Mae Sot Back To Mae Sariang And A Hazy Start

[Captain_Slash]

The Route 105

Total Distance 244 km

A hazy start to the day as I leave Mae Sot

At the refugee camp and the cliff is barely visible, at this rate it will be pitch black before I get to Mae Sariang

I am parked up taking a breather and a drink when the ant egg harvester walks past, I was dreading him spilling loads of the red ants where I was standing but thankfully he didnt

At a village there was something going on and this balloon was let off, it will very soon be swallowed by the haze

Theres been a lot of burning since I rode down along this road three weeks ago today and surprisingly the haze is getting a lot better now

Riding alongside the Moei

This is one of the Thai rivers about to empty into the Moei and still a reasonable flow of water today in all the rivers I cross

The same picture from three weeks ago

The Moei today

Three weeks ago

Lots of fires today both roadside and up in the hills

A lot clearer here though

I get past the road works and back onto the bumpy old section, this should be a lot wider and smoother next time I ride along here

I ride in to Mae Sariang and check in at the Riverside Guest House

A moo kata tonight for 108 Baht

Sorry to hear about the GPS shitting the bed Colin, I've got a 62S you can borrow and some rechargeable batteries..... beginning of the day looked like a great area!!

See you in Chiang Mai tomorrow.

Looks like Colin's got his GPS all fixed, so he'll be mapping some more in the Mae Sariang area.
