I made a nice early start this morning, heading out on the 118 by 8am and it was rather chilly I can tell you
At Mae Khachan I take the 120 and its started to warm up a bit now
A reasonable amount of water flowing at Wang Nuea
Quite a few other people were panning here as well
A few km further on I take a right onto the 4017 and notice this shop with lots of old electrical appliances
I ride on for a couple of km then take an unnumbered concrete road to my left that takes me back to the 120, here I turn right and head east
After a few km I take a left onto an unnumbered road that I havent rode before
Its basically just sweetcorn/maize along here
The twisty road goes for five km then stops at a village
A new one along with some old ones
It was only a short trip but worth it, a well surfaced twisty road plus great scenery
Back on the 120 heading east and this road is always a real pleasure
I take a right onto an unnumbered road thats got lots of loose gravel along it in places
After maybe about ten km it ends at a village
Not much activity going on here
Now its time to ride back to the 120 and head further east
I stop at the Than Thong waterfall
Just a little further on theres another small waterfall alongside the road
I take a right onto the 2015 and this road is in a very bad state virtually all of the way
The same crop being gathered everywhere today
I reach the village at the end of the paved road and stop for pictures
The satellite dish has more than one use out here
I ride back to the 120 thinking that if only the 2015 had a decent surface what a fun road it would be
At the 120 I turn right and ride west, at N19.07.528 E099.39.197 I turn left onto a dirt
track that my gps shows me will take me to a side road that joins the 4017.
A rubber plantation here, unfortunately I come to a water crossing thats too deep and I
have no intention of getting the Phantom stuck so I turn round and ride back to the 120,
perhaps I will try it again after a few months
I ride west for a while then take a left onto the concrete road that I roide earlier back to the 4017
On the return ride I notice these people hard at work
All very nicely done
I am now on the 4017 heading south and good scenery in the background
No mechanical machinery out here, its being cut by hand
Opposite the temple the kids are playing at school
It looks like some prizes are going to be given out soon
After a few more km I take a left onto another unnumbered road that heads east,
I zoomed my gps in to maximum and still this road does not show, its a mixture of asphalt
and concrete. When I first rode here a year ago it was not a new road then, perhaps it will find its way onto the map someday
I cant fault the view along here either
I ride to the roads end which joins one of the roads that I was on earlier then turn around
and ride back turning left onto the 4017 which soon meets the 1035, here I turn left and ride towards Chae Hom.
I take a right onto the 1187 then a right onto the 1252 then after about ten km its a left
onto the 4329 for Chae Son National Park, I say I am going to Chiang Mai and am told to go through, no fuss at all as usual
Just after going through the NP
The road has now become the 4074 and its time to get a move on as daylight is beginning to fade,
even with my early start time has got the better of me once again. I ride on and at the end take
a right onto the 3005 which takes me to the 118, here its a left and on home
