The route 101, 3171, 1026, 1083, 1123, 1241, 1268, 1239, 1047
Total distance 379 km
After 18 nights in Nan it was time to move on, an 8am start on a cloudy cold morning but at least it wasnt raining
I take the 101 then the 3171 to Wiang Sa then its the 1026 to Na Noi before getting on the lovely 1083 where these pictures were taken after climbing to about 850 metres
The cloud is beautiful when it looks like this and not pouring the wet stuff on me
As usual I see more animals along this road than people or vehicles
The Nan river is brown, I guess from the recent rain
Theres a minibus full of Thai tourists up from Bangkok and they are enjoying the river
The 1083 sure is a lovely twisty road
This small stream has more water in it than usual
At the end of the 1083 I take a left onto the 1123 and at N18.17.459 E101.06.194 I ride towards the Lao border still on the 1123
The asphalt finishes after 7.9 km at N18.20.543 E101.08.301 and I ride another 100 metres to N18.20.618 E10108.301 before turning back
A nice roadslip here
Time to ride back and take a right to try out another side road off of the 1123
At N18.18.594 E101.06.028 I take a right onto an unnumbered road that is asphalt for 4.4 km until N18.20.410 E101.06.522, then it is dirt for another 300 metres to an army camp at N18.20.542 E101.06.510
A photo from the lovely twisty 1241
At N18.05.848 E101.07.368 I turn left at this sign to check it out
4.9 km later I arrive here at N18.06.212 E101.09.584 but no visas here
The border market which is apparently quite big on a saturday is now winding down
Now I am riding along the quiet 1268
Some work is going on at the entrance to this village
Perhaps they are going to hang somebody from it
I take a right onto the very twisty 1239 then take the 1047 to Uttaradit checking into the Numchai Hotel as usual at N17.36.716 E100.05.219
Then its a lovely pork ghoulash with Pasta at the New York Steakhouse N17.36.626 E100.05.144 for 160 Baht.
