The route 4010, 1016, Hwy 1, 1209, Unknown, 1173, 1098, 4004, 1290, 1129,
Total distance 172 km
The riders
David Learmonth - Triumph T100
Phil (feelthenoise) - Honda Phantom
Myself - Honda Phantom
David and myself ride to Phils house then the three of us head south along hwy 1 for a few km then take a left onto the 1209 and a few km later take a right onto an unnumbered road
We then use the 1173 and the 1098
Theres some decent bends on todays trip
Plenty of good scenery too
A reasonable flow to the river
These look a bit overgrown
Approaching Chiang Saen we stop here
The proprietor is completely flat out asleep
Just a bit further on and its Wat Chedi Luang
Thats looks like I built it, as in it looks like its about to fall over
On to Chiang Saen and the mighty Mekong
Then its a ride up to the Golden Triangle to view the Mekong there
We ride back to south of Chiang Saen to visit Phra Bhoromtharth Buddha Nimit Chedi at N20.14.720 E100.06.058
The Mekong through the trees
Zoomed in
Phil branches off to ride home and I follow David home through some narrow roads
At Davids house there is a bit of a commotion going on in the garden and this unwelcome guest is spotted. Even though its wounded once its spots the camera and knowing its going to get its picture on the site the cobra is more than happy to rear up and pose for a few photos
David asks me to kill it but I have no desire to do this and as picking it up with my hands is not the best option a long bamboo is the answer
I carry it outside and put it in the fast flowing canal where it soon disappears downstream
Then its the dogs turn for photos
Plus a large pig running around the garden
It seems that it might have been a spitting cobra and this poor dogs eyes may have taken a bit of venom, but hopefully only puffed up eyes for a short while.
It certainly was an interesting day today.
