CT125 Winter Tour

[chrissables]

This morning I left Ban Kruat to go photo some elephants In Surin. On the way I stopped at a random rice field to take some photos.

 

In Surin almost all the elephants I saw were chained up, so I moved on.

 

On the way to Korat I witnessed a bad accident where a Thai farmer on his motorbike turned in front of a car. It hit him full on. He was still alive when I left but not a good day for him.

Isaan looks so exotic.

Today was day 23 of my ride. Leaving Korat my first stop was Barai Sawan Bamboo Bridge, which was collapsing and not worth a visit.

Nearby was Prasat Ban Prang, here.

This is in the school grounds.

 

My next stop was at Suang Reservoir, here.

Thanks for sharing your travels you seem to find Khmer ruins like Prasat Ban Prang that I have missed.  I have added it to my map so will plan to visit it next time I'm in that area.

Ray arrived last night to join me again for exploring.

 

Today was a straightforward 325km ride from Khon Kaen to Pitsanalok along R12.

 

We stopped at Huai Tong Bridge, here.

Today Ray and I left Pitsanalok heading to Tak, first we headed north alongside the Nan River, riding the farmers tracks where possible.

 

We stopped at Naresuan Dam, here.

We then found a nodding donkey oil pump, here, but they stopped me taking photos.

A good ride of 180 km today.
