My ride today was mostly local to Chiang Mai, I went looking for rain trees I saw previously. On my way I found a small park with rain trees too, here.

From here I could see the original trees I was looking for, but I road around in circles for a long time until I found them.

The view from these trees looks back over Chiang Mai to Doi Suthep.

 

I then rode to a bridge over Mae Kuang River, here.

I then rode farmers tracks in the area before returning.

Today, day 50 of my trip I left Chiang Mai riding south on the road that runs alongside the railway which is far nicer than R11. I then turned onto small country lanes following rivers and irrigation channel until I eventually arrived at Mae Thip Reservoir again, here.

I rode across the dam and into the jungle to see how far I could get. Just under two km was all due to the high water levels, but worth a look before returning.

Today I rode north again up to the weir I passed yesterday.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/z3SWEMtmXTZkP5yWA

 

Instead of continuing north I took a turn east to see where it went. On both Gaia and Google maps it shows a few hundred meters, but it turned out there was an unpaved track that followed the River Ping, roughly 9km until it came to a paved area with a car wreck advertising a car repair garage!

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/PfUmCXsL3hkHNMbC6

 

From here I decided to ride back along the track and back to Chiang Mai.

Today I again rode north to find some tracks, on the way I spotted a rather iffy foot bridge, here.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Jozm73hTvm4mgKVb7

 

I turned off the main road and the track started here.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/xh7bbEaLZCdmgGym7

 

I continued to a point where there was a stream crossing, here.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/mv6StDktf9Zqjf61A

 

The track did continue after the stream crossing, but I decided to return and ride tracks that are behind The Royal Chiang Mai Golf Resort.

 

I then rode on to Wat Phra That Chom Kitti (Wat Phra That Doi Kitchi) which is on a hill overlooking rice fields westwards.

Today, day 65 of my trip I headed east out of Chiang Rai to check out a weir-pumping station on the River Kok, here.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/mMmXS8x7kKUE2B9b9

 

I then rode onto the dam at Huai Khilek Reservoir, here.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/mGrNCr8QQLZK12917

 

From the dam it was all unpaved road I rode along it and the tracks on the west side of the reservoir, before returning and riding the tracks on the east side.

 

There was a small temple I rode past, Mongkhon Weluwan Temple, here.

Today I rode south from Chiang Rai to visit Mae Lao Weir, thanks to Michael John for the heads up.

 

I followed an irrigation channel there, starting here.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/g8x1BAfz7Fxp6eEk7

 

I followed it all the way to Mae Lao Weir, here.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Vfjdf5NNEJ2SHEgP8

 

After crossing the weir, I followed the irrigation channel to here.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZNbVCbiDSknmGQiY7

 

I then looped around and rode to Sai Khao Reservoir, here.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/3nYgcDb6cGs41WfB7

 

I then went exploring tracks in the jungle and eventually after crossing two very small streams in a narrow stretch I turned around as soon as there was room and returned to Chiang Rai.

 

A really cracking ride today.

Today while exploring rice fields north east of Chiang Rai, I came to a weir I need to cross to continue my ride, but unfortunately half of it had been washed away presumably in the recent flooding.

 

The weir was where Mae Ngam ran into The River Kok, here.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/eTJ6cvFdRuHPUQXPA

 

After back tracking and riding a large loop, I managed to find the opposite side of the weir behind Wat Phra That Ku Kaew Doi Ngam, here.

 

Here I photographed a local net fishing.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/G96FY8MPpzpaCiKi7

 

From here I rode over Chalermprakiat Bridge 2, here.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/t1uJEQaWf4WuRkLr7

 

Then onto Nong Luang Reservoir, here.

 

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Pp6Dpj3EUG6SNSEC7

 

After looping around the reservoir I returned to Chiang Rai
