The route 1317, 1006, 1229, 1230, 4074, 2044, 4005, 3005,
Total distance 181 km
A shot from the 1006
Now from the 1230 where sand is being taken from the Nam Mae tha
Now to enjoy the asphalt section of the 1230
The unpaved section starts at N18.46.131 E099.17.353 and finishes at N18.47.290 E099.17.998
The view point at the top
This short off road bit is not too difficult
Now on the narrow road to Ban kunta
The repairs have been finished and it looks a lot better now
A twisty narrow road with no photo opportunities to get scenery shots from
The village name is still there
Some friendly animals live here
I take a dirt track that starts at N18.47.772 E099.20.982 and today I ride uphill on a dry but quite steep track unlike novembers trip when I rode down and it was wet and slippery in places
Its a fun ride and at the top instead of turning left onto a concrete road I turn right to stay on dirt and try out a track that I have not been on before
A very small water crossing
After about 1 km I ride through a small village but see no one about
Out the other side of the village and its a steep uphill climb
I can see some scenery now
This chap confirms the road goes through to Chae Hom
There are a couple of turnings to my right but I keep to the left, I am riding blind as none of these tracks are showing on my GPs maps
Now on a steep downhill bit
Theres a concrete strip running down this bit which is useful as I dont have to worry about locking the wheels up
This bridge rattled a bit as I rode over
A pleasant little jaunt through here
The road turns to paved at N18.49.251 E099.22.927
I take a right upon reaching the 4074 to ride towards Chae Hom
After a while I turn round to ride back along the 4074
All the water crossings are still flowing over the road
A baked ziti at Pizza N Pasta for 119 Baht, very filling and tasty
