Awesome Ride Last Weekend

[arnoldjr]

Thought to have a quick blast out of town for the long weekend. Turned out to be a pretty good ride so I thought I'd share a few pics.

So the plan was to take off Saturday morning and catch Phetkasem Road/Hwy 4 our to 323 and then hit a few side roads once we got there.

Let me recommend to anyone taking a trip this way. Avoid Phetkasem like the plague!!!! Worst way to start a ride, deadlock traffic out to Western Outer Ring Road. After that pretty much smooth sailing and once we hit 323 couldn't have been any better. Stopped off at the hotel in Kanjanaburi to drop off our bags and grab some lunch then had a quick blast up to Nam Tok Sai Yok and back to town before eating some dinner and having a few drinks.

Had a bit of a navigational hiccup at the start of day 2 but not much of a problem, we were soon back on our way around Kanjanaburi province.

Heading out was a stop at an old cave temple that was used by the Japanese as a hospital in WW2

Another shot of the grounds of the temple

Overlooking the river in Kanajaburi

Another great view

Modern day train traveling on the infamous "Death Railway"

Beginning of Day 2 looking down the road on Hwy 3228 awesome sweeping curves nice road condition which we later picked up 3209 and on to 3492.

Heading down 3209 on the way back to 323 returning to Bangkok there we a lot of sugar cane farmers harvesting their crop this time of year.

All in all a great trip. Now looking forward to the next one in Chiang Mai.

Ride safe.

Nice trip report! Kanchanaburi has some great roads, beautiful scenery and fun nightlife, but getting there can be a royal PITA!

Ride On!
