The Route 1080, 1336, 1148, 4011, 3077, 1082
Total Distance 168 km
I head north on the 1080 then take a left onto the quieter 1336
Just before rejoining the 1080 at Tha Wang Pha I stop for breakfast at N19 06.426 E100 48.498
A spicy fried chicken with basil for 25 Baht
The 1148
The odd bit of smoke but nothing to worry about
I stay on the 1148 for about 15 km then take a left onto the 4011
Although its now hot its a pleasant fresh air up here today
A quick stop at the Ponggi hot springs
Apart from these kids playing in the stream theres no one here the same as last years trip
The surface turns to unpaved at N19 13.031 E100 38.596 and I stop at the next village
The girl with the purple top on tells me the track ahead that is showing on my GPS goes nowhere but if I take the left which doesnt show it will lead me back out towards Tha Wang Pha
So off I set on a very pleasant dirt ride
This was a great surface, no bulldust or rocks, just a hard dirt surface
Its breezy and pleasant up here
Theres been a severe shortage of snake photos this year because I have hardly seen any, I spot this one today and think I havent seen this golden coloured one before
It appears to have the same characteristics as the tree dwelling rat snake as it gets off the ground at the first opportunity and stays aloft until out of sight
I reach the asphalt of the 3077 at N19 11.285 E100 43.137 and ride it back to the 1148 completing a nice loop for the first time
I ride back through the village to reach a track and the paved surface finishes at N19 10.801 E100 45.912.
I turn right to ride this dirt track to where it joins the 3077 at N19 11.083 E100 45.733
Plenty of workers busy along here
Then at the junction with the 3077 I turn around and ride it to its junction with the 1082 and I expect this will be an asphalt surface next time I ride along it.
The dirt finishes at N19 08.050 E100 46.653 when I reach the 1082
Tony has put on a sunday roast today and theres a few here for dinner eating their diet sized portions
Theres mine and my powers of gluttony were much needed today to devour that lot
As I was about to leave Tony persuaded me to have some homemade bread pudding with custard and ice cream, with that I was completely stuffed.
All of this at Tonys Place for 260 Baht
