Total distance 138 km
As I was getting ready to ride out I saw a lot of food ready and thought it was a party for the Chinese new year
No it was for Buddah
Buddah certainly eats well in these parts
I ride out of town on the 5009
A well surfaced twisty road that I have never been on before, thanks Peter for pointing this one out
The Mun river is not flooding now though like it was when Peter wrote about it
I ride on enjoying the 5009 until I reach Yang Chum Noi
Here I take a right onto the 2168
Theres lots of places along this road with chillies out drying and its a very pungent smell as I ride past
The 2168 is another well surfaced road
I reach the 226 and turn right then soon take a left onto the 2360
Some sand is being excavated here
Hes trying to drive out but the wheels are spinning
We all get behind and push and off it goes
I am surprised at the very low water level here
No school today so lots of kids out riding their bikes
Going by these chunks of road material in the river bed I guess the bridge collapsed at some time
Just down the road and a bit of an accident
That truck looks a bit mangled
Apparently the drivers in hospital
The trucks occupant appears to be unharmed though
I ride on and after a few km the road becomes the 2125 and takes me to the 221 where I turn right and ride back to Si Saket
This tree is growing at a funny angle
I get back to my hotel and obviously Buddah was very hungry as all the food has been eaten
A salami pizza at Franks tonight for 175 Baht
I go to my usual ice cream parlour but its closed down and the girl has moved elsewhere
Her Brother has the coffee shop a few doors along and also does ice cream so I eat one here, 35 Baht for this
