the centre of the photo is a white Buddah but I cant see a way up to it
IMG_3482.JPG
None of these tracks are going to cross that
IMG_3483.JPG
The track loops round and I can see a way back to the paved road

Another paved road takes me up to Wat Khao Thampothong where the white Buddah is

He points up there

Quite why he thinks I might want to go up there I dont know

This worker appears to have a burst water pipe problem
IMG_3504.JPG

IMG_3506.JPG
He quickly fixes it

Suddenly the wind picks up and I can feel a change in the air, its a lot cooler and I am wondering if we are going to get some rain

The trees roots like like they are levelling out at the high water mark

Lots more tracks as I ride further north

Mainly link up tracks today which is a lot better than just dead ends
IMG_3518.JPG
I thought that was turning into where I am exiting from
IMG_3519.JPG
But then it just carried on past
