Today I stayed local to Loei City and explored the small mountains I stopped at yesterday.

Most of the photos were taken near here, near to Wat Tham Erawan.

Not sure they could be classed as mountains Chris. More like hillocks.

Great pics.

Today I headed from Chaiyaphum to Korat, on the way I stopped to explore Lam Chiang Krai Reservoir, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/tNzkLF5niGJHrDf76

There were plenty of tracks there, but not on the maps, worth exploring.

Stiddle Mump · February 11

Great pics as usual.

I particularly like the first one today; the water tower.

And two crackers from yesterday.

Thanks.

chrissables · February 12

Today I went riding south of Korat looking for some tracks. Crossing R290 a new road, the track started here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/qiaGRchvUh8vZoVT9

The track came to the Chong Khe River, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/q7PvNrHKZJGYPpL7A

Later on my exploring found a weir, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/tN1su7PjYRdHF2J26

No idea about lakes, i will look. But the meaning in Thai is 101

chrissables · February 13

Today I had a straightforward ride from Korat to Kanchanaburi. The traffic was terrible and the roads way too rutted due to overloaded trucks and presumably roads not build to specification.

The weather has got a lot hotter now I am further south which was pleasant, but I’m sure I will complain its too hot soon enough.

Today I went riding looking for tracks, by accident I found some I had already ridden, but also new tracks too.

After leaving my hotel the tracks started here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/rBGtEXBMq3DnkgcQ8

I returned to the road back about 37km later, here.

Today I went exploring to the same area as yesterday. I wanted to take a photo of the two big trees from the other direction, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/zf62xzfwr5YfNPi69

On the way I found another big tree nearby, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/P23CtBvvrUvbxpDA6

Riding on I passed a motorcross track, that looked unused in a long time, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/DiEhGEEkYHUFn3Q6A

I then headed to the north end of an irrigation channel, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/XB7YAhqhex8HZduk9

I then rode on to a different irrigation channel, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/nFK1YWBaHrSn4wHj6

I rode south and back to Kanchanaburi. But the track goes north, so I may explore tomorrow.

chrissables · Sunday at 08:43 AM

Today was more exploring Kanchanaburi, my first stop was the start of an irrigation channel, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/2v4vTCR5tYo9sWwn6

It’s a flat compacted gravel track and easy to ride, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/EsFQTPaXUXyosfnN7

From here I rode to the next track starting here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/xyD9D7uKxBYFuZVT8

This goes through Huay Sapan Samakke Community Forest. The track has a few areas of soft sand to keep you on your toes and finishes here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/eD66btiAr3vindXr6

The next track started here, heading down to Mae Klong Dam, here.

Certainly some interesting places you visit Chris. That pic (below) is especially nice. Just leads the eye to the mysterious hill in the distance.

Thanks.

Today, day 100 of my tour involved just a little riding, but was a good day.

First, I went to have a new set of tyres fitted. The next few hours sorting out some errands. By the time I had finished it was already late morning, so I changed my ride to go see the Thai Kanchanaburi Paper Mill, a derelict group of building and a museum you can’t enter, here.

Today I headed north of Kanchanaburi, my first stop was at a weir, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/NYSQt6m7YsrLgo65A

Riding north on a small lane a found what turned out to be a golf course, here.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/nXW35HXv9Jeid23K6

There were no golfers or greens and looks like it’s been abandoned. But there we plenty of concrete tracks to ride, so I did! Great fun, any locals just smiled and I had no issues until I was riding across a field and came off due to a rut hidden by leaves.

I did manage to get a photo of my bike from an unusual angle!
