This shot is from the recently completed 4013, it used to head south off of the 2328 for a few km then turn to a dirt track through the woods, now its a fun road that runs south of the 2328 becoming the 4030 and rejoining the 2328 quite near to the Chong Chom border crossing

Gettting out to there doesnt look as easy as it once was

Riding through the Chong Chom market and the buildings look a bit dilapidated

From here I ride along the 214 to the Chong Chom border crossing and wish that I hadnt, as soon as I turned up three Cambodian kids are on my case and these seem like the thieving unpleasant kind, touching everything but In a way as in hoping to steal something.
No photos from them, when I got the camera out they hid their faces and asked for money, some adult touts turned up pestering me to buy cigarettes, I soon moved on vowing to not bother stopping here again.
This is as far west as I am going exploring the border roads from my Si Saket base, I will now do some inland trips and resume exploring the border when I move on to Buriram

I head east along the 2328 then take a right onto the 3031 stopping at an unknown reservoir at N14.27.837 E103.52.159

Plenty of fishing going on here, the reservoir doesnt show up on my gps but its been here for a few years as I have visited it quite a few times before
