Along the 4014

Because I am staying down low level today I have to accept it will be more smoky where I will be riding

The 4014 is a well surfaced twisty road

Looking over the Myanmar border and it looks even worse pollution

A village in Myanmar just on the other side of the Moei river


No one seemed to be paying any attention to the sign

Very fast flowing and quite deep in places


She was continually changing position for photos






I watched one bike cross the river


Lots of bikes arriving at the river as I ride out



An unknown reservoir further on


This one was only about one metre down from capacity

At Ban Walae and the old bridge that I have walked over and into Myanmar many times over the years

Its had lots of pieces of timber added to hold it together since I was last here four years ago

More water than I was expecting to see here

Just over the bridge


Each sack is fifty kg

The boys take one each


Youngster is happy just carrying a bag of crisps


The new bridge and to my amazement for the first time ever I am asked if I want to walk across and look around Myanmar, usually its a big no no and the old bridge has to be used to get in

Everyone wants to be in the water today, it is rather hot here

Even the dogs have just got out of the water


Now to enjoy a different twisty road as I ride back




Here its looking a bit clearer
