I took the 108 to San Patong then took a left onto the 3165 to cross to ride along the river and follow the quieter roads to Hot

Along the 1156 I came across these being built, later on in the day I saw hundreds of them everywhere

After a short ride along the 1010 it was great to get on the 4009 and enjoy a peaceful virtually traffic free road

This is a much preferable route to Hot that Ally showed me last week

My gps shows a reservoir to my left, I ride to it only to find its got little more water in it than a swimming pool

The Mae Hat reservoir along here is pretty much full to the brim unlike last years trip
DSCF0916.jpg

The 4038 is now a well surfaced road from start to end, unlike the rutted dirt track that it was a few years ago

I stop at this small temple alongside the road at N17.48.825 E098.47.876

Further along the road at N17.43.778 E098.50.696 I stop here for a look around

These guys are mixing some concoction together
DSCF0924.jpg

Then its being hammered into these bamboos

I ride to the end of the road and turn right onto the 1087 then ride to the Mae Ping National Park
DSCF0929.jpg

At the Kaeng Ko Reservoir the water level is well up

On the way back just before I reach the NP gates I take a right at N17.38.800 E098.52.551 onto the 4040 which is a narrow road that I havent seen here before, it goes for eleven km then stops at N17.33.522 E098.52.526

DSCF0934.jpg

There is a camping ground here but I see nobody around
DSCF0935.jpg


DSCF0936.jpg

The cattle are the only occupants here today
DSCF0937.jpg

The ride back, the entire eleven km is like this, a narrow twisty road with just trees all the way
DSCF0938.jpg

I ride back to the 106 and turn left to ride home, just past Li I take a right to ride along the 4022 and get off the horrible 106
DSCF0939.jpg

Its a pleasant short road then I take the 1219 then the 1184 home
