The canal veers off to the right

This is a well surfaced twisty road

I take the 3009 and take a left to try out a new road for me that leads to the 1095

The road turns to unpaved at N19.02.167 E098.51.630

This is a most enjoyable track, not too rough and most importantly its a dry surface

I run into the concreting gang
DSCF2159.jpg

Help was needed to get through here, they put some large stones down for me to ride over the shuttering then the concrete pipe was rolled out the way and then finally the bike was manhandled through
DSCF2160.jpg

Anyone coming through here in a four wheeled vehicle would have been turned back

A few wooden bridges were crossed today but all safe ones

The permanently paved surface starts at N19.06.770 E098.46.640 and just past here is the Mokfa waterfall, I dont bother walking to it

A short way along the 4020 and a new resort by the look of it

The 4020 has some nice curves
DSCF2180.jpg

Plus good scenery

I ride along the 3162 and before reaching the 107 take a right onto an unnumbered road that also goes to the 107, this was along that road
DSCF2195.jpg

I take a right to head south and reach the canal road
DSCF2196.jpg

As I am only about 1 km south of the Mae Taeng river I ride north to the source of the irrigation canal
DSCF2197.jpg

I am now standing in the middle of the Mae Taeng but as I am standing on the weir I remain dry as all the water is being diverted into the irrigation canal
DSCF2198.jpg

Here is where the water is all flowing to
DSCF2199.jpg


DSCF2200.jpg

Nice well tended grounds here
DSCF2201.jpg


DSCF2202.jpg

I ride back along the canal then take a right over it and the road turns to dirt at N19.07.866 E098.55.457 until N19.07.356 E098.55.208 where its an asphalt surface and is the 4235.
South of the 1095 I encounter another short spell of dirt between N19.04.364 E098.52.119 and N19.04.235 E098.52.094
