Ginger which seems to be a very popular crop up here, when Alex and I rode in this area the other week we found lots of sackfuls of it

These were there to greet me, the one on the right holding the pamphlet spoke reasonable English but it was a very rare sentence that didnt include his imaginary friends name in it (religion)

They wanted to give me this after explaining about its religious content, I thanked them and declined after telling them of my atheist views.
I said goodbye to them and rode on, no doubt their imaginary friend was asked to look after me

Dirt finished at N19.41650 E101.04881 as I reach the 4017.
I didnt find the track I was looking for and its probably a figment of Google Earths imagination but it was a good day and new stuff was discovered

Chicken coq ua vin and rice at Tony's Place for 210 Baht, truly delicious and very filling indeed, this needed some serious putting away
