The route 1020, 1155, 1021, 1148, 1080
Total distance 291 km
Last night it started raining in Chiang Khong and the old Lady who owns this guesthouse was soon out covering my bike up
Early this morning Lakota turned up to see me as he was interested in seeing my rack and pannier frames, I was interested in his home made rack, no rusting from this one
A quick phone call to Nan found that the Amazing guesthouse had a room for me, in fact the house was completely empty which was surprising as this is now the Thai tourist season plus its a long holiday weekend
On the lovely bendy 1155
Its another cold cloudy windy day and even though I put the pullover and tracksuit trousers on I am not very warm so the waterproof jacket liner goes in too.
Once the airflow is blocked off I am a lot warmer and more comfortable
The sun doesnt make an appearance at all today
The photo that sums up the 1155
The start of the 1148
While I am stopped at this photo stop some Thais on bikes also stop for photos and offer to take mine
Its looking gloomier and a bit further on the road is damp for a while but theres no rain luckily
The reservoir that I will be visiting in the coming few weeks that I will stay here, plus theres a few off shoots along the 1184 that I hope to join up with some dirt tracks
A last shot of the 1148 then its on to Nan
My home in Nan
I get my favourite large room which is 130 Baht but as I stay two or three weeks when I pay at the end its usually around 100 Baht as the owner gives a discount for a long stay
Tonys Place for tonights meal, the full English breakfast is now 160 Baht and a very filling meal of
2 bacon, 2 eggs, 2 fried bread, 1 sausage, white pudding, baked beans, chips, mushrooms and fried onions
