Another trip to add to my growing list.B)

Any problem two up?:huh:

Clearly not :)

Its just up the road from where you was on Sunday. take a left instead of a right at the bottom of that Mountain .

There is potential to take in Woralaks mountain as well as phu chi faa , and the waterfall down raylo's way, and a few more things too. In a long Circular day ride from town via Thoeng . Two up and with a few stops for refreshments.

Need to send a scouting party first to make sure 'Starbucks' are expecting us every 30 mins or so ;)

So, do we have a ride coming together for this month? It is starting to look like a woralak outing is in the making. The route seems to be working itself out. But, can he make pancakes?

Is anyone out there VERY, VERY familiar with the ins and outs of motorcycle GPS units? The wife is looking to add a few models and needs some advice on what is what. If you're up to speed on these, please stop in and have a chat with her. Don't need to drag it out here on the thread. She much prefers to have it explained in person. I suspect there is a lunch in it as well.

The problem is he's at the other end of the ride from you guys in town. Do you all meet in the middle ? .

Most of us I would suspect use the one's designed for Cars. There's a Huge, Huge difference in price but not functionality.

Serious offroad types would probably use ones designed for walking/Trekking etc...

Well, that would be up to the group, of course. But sooner or later, I would suspect that we would all be willing to meet the further out members for a ride in their neck of the woods. Not really fair to always have it in our vicinity. Either way, I'll be joining him in the future, sooner or later, for a ride in that area.

I was going to post independent of Wozzles that this thread seemed to have died since big brother stepped in but

he (W) has turned that around and put us on track for another ride. Good on ya Woz.

Would like to know about the pork he pickeed up. Sounded like a good buy and evening meal solution.

I am still willing to come up that way for a ride so if a couple of others say 'aye" we have a ride.If its raining like

today. Nope. I did Chiang Rai, Mae Sai and Chiang Kong in the truck today and it is now nicely & thickly camouflaged

in red and so glad I did not take the bike.

Lastly I would like to add that as was informally discussed last week by members of the undercommittee charged with

advising the steering committee these rides are not a race or a marathon. Just a bunch of farts getting together and

enjoying themselves and their machinery, hopefully with their partners, while getting to see the country we now live in.

We need this message to get across to the readers who read but never join in!

Kd i'm sure we could accommodate your pancake addiction.

Scorpio no probs 2 up.

Jubbs (IMHO) i think Doi Pha Tang and the temple for the view would be enough for a day ride especially for the guys coming from CR, maybe a stop over (if their inclined) for Phu chi faa/waterfall the next day.

Anybody who wants to do a trip over these parts alone or in a group please let me know, your welcome to call in here for a break.

Good on ya raylo, it's true we old farts just like to plod nowadays, but we still get there in the end, and like you said it's all about getting together and enjoying the day with old and new friends. Ya should a called in and had a cuppa or a tinny,when you came through CK, maybe next time.

I'm game if we have a few others who don't mind a longer ride. It would probably be an overnighter for me but I need to get out of town for a night once in a while and CK has some decently priced rooms. I would probably make a break for home kind of early in the afternoon, regardless of whether the ride route had reached its full potential or not. But for folks whose butts are used to the cycle seat, it isn't that big of a deal for a day ride done in one day. I hear there is at least one scooter joining us soon for a ride also, if it is held on the right day of the week. Also heard of one fellow wanting to come along with his pickup truck. Sounds good to me.

One other note: It was mentioned that if it is held on the Monday after the Sunday potluck, some feel they can't really justify two back to back trips to town. So maybe someone has some other ideas on a day of the week that is better than Monday. But for me, any day is good,

Any week day as long as we have advance notice.

Want to try to get to the pot luck so if it is on the day before and I have to choose which one the bike ride wins.

And Sweet Cheeks leave the butt jokes alone

Is this ride to occur before the 28th? If so, I'd love to join in, if not, will be interested when I get back in other group runs.

Hi it would be good to have you along, on or near the 28th is a no go becuase of the pot luck (what i hope to attend this time), songkran is about to take off and they normally start early with the water throwing (over this way anyway), so i'll put my idea up for debate How's about Thur 24th (weather permitting) it's not looking good at the mo but hopefully it will improve.

The roads are all tarmac so there wont be any probs with bikes getting bogged down if the water has not dispersed.

All that has to be decided is the date and the meeting place (my place) or any other suggestions that anyone else wants to make.

Alternatively, the townies can make there way to Chiang Khong by the normal highways and do the Wiang kean leg with us too. It would be a shame to miss the River Views on the Wiang Kean Leg. from Doi Pha Tang, people can make there own way home via the nice twisty and picturesque back way to Thoeng and onwards and homewards.

      Thailand's Expats Urged to Register with TRD for Tax, Says Expert

      Okay, well I won't bury my head in the sand. Today I will visit my local tax office and register for a TIN. Now, as I'm not that great on a computer I would appreciate a little technical help, please, Kasikorn has sent me three forms to fill out in a PDF format. Is there a way of filling out these forms without printing them off and filling the forms out manually?

      Getting Old: Stoic About It or Endless Whinger?

