Thank you Bob for sharing. Riders interested to join the charity ride to Doi Tai Laeng, feel free to message me for further info and details...
 
JB do you have any gps coordinates of the village can't appear to locate it on any maps
 
JB do you have any gpd coordinates of the village can't appear to locate it on any maps
you can enter this name on google map
"Monument of King Naresuan
อนุเสาวรีย์พระนเรศวร"

I will register my interest. I suspect it might be best to offer to go in the truck to help carry donations. One of my staff, Deere - our mechanic - may be interested in riding and together, we can offer back-up for the other riders, or carrying capacity, if needed. Rider's Corner is always happy and willing to "give a bit back" to those people who need it most.
