7-11-15 Mae Sariang New Track Close To Town

[Captain_Slash]

Total distance 78 km

All the photos are back to front so read from the bottom upwards

Chicken curry 30 Baht

We were all soaked but everyone was in good spirits

Annoyingly once I got going the roads were bone dry within 2 km





Back on the 108 and it pisses down















Riding back along the paved 3010 I see a turning and this also leads to a settlement









Very friendly people in both settlements





















Both are on the Nam Mae Om Long







Two settlements close to each other at the end of the track









On the road towards the hot springs and theres a track I hadn't noticed before.
It wasn't on the map so needed checking out













In the river looking from the verandah

Pity that northerly trail along the Um Long was a dead end looked promising.

I thought at first it was going west to the 108

I think that is the most fun, untouched, off-road area in Thailand. You've already found some new stuff!

Thanks for giving us all the unique detailed reports, I think you'd be surprised how many people benefit from your work.
