Just back from a great weekend to Dan Sai to see the Phi Ta Khon festival for the first time. The festival was fun to see so many people there and especially all the small & old bikes with Thai kids ... 100's of them. It was also great to meet some other GTR members in Dan Sai and Loei. I am bad in remembering names (Ian, David, Tim .... ) but it was nice meeting you all. I will make it to CNX "soon".
I left KK again early in the morning and was at Phu Hin Rong Khla at about 9am and the big parts of the mountain was in the clouds ... as I was also. Great, until I realized I could actually not see more 10m in front of me and had more or less to guess where the curves are. First my visor fogged up, then flipped it open and then my glassed fogged up. So had to put my glassed down. Road up to Dan Sai where I did meet David and with the help from David I was lucky to have the last room of Dan Sai. Well room .... no airco, no hot water, no shower but just a bucket. Never mind, it is just for sleeping and the bed was good. Later in the day I did meet the others (Ian, Tim and ...... ) and something to eat and more to drink. The next day was the festival and after that we all left to Loei.
As being a bit loony toon and slow turtle I did ride on my own and took the long way to Loei. Wow what a beautiful route is the 2113 to Na Haeo and then the 2195 along the border and then to 2294 to Phu Ruea (and then the 203 to Loei). Mostly perfect good roads and stunning views. Again in Loei I was lucky as the King Hotel was actually fully booked but a tour-group had just canceled 1 room (sorry guys).
Followed was another night out in Loei that started with a good dinner at Chris Steak House (great pizza) and more drinks. The next day I took the easy way back to KK and arrived with a little bit rain in back home.
