I got off H 11 as quickly as possible to ride on quieter roads bypassing Lamphun

I went down an unmapped road and it turned to unpaved, not what I wanted today on a clean bike but there was no mud so no problem

I kept on seeing signs for the white railway bridge and since I last rode out this way about three years ago a lot has changed.
A paved road has been put in that goes to the bridge
