The route 221, 2189, 6032, 2074, 45003, 2033, 2136, 2214, 2248
Total distance 288 km
Heading out along the 221 I take a left just before reaching Hwy 24 to view the Huai Ta Mai Reservoir, these guys have turned the water supply to the irrigation channel off and are removing the turning wheel
That wheel looked heavy by the way they were struggling with it
I thought that looked a bit small for the overflow on a reservoir as large as this one
Then not far away I saw there was another one, I guess the smaller sinkhole lets some out and if the level gets too much higher this lets the rest out
I ride to Kantharalak taking the 2189 then the 2074 to try to find the route heading south east to where I want to go, I then am on the 45003 followed by the 2033 then an unnumbered road that turns to dirt at N14.34.118 E104.48.801
Its a bit dusty but easy riding along here
Lots of tapioca some growing and some harvested here, the road occasionally goes back to paved for two or three short distances but then is dirt until I reach the 2136 at N14.33.354 E104.54.468
I head east along the 2248 until N14.28.748 E104.58.821 where I take a right and I dont actually remember riding this road before
Its a good road and goes right to the Cambodian border
12.5 km later at N14.23.377 E104.57.964 I reach the Army camp at the border
Looking back into Thailand
The border gate is locked and it doesnt look like visas are available here
Looking inside Cambodia
Time to ride back along this lovely very twisty road and I get back to the 2248 turning left to head west and carry on exploring
At N14.27.935 E104.49.699 I take a left and ride to the Huai Kanon Reservoir 3.3 km down this road, I park at the overflow at N14.26.524 E104.49.558
Another one thats as good as full
Theres some kids playing in the overflow
Riding back towards the 2248 and rubber trees here
There were lots of chickens running free here but these three more valuable ones were not allowed out
On my way back along the 221 I was stopped and asked to do a breathalyser test, in all my 37 years whilst riding a motorbike this is the first time I have ever been asked to do this. Once I got the camera out and photograped it some of the helpers at the roadside began laughing and the Policeman put it away and waved me on, so now you know what to do if asked to take it
A large lasagna at Willys tonight for 300 Baht, half was eaten and the other half is for sunday nights dinner, Frank is closed for three days so its other eating venues until he reopens.
