Si Saket-A Gentle Ride Around

**Captain_Slash** · 6th January 2011, 07:09 PM

The route 2373, 2168, 2382, 2404, 2408, 2351, 5009

Total distance 130 km

First thing this morning was an oil change for only 110 Baht (one of the many benefits of having a domestically produced bike) then out along the 2373 for a very gentle ride around smelling the roses and waving to the locals.
First photo is of the Kut Toe Reservoir

Along the 2382

I ride to Khueang Nai but Marco is not feeling like a visit today, I say hello to his wife at her pharmacy, buy some medicine then ride back along the 2404

I seem to cross a lot of water today and this appears to be the Huai Ruea

Plenty of onions here, I didnt get to smell any roses today but certainly got a good whiff of these onions

I turn right at N15.17.885 E104.27.510 and ride 1.4 km to the Chi River at N15.18.623 E104.27.407, this is an asphalt road despite not showing on my gps

Today I find out why the Chi River seems to be so much fuller than the Mun River, it has a dam

More workers on the ride back

A cheeseburger and fries at Franks for 135 Baht

Good morning Colin

Nice to read your trips

Regarding your trip,, ok i did not know as i did not speak my wife at all i was sleeping, as day before you wisit i was chaching some stupid local dogs who sleep and make a marks to my house fence, so i Fell and that fell was REALLY BAD for me, 1st of all my right hand side small finger got broken and pain like hell, then ALL my FRONT (Left&Right) side ribs where hit and as they where broken before they took very bad hit and some of them got loose again and I have to say that i was in really bad condition and when i spoke to my doctor in Ubon, he told me that my ribs will take 3mths before i can start falling again,,, I have to say now that my life is not good at all, i just cant do anything nowdays

But as always nice to read your trips, Colin
