    I don't think that's a fair assessment it wasn't 75 for long. 

     

    Exchange rates is not the way to look at price rises in Thailand in my book. 

    It was 75 when i brought my money over.

     

    Sure i don't really worry about exchange rates, they are out of my control, i need money i bring money. All one can do.

     

    I was answering to the questions raised by this thread ????

    Yeah but you miss my point of respect if you were on at least a CRF250L like I had out that way once, it was slow but river bed's no problem. ????

    I have  Honda Rally, but keep falling off 555555 Only off once on the CT, and that was alongside the Salawin river, very steep and the front tyre hit a rock causing a wonderful, but uncontrolled wheelie ????

    Cheers that's on my route I'll check it out thx ????     any suggestion appreciated 

    PS the Dam can you ride you bike over it ?

     

    You can ride up to the dam, park and walk along some of it. Worth doing i think.

     

    This is my trip earlier this year in reverse to yours, have a look, they should be some ideas for you.

     

    What do you look for? Fast roads, good views........?

    Only been riding out for a couple hours a day until this covid thing calms down.

    Wouldn't want to stop in Maesot town again horrible place and at the moment has covid problems

    better to stop somewhere just outside before getting there that's if anything is open.

    Use to like the mountain road section.

    Don't know what the road is like now or the road that follows the border from Maesot to Mae hong son years ago there was nothing for a hundreds of kilos or more, lucky to get petrol from a farmhouse just off road. 

    It's all good road now, changed so much. My last trip was this year on a Honda CT125, but i didn't hit R105 south until Mae Yuam.

    Have you any personal recommendation  for accommodation(one night stop0ver) in the Tak area before you reach the 1175... and price ect  Cheers  ????

    If the weather is good as you near MHS take a ride up Ban Microwave, keep going to the masts there, just past them some of the best views in the area are there.

    It is a steep road, one of the steepest in the country.

    Never heard of R1175 it was the R12 all the way, haven't been that way in a while, Sukhothai opened an imm office so no need to go Maesot imm anymore.

    It's just north of Tak and goes through Mae Tuen Forest Park and come out onto the 105 at Mae Ramat. 

    It's a slower road, but my preference due to views.

    To get to Maesot the road where you turn right quite a way out of Tak is where the beginnings of the mountain roads.

    If you want my advice stay a night in Tak because you'll be tired by then and getting through into the mountain roads can have many hazards.

    Also it's nice there and you can take the slower road R1175 which is great.

    Yeah ! it's to get me to the start of my road trip proper ...  After leaving Mae Sot it'll be at a more relaxed pace and taking in the local sites   about 300Km +/- 50km each day  the red line a rough idea of my route  ...  1963779830_Screenshot2021-09-19144452.png.224c82346be65d1b6e128a92385af94f.png

    Nice route, i have done similar a few times. But now i ride to a place with good amenities, stay a few days and go exploring before moving on.

    There is a reason, similar to why Brits have a huge issue with a small piece of fabric that helps protect them and others. In simple terms, stupidity.

    I agree governments are stupid, along with people who think a small piece of fabric will save there life, whatever country they come from.

    What would the alternative look like?

    Look back on the most clever people in the word and ask yourself were they peer reviewed or leaders in their field. 

     

    For example, Edison, Archimedes, Tesla, Da Vinci, Plato, Socrates, the original Buddha.

    Yes and No...basically just for local venues....pinch of salt..LONDON -- Authorities in Britain have decided Not to Require vaccine passports for Entry into Nightclubs and other Crowded events in England. 

    Health Minister Sajid Javid said the government has Shelved the idea of vaccine passports for Now but could Reconsider the decision if COVID-19 cases rise exponentially once again.

    As i said they have been cancelled.

    Yes even the vaccinated, the vaccines reduce hospitalisation and death, that is proven, eventually everyone will get vaccinated or suffer the consequences, and yes we all know it is mostly the elderly that die, so if you don't want to get vaccinated, infect the elderly then good for you, your doing your thing for humanity.

     

    The unselfish will get vaccinated so that those with immunocompromised diseases, i.e. weak immune systems, and the elderly who also have weakened immune systems get years of life to live.

     

    The selfish will continue to inflict death and long Covid, why, because they are all about themselves.

     

    Your choice, and as for vaccine passports they will never work for clubs, stores etc, however should be mandatory for domestic travel and entering other countries.

    so if you don't want to get vaccinated, infect the elderly then good for you, your doing your thing for humanity.

     

    People who worry can take the magic juice, i have no issues with that.

     

    Forcing someone to take it is totally wrong morally, and should be illegal.

    Because if the unvaccinated get infected, they can still infect others also good luck with anyone in the UK getting into a lot of countries without a vaccination passport.

     

    Care to share that link where they cancelled the vaccination passport.

    Because if the unvaccinated get infected, they can still infect others

     

    Even the vaccinated? 

     

    Cancelled. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58535258
