I dont usually see Western tourist couples with their kid out in these rigs

The Mae Sariang river appears to have slightly more water than the Yuam right now
76197

76198
Out of town and both rivers have merged by now so a slightly better flow
76199
All thats flowing south as I ride over it at Sop Moei
76200
High up on the 3004 and still a flow here

A mixed blessing is the 3004 now that its finished, the dirt section was great at the end of the rainy season but this time of the year was horrible with losts of bulldust from the heavy volume of traffic and is therefore a lot nicer to ride right now

I ride it to the end of the paved section south of Le Kho then back track to Le Kho to do the dirt loop
76208

76209
I mainly wished I hadnt bothered, the bulldust is non stop


76210
A short concrete section under the bulldust which goes towards a village but I turn off earlier, I am wondering if they will concrete from Le Kho all the way here soon

The tractors has been through here and it was a loose surface pretty much the whole way
76215
Still a small flow into the Yuam
76216
The Yuam and it looks a lot deeper on the other side
76217
The Mae Lit and Mae Ngao rivers have added their volume to the Yuam between here and Sop Moei and its a much stronger flow
