I ride back to the edge of the Mae Kuang and remember once about 10 years ago when quite a few metres of the asphalt was under water.
Unfortunately I didnt know where the overflow was back then as quite possibly it was full

The track on the other side that will take me back to the 1001

It wouldnt be northern Thailand without smoke from a fire, this was from dried coconut husks burning in an incinerater

Then the track alternates between wet and dry
