What a beautiful day for a ride!

Left Bangkok in the dark at 0515 and enjoyed a beautiful sunrise reflecting off the flooded fields in Prachinburi.

Some cool vintage Vespas near Chai Badan-

Kawasaki Versys, Triumph Sprint ST, and Ducati Multistrada

Blasted up the 21 and reached Khao Kho, Petchabun just after noon for lunch at a beautiful resort-

Then north on the 203 to Dan Sai and finally Loei where we checked in to the King Hotel, caught up with Sarge from Surin and enjoyed a fantastic meal at Chris's Restaurant.

We're all beat from a long day and going to bed early tonight. Tomorrow we continue to Nan!

Happy Trails!

A short video- Kawasaki Versys following Triumph Sprint ST and Ducati Multistrada 1100S :lol:

You have probably done this somewhere before and if so just point me in right direction but wanted to ask if I may waht type of video gear and mountings are you using and how do you turn off/ on.

Thanks

Hi Monty,

All my bike vids are taken with GoPro HD :)

Great little camera, though I think I will try a Contour HD next.

Ride On!

Cool stuff. See ya for beers in CM. Unfortunately can't join as I just came back through Nan from a little dirt tour to Luang Prabang (trip report coming).... my wrist is a little out of shape after a brief and hard meeting with the asphalt and I need to get back to working, too.

Perfect riding conditions right now. Sunny, dry, and cool. It's amazing.

Hey Nikster- was great to catch up with you and Luke and Franz and the rest of the gang at #1 bar. Your trip to Laos sounds like a blast and I'd like to re-visit Laos on a dirtbike in the near future.

Fun blast up Doi Inthanon, though a fair bit of holiday traffic to dodge ;)

At times it felt like we were the tourist attraction?! :huh:

Then down the back road to Mae Chaem for coffee and Khao Soi :lol:

Oh! And after lunch I got bit by a dog, but fortunately as I was wearing good gear the pooch only got to chew on CE armor and not my leg B)

The 1263 to Khun Yuam was busted up in spots but wasn't as rough as Ian led us to believe.

And the 108 to Mae Hong Song is world class!

Pleasant rooms at the Rong Thai Guesthouse only 600 baht and walking distance from everything-

383666_10151003753030710_508210709_22061235_1737511120_n.jpg

Checked out the night market followed by dinner and drinks at the Crossroads and a 2 hour massage to work out the kinks. Life is good!

GoPro HD retails for around $300 in the US and 12,999 baht in Thailand :)

Did you hit Chiang Mai yet?

Would be quite nice to meet up with a fellow Versys owner from out of town.

CM was crazy busy on account of the holiday and a big sports tournament. All hotels booked; we ended up staying at a love hotel! :lol:

(Actually pretty darn nice for only 500 Baht, big clean rooms, great location and free porn!)

Catch you next time!

How'd the bikes run around the top of Inthanon? ...Reaching the peak on a CBR 150 is NOT fun !..felt like it was running on rubber bands.

A couple areas of construction between Mae Sariang and Mae Sot- the parts that are finished are superbike material. Someday this will be an epic road. For now it's a bit dusty in spots, but wow, what a view!

Leaving Mae Sot-

Shame that turn signal is in the way- those young monks in the Tuk Tuk were very photogenic.

Need to find a better place to mount the camera.

Ride On!

The rest of the guys parked across the street in front of Salaween, which was closed for the holiday-
