Before the bridges {} {} Roadworks in 91: widening & getting it ready for asphalt after the wet. The mountain pass north of Suk Ruthai was a a huge cut {} {} {} {} {} Looking better {}
Dave, has anything changed since then??? :wink: The hollow's got bigger - ATM + 7-11- but it is still relatively sleepy & one of my favourite over night destinations.
R1089, on the road to Doi Mae Salong from Tha Ton {} Dumped it on one of the smaller steep rutted tracks between R1089 & R1234, trying to get to Doi Mae Salong another way. I understand this track is now asphalt. {} {} Hanging out with the Yao gals at Pa Dua. {} Doi Mae Salong {} We used to stay at the old Mae Salong guesthouse & it was one of the grubbiest noisiest ghouses Ive ever stayed in. {} But the morning wet market with all the Akhas was right outside the front door. {} You had to park your bikes outside, & in the morning the market was set up around your bikes. Try & do that nowadays!
Interesting! I'm very pleased it's not like that anymore. My dirt track/offroad days are long over. DMS is still a lovely place though, always a bit "one horse" but all the better for that.
Jan 95. {} my favourite Doi Mae Salong aunty - the sala pow lady. She used to be one of the highlights of Doi Mae Salong. Sadly gone now.
In Sept 94, R1095 Tha Ton - Mae Chan, had a flash flood around Suk Ruthai approx 20kms norh of Tha Ton. {} {} {} {} {} {} {}
