Thanks, Marco. I think I did not pass your place - I came down to Yasothon from Mukdahan and picked up 23 at Yaso - I then went the other direction, west/northwest, toward Roi Et and Mahasarakham.

But I'll know what to look for next time I'm over that way. It's a beautiful area of Thailand.

I particularly enjoyed the run from Khong Chiam up to Khemarat, a place I'd like to go back to... The road surface on that section is the worst I saw on this trip, but the country is wild and beautiful and isolated. I'm just glad my flat tire was not there...
