My Buss is getting dirtier every day,, but hey it's a riding tool and no need to shine all the time,,,
IMG_6567.jpg


This is what i dont understand and mostlikely never will either
WHY thais are destroying and polluting every since view point with all kind of garbage and plastic bottles all over,,,i mean such a nice place to stop and have mice brake and what is waiting for us,, bump yard
IMG_6568.jpg

I finished my water in there and kept my plastic bottle in my banniers as there was no garba bin,,,

OK, enough of that and back to VIEW'S

Then HEY,,My phone ran just after 3pm,, Fearless leader is calling,, hey man watch up,, and i can say his voice did not sound happy at all,,,parently it has been long night last nite and he is talking a nap,, and also heard that GTR DINNER group has chrank to 2 participants,, ME and David,, waaaaat??? where is famous big roupd of GT riders whom i saw in all the photos and every one smiling and having good time??? what happen?? scared of little rain? i rode mre than 1000KM for this and see all of you guys????

I need to find place to stay so i asked Leader to his guidance and he point me to this nice resort
IMG_6593.jpg

all 300thb rooms where booked by BKK peopl but he offer me 700thb bungalow,, i said no, i have only 500 for it and he said no,, so then he said 600 and i said yes,, Is this country wonderfull where one can even bargain for the resort room prices,,,,LOL

man, when i went to inside that house it was dark as Ne@#%*r's arce, not that i have experienced that before
as it did not have windows, just moskito net and doors close and aircon on, it was dar and took abt 20min to my eyes get use to it..

Then after shower and fresh up it was time to meet the "GANG" of thursty GT Riders for happy hr.. well i called fearless leader again and aske where is that joint and it wsa front of the Poilce station,, well i can find that no worries,,
and ofcourse i was in the wrong joint,, but hey good point was that i met one other farang,, one sweding guy with CICYCLE,, with out brakes and he was ring up and down in moutains,,,
HEy talking about Sweden,,, JOKE TIME,, Do you know WHAT Sweden HAS, what FINLAND DONT Have???? GOOD NEIGHBOURS :take-that:
