I do a left onto the 4001 then at N14.25.892 E104.03.671 I turn left onto a concrete road and 0.3 km later at N14.25.896 E104.03.875 it turns to dirt.
I ride another 0.3 km to N14.25.885 E104.04.036 which is the over flow of the Ban Sai Pai Reservoir

The water level is about 0.5 metres below capacity here

I ride along the 4001 to the Chong Sangam border crossing, the asphalt finishes at N14.20.918 E104.03.699 and 0.4 km later at N14.20.752 E104.03.793 its the first barrier
DSCF3922.jpg

A couple of hundred metres along there is the actual border crossing but I cant be bothered to walk up there
DSCF3925.jpg

Back from the border a little bit theres a square area with lots of Immigration buildings that are really starting to get overgrown and the roads that criss cross each other are breaking up.
They have been built ready for a big border crossing but it just hasnt happened and in the present political climate between the two countries who knows when it will be properly opened
DSCF3926.jpg

This building looks fairly new and isnt overgrown yet

Riding back and overlooking the Huai Samran Reservoir

At N14.26.087 E104.03.670 I take a left onto a dirt track to find it

2.3 km later at N14.25.501 E104.03.015 its the overflow
