I am given a glass of red wine and a glass of Pastis, never tried that before and found it rather potent

Beef Bourbignon with potatoes at Corsica 159 Baht, delicious too, it is tender Australian beef not the local stuff

Perhaps this is the name of the village

Another Christian village

But it can only go as far as the looping Yuam

A single track carries on out of the village

Time to ride back along the single track
IMG_6908.jpg
Suddenly I hear voices and these two appear

The first company I have had all day

Here the Yuam looks deep and unmoving
IMG_6903.jpg
Downstream of them combined
IMG_6902.jpg
Looking upstream of the slow moving Yuam
IMG_6901.jpg
Looking upstream of the fast flowing Pon
IMG_6900.jpg
That was too boggy to walk through
IMG_6899.jpg
This track goes to the confluence of the Yuam and Pon rivers

A side track soon becomes single track

IMG_6893.jpg
This track looks like its well used and hopefully goes somewhere

63 km north of Mae Sariang I take a track

Before reaching the 108 I take an overgrown track which also linked back to the 108, riding along the 108 you wouldn't notice it though as its so overgrown

I ride further and it goes downhill then has signs of 4 wheeled tracks so I realise there is another exit.
Looking at the GPS I see I am not far from a track I turned around on yesterday thinking it was just a stream bed to nowhere, today I linked it up

IMG_6882.jpg
The track gets worse and only signs of motorbikes using it at the moment
IMG_6881.jpg

IMG_6880.jpg
Now on another track further north and one I was expecting to be a dead end

I cant find my way to the weir, I guess its only accessible from the track on the other side
