CT125 Winter Tour

[chrissables]

I left Betong today and started riding north, there were plenty of shower storms around, but I managed to miss them.

 

I stopped at Highway Viewpoint, here.

Riding along the coast to Songkla I stopped at an unnamed beach, here.

It was very windy with sand in the wind. A little less wind you could fly a hang glider or paraglider off the sand dune edge.

 

A little further up the coast workmen were  cutting down trees and the road was blocked for a while. It was then a straight ride into town.

When there I changed my mind and headed for Trang, cutting a few hours off of my ride.

There are storms about, I can hear the thunder, but in my room, so no problem.

The place I usually stay was full, so I tried Sisina Resort, here.

A nice place set back from the beach, worth a look if staying here.

Today was a local day at Ban Krut. I went to the beach for sunrise and a walk about.

 

Later I rode along the coast to a small bridge, here.

From here I rode along the coast as much as possible until I arrived at Prachuap.

Today I carried on with my ride north and from Prachuap Khiri Khan and rode to Kanchanaburi. The sunset was again great to watch.

 

I only stopped at the Rain Tree, outside of Kanchanaburi, here.

Today, after taking some photos of the garden at my hotel I went riding the tracks alongside irrigation channels in Kanchanaburi. I have ridden them before, but always nice to ride.

Day 131. 20.03.25. Kanchanaburi to Bangkok

 

Nearly home now. I rode from Kanchanaburi to Bangkok in about three hours, most of the way the traffic was ok, even where the skytrain now is running. Before always very busy.

Yesterday I arrived back home in Pattaya from Bangkok after 132 days riding and 19,250km.

 

There was just one puncture at the start of the ride, which was a slow puncture so easy to get repaired.

 

I started the trip with a new set of tyres and replaced them one time on route. I had the bike serviced 2 times with a service now due.

 

I had weld repairs to the tool box 4 times and always at a local shop and done quickly.

 

Luckily only one accident, I was not hurt and the motorbike had no damage.

 

There is a screenshot of almost all of my trip in the photos.

Great adventure. Great pics.

 

Take my hat off to you Chriss.

[rhodie]

A spectacular effort. Well done Chris. 

[johng]

What tyres and inner tubes are you using ?

 

They used this below for inspiration when building the new motorway over a pedestrian foot bridge that made the news the other day 😋

Thanks for all the impressive pictures, I take my hat off as well for such an incredible journey.