      Where I live (for tax purposes - I'm rather nomadic occasionally) I was able to WORK and draw a pension for a year and a half. Legally. Goddam EU marxist communism. It's $hi7, stay in the US or the UK. You'd hate it here. And don't get me started on how much holiday I got or the health issues that I didn't pay a penny for in the socialist hell of Germany. Late in life and retired after a lifetime of good universal healthcare the docs are giving me a clean bill of health and I'm just wondering what to do with the last third or so, roughly, of my available adult years. I can't rock climb or tackle obstacles the way I once could. My shoulder is threatening me with some violence in a not too distant future. I have to be careful with my back and couldn't punch my way out of a wet paper bag these days. However I still do hefty gym work and cardio, swim, am active, travel and enjoy life, have lots of fun. But the body is definitely dying and the aches and pains I wake up with sometimes were never there as a young man. The wrinkles set to come are already hinting at the maps they'll draw on my face and the loose skin that will develop on my arms is beginning to pucker. There's no escaping that. I find those thoughts comforting rather than trying to deny it though. Dying is, in the end, just another issue to deal with in life. I'm more worried about the how than the fact itself and I am quite prepared to put an end to me myself if things get really bad. I do hope though that I can get the remainder of the things done I want to do before I get that far. I've made it a priority not to die regretting things I haven't done. But who knows?

      Young Male Elephant Found Dead in Natural Canal in Chachoengsao For the second time in less than two weeks, the death of a young wild elephant has been reported in Chachoengsao Province. A 4-5-year-old male elephant was found dead, floating bloated in a natural canal overgrown with thick aquatic vegetation near the forest edge behind Nong Krating Village in Sanam Chai Khet District.

      Marrying a Thai Wife: Overrated or Underrated?

      Someone thinks too much. Fantasy vs Reality ... who comes up with this stuff. Take the word 'Thai' out. It's a woman, hopefully, if that your preference. No different than any other woman of the world. Same everywhere, emphasis on 'potentially' ... as all people aren't ... ... beautiful (sounds a bit shallow) ... caring, good luck with that ... devoted, divorce rates not different ... values family and home life ??? More important, do you want to be married and or .... why ? You're marrying the woman, not the family. Why would you support anyone else ? Is this something you do in home country ? Cultural compatibly and the rest is just made up BS. You're 2 people, you get along or you don't. The rest is just BS excuses people use when things fail. Like all relationships, either works or doesn't, no need for excuses. What makes you happy, what makes her happy, and if not like minded, it will fail. Culture, language, other people have nothing to do with it. The fantasy of marriage is a failed institution, and why so many fail. 2 people finding out everything there is to know about each other and still liking each other .... GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE My advice ... if never wanting to be divorced, never get married. That piece of paper is a fantasy, and for many, a curse.

      Tour Boat Capsizes in Cheow Lan Dam in Storm: Search for Missing French Tourist

      Boats in Thailand - ferries, long tail, large, small, whatever type that carries passengers/customers are in the same league as motorbike taxis. If you board one, you are putting your life at the mercy of the boat operator and the tour operator. If that is the only mode of transport to a location, I won't be visiting it. In more developed countries, the first thing that would happen to the person in charge of the boat and all crew members - a urine test for alcohol and drugs...and not the BS roadside quickie test but the kind that go to a lab for testing.

      Young Male Elephant Found Dead in Natural Canal in Chachoengsao

      For the second time in less than two weeks, the death of a young wild elephant has been reported in Chachoengsao Province. A 4-5-year-old male elephant was found dead, floating bloated in a natural canal overgrown with thick aquatic vegetation near the forest edge behind Nong Krating Village in Sanam Chai Khet District. Mr. Supatwee Kulsaree, President of the Tha Kradan Subdistrict Administrative Organisation (SAO), coordinated with Captain Wasan Panthum, Commander of the 1306th Ranger Company, to inspect the site after receiving a report from local villagers. The area where the elephant was found is currently part of an effort to push back a herd of over 80 wild elephants that have been foraging in local farmland. At the scene, the forest elephant monitoring team of Tha Kradan SAO, led by Mr. Supatwee, worked alongside the village head of Moo 20 and integrated efforts with soldiers from the 1360th Ranger Company and the 1st Infantry Division, 111th Infantry Regiment. A drone equipped with a camera was deployed to monitor the large elephant herd and ensure safety. The deceased young elephant was discovered floating in a natural canal densely covered with aquatic plants near the forest edge behind Nong Krating Village in Moo 20, Tha Kradan Subdistrict. The discovery prompted local authorities to bring in heavy machinery, including a backhoe, under the direction of Village Chief Saroj Laisuwan, to manage the situation. Meanwhile, a veterinary team from the Wildlife Rescue Center Region 2 (Krabok Khu), located in Klong Takrao Subdistrict, Tha Takiap District, was dispatched to examine the elephant’s body. Initial investigations suggest the young elephant may have wandered away from its herd, become disoriented, and fallen into the thickly vegetated canal, where it drowned. The strong odor of decomposition led villagers to the site. Veterinary staff also retrieved the tusks from the elephant for further analysis. Given the bloated condition of the carcass and the natural cause of death, the remains were buried near the discovery site. Mr. Supatwee Kulsaree and Captain Wasan Panthum have announced plans to strengthen efforts to drive the herd of over 80 elephants back into the forest, aiming to protect villagers currently harvesting their rice crops.
