Kanchanaburi 26/1/2014

[Captain_Slash]

The route 3199, 3086, 3398

Total distance 151 km

I was expecting a warmer night in Kanchanaburi as its a lot lower altitude but it was still cold

Cattle enjoying their breakfast







Dry dusty tracks but its a bit hazy here







Various crops grown around here

A change of scenery now as I ride through the woods



A handy lunch stop out in the bush











A few fires burning around here today





One of these spoke a bit of English and told me if I was riding on to be careful as there are big elephants up in the woods and can be a danger to motorcyclists, she said dont go far.
Usually warnings are scare tectics near borders by the authorities and I ignore them but I took this girl at her word and didnt venture too far up there, it wasnt a through track anyway.
Not sure if the insurance would pay out if an elephant sat on my bike

At a shop out on the track









Its getting dustier

Tasty street food tonight for 40 Baht

How much warmer is it down south Colin, was freezing in Chaing Mai again last night, we're getting some big temperature swings here?

Its still cold at night but not as cold as Mae Sot was, I was expecting it to be a lot warmer here as its virtually at sea level

Mate.... it isn't just them sitting on the bike you have to worry about. This little bastard picked the bike (and me) up and threw us 10'.... then claimed the bike
