Bicycle daytrips in southern Khamphaeng Phet, northern Nakhon Sawan provinces (around 300 road kms north from central Bkk) in January 2026:

My wife is from Lat Yao , Nakhon Sawan and we visit her mother often there. It is a beautiful area with some peaceful and stunning scenery.

Often visit Wat Khao No just to see those crazy monkeys !! some great scenery on that stretch of the highway, between Nakhon Sawan and Kamphaeng Phet.

Your photos remind me of a much loved French poster who rode everywhere by bicycle and his trademark was to put his bicycle in the foreground of many of his photos.

Went by the name of Assurancetourix (ATX ), he posted some wonderful photos, hopefully you have the same success.

If its not your bike in the photo, how do we know you were really there?

If you see my previous bike in a photo, let me know where, because it was stolen almost a year ago. It looks almost exactly the same as my current bike, but with a Giant basket instead of a Topeak basket. And its cleaner. Or it was when it was stolen, anyway.

Was it stolen in Thailand? If yes, what scenario? Big city / village, day / night, locked / open? I was totally careless with my bike and never even worried, and nothing happened. I only locked it in inner provincial capitals. I thought Thais despise bicycles.

Are you serious about that? Generally i think pics w/out bicycle are nicer. But i include some bicycle pics only in a report for bicyclists, maybe pics with bicycle feel more "engaging" and "activating" and "tickling" for keen bicyclists.

By including bicycle pics, I never meant to prove i was there. I don't think it proves much.

It was stolen in Toronto, Canada. I was sitting outside a pub, enjoying a beer, and thought my bike was quite safe a few metres away behind me; I should've sat on the other side of the table... Now, I lock it every time I go out of reach of it.

Or maybe it was taken in the few minutes I was inside the pub paying my bill.
