A slice of delicious egg tart 25 Baht
Chicken leg with potatoes, carrots and garlic bread at Corsica 114 Baht
Now to ride up there to Sab Moei
Fuel sold here
Back in Um Da Tai
Riding back and the stream bed is the track for a while
At the very end of the track and he has just finished doing what I am about to do, enjoy a well deserved piss
I met these two near the end of the track which went for a few km and they had to walk back
A water crossing which was nice and cool
A track goes out south from here, Tom wants a long break so I explore it alone
Looking down on Um Da Tai
At last we reach a village and the track is good now
At the wash out we easily get the bikes down but getting out again took a bit of effort
The track is steep and badly rutted and only passable by motorbikes at the moment
I don't know what Tom has got in that box but it has some capacity
We stop in Mae Ok for our lunch break and here Tom gets a bottle of water which is often not the easiest thing to buy in these villages.
They will sell you beer, Coke or Red Bull but don't have any water to sell
It soon becomes apparent why
Once we pass this settlement the track that was widely used a year ago doesn't look like its used apart from motorbikes
In the next village and this girl spoke good English
Tom blasting off up the hill, these tracks are nice and dry out in the sun but a bit tricky in the shade
The first of many villages we pass through today
A small water crossing just off the 108
Tom contacted me through my website and wanted to meet up to ride together, so off we go
