The route 108, 1266
Total distance 139 km
Outside my guest house this morning was this customised bike
A Honda Sonic engine has been transplanted in here
Its time for the 3000 km oil change and no Shell garage here to get my usual brand of oil from
Shouldnt get any problems with this brand and its a semi synthetic 10W-40 the same as the Shell that will be mixed with it.
The gear lever was a bit loose and the guy here took it off cleaned it then fixed it, this plus the oil change was 150 Baht which was the price of the oil.
I used this place a couple of years back when the Phantom needed the tyres changing, a very good service here indeed and good English is spoken here too
Now time to change accommodation, I move to the Riverside Guest House as I get a room with private toilet/shower plus hot water for 150 Baht
The view from the terrace
Its a midday start by the time I am sorted out so a quick trip to Huai Hom for some coffee
The 1266 has a bit of surface debris here and there
A few landslips along the way, this was the largest one
Its been two years since I last rode here and the asphalt has been extended from the 108 until N18.21.236 E098.03.875, then its a 3.6 km unpaved section
At N18.22.617 E098.04.624 I am back on asphalt at the turn to Huai Hom
Huai Hom village
I ride through the village until the paved surface finishes then turn around
Huai Homs most famous product drying out
A view from upstairs at the coffee tasting/buying house
Lots of packets of the ground coffee for sale
No trip here is complete without sampling a cup
Now time to ride back with half a kilo of freshly ground for myself and 1.25 kg for a couple of restaurants here who always ask me to get them some
These school children are busily tidying up and burning the rubbish under the supervision of their teacher
On the way back I take a right onto a narrow concrete road that leads to a village of wooden houses
Theres more watching than working
The end of the road and time to turn back
I ride a bit further along the 1266 then take another right onto a concrete road but after the bridge it turns to dirt at N18.22.984 E097.57.877
Just past these buffaloes the surface returns to paved at N18.23.409 E097.58.041
Now a scenic ride back to the 108
The playful puppy at the Sawaddee restaurant
Pork steak, fries and onions for 200 Baht at the Sawaddee
