Sad news indeed! RIP

My name is in my blue book. But i only saw a while ago, had the book 18 years. Maybe in the past it was ok to have.

Lot of people ride around happily with no issues. People who have very little experience should be very careful.

I mean it was not free, he paid, and if the surgery was done badly i would understand his complaint. I talk from experience as i was blinded by a doctor here who demanded money to try and save my sight.

If the operation was free, say thanks. For sure it was not.

Today was day 34 and the final day of my trip which was from Ban Kruat to Pattaya a 381km ride. A great trip, only two incidents, hitting a buffalo and in Pattaya today I was rear ended by a motorbike taxi guy, no damage and no problem. Great views everywhere it seems and the trip has given me more ideas for exploring. https://www.relive.cc/view/vPOpr1zwmRq

Today was my last day here in Ban Kruat and I rode around local sites. First I went to a small lake I spotted a few days before to see if it was worth photographing. Then to another old temple, Prasat Thamo which is being kept upright by scaffolding. https://goo.gl/maps/N6mBqCXu1RWfZWHt8 I then backtracked a little to another old temple, Prasat Noi Monastery. Basically ancient random building blocks scattered around with lots of litter too. https://goo.gl/maps/i2WJANMHP1GYAXhV7 https://www.relive.cc/view/vPv4RdDgoR6

Today I rode west from Ban Kruat exploring. First stop was Lam Pathia Reservoir. https://goo.gl/maps/gH6C2E9QBcDrREtz5 Just up the road another reservoir, Lam Changhan Reservoir. https://goo.gl/maps/QhMt2Qsu14iLCCJ56 My next stop again not far was Kumpalak 150 million year old stone holes. Some of which were not fenced off, so do walk around at night! https://goo.gl/maps/Yz5ofFGnyU446Qep6 Next near to Nang Rong Reservoir was Prasat Nong Hong for a few photos. Lunch at the Nang Rong Reservoir and a ride home missing the storms. https://goo.gl/maps/QVyy3p26oz7Jzg4A6 https://www.relive.cc/view/vevYQpGjAyv

I have ridden further on the CT125, but it was not fun.

Yesterday I rode 480km from Kanchanaburi to Ban Kruat in Buriram. This morning I rode local to a few places I wanted to photograph, the first place all the big trees I wanted to photo at the side of a reservoir had been cut down and there ground works going on, totally ruined the place. Next was a small pond which in the past had been very good for taking photos as there was lots of plant life and insects everywhere. This was another failure no lotus flowers or weeds and few insects. I decided to move on a take some photo’s of a Khmer Temple I visited earlier in my trip. Prasat Ta Muean. https://goo.gl/maps/d7Lc2wKRqsfFGhA37

Today I went exploring locally at Kanchanaburi City. I actually found a railway cutting I had no knowledge of, which was interesting. My first stop was Chuk Don Beach which was a tourist trap and of no interest to me. https://goo.gl/maps/JXMEWuH2qCgJ7pnr8 I then stopped to walk around Chong Kai Allied War Cemetery for a while. https://goo.gl/maps/5CjnGtwV8RP1Kx5V8 Riding about in the countryside crisscrossing the railway line I went to Waterfront View Point (Pier), Wat Tham Khao Pun https://goo.gl/maps/fVazf5MvGbSp3aqF9 Another tourist spot be at least good views of the river. Zooming in on Google maps I found the Mountain Cutting that was near. You park by the floating restaurants and carry on to gain access, but it is padlocked. The way in that is not clear if a lorry is parked is to walk directly to the railway embankment as far as you can and turn left to walk along a makeshift and overgrown path until you find the steps up to the railway and you will see the cutting straight away. Strangle enough there was elephant crap on the railway! https://goo.gl/maps/5yhUVfSDGkoWcXhj8

Thanks, i have a Fuji X-pro 3. Great for me as actual dials to set.

When you are on the MHS loop ride up to here, there are wonderful views. Keep going past the microwave towers and and it a small hill on the left. https://goo.gl/maps/v5kqgriGTaF3oG5K8

sounds good. I will be on tour later in the year again.

I don't usually ride that long and like to take it slowly taking in the views and taking photos

A bit too long, but ok ????

Yesterday my planned ride was from Mae Sariang to Tak. On route I stopped to take a look at Mae Tawo Pier on the Moei River. I took some photos of the Burmese travelling in the long tail boats across the river. https://goo.gl/maps/VFtWosLSAfstLx2HA From here I rode onto Tak, It was still only 1.30pm and no rain, so I decided to carry on to Kanchanaburi got a bit wet in the storms that passed by and arrived after nearly 11 hours and 700km. https://goo.gl/maps/VFtWosLSAfstLx2HA https://www.relive.cc/view/vNOPQ7DXd26

Today I rode another loop out from Mae Sariang. First I stopped to photograph some rice terracing, then I headed south off R108 on R3005 which was very similar to riding in Nan, stunning views and a roller coaster ride. https://www.relive.cc/view/v36AxGe3WZO

It's great here and never ending trails if that's what you want.

Today i rode a very nice loop out from Mae Sariang with plenty of great views. https://www.relive.cc/view/vYvrVV2WpLv

Day 23. 26.06.23 I woke early to ride to Mae Sariang and it was pissing down! Forecast 90% rain so I decided to stay another day as I am in no hurry to go anywhere. But the rained stopped and it was a dry day until 3pm! Day 24. 27.06.23. Chiang Mai to Mae Sariang I took a detour to ride to Mae Sariang today as there was no rain a great ride and I found a small valley with some rice terracing I did had not noticed before. https://www.relive.cc/view/vKv2YYz2N4q
