SumetCycle Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) I recently took a trip up to Kanjanaburi with some friends. We stayed at Erawan National Park and did the Si Sawat Loop a couple of times. If anyone is looking for a challenging ride with incredible roads, this place is for you. Here is a link to the route map from Erawan to Sri Sawat. In my opinion, this was the best part of the ride. http://g.co/maps/zhxk2 Edited January 24, 2012 by SumetCycle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumetCycle Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 We might do another trip at the end on February. Would you be interested in coming along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hehehoho Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Probably would depending on time... we're moving into a new house the 1st of March, so I'll probably be busy watching the wife buy lots and lots of crap around that time. Where's the planned destination? Edited January 25, 2012 by hehehoho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gippy Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I did that ride on my 650R a couple of weeks ago, it's a great bit of road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumetCycle Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) We are still planning on going. We are planning on staying at or just outside Erawan National Park. So far we have more than 10 bikes going. We are going to book accommodations in the next day or two. I'll give you guys more details when we get this and the itinerary sorted. Thanks.

Whale Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I did it last week and went all the way around to Bo Ploi (crap accommodation only and I do not recommend at all). Lot of leaves on the moon bay road (Si sawat curly thing) but great sticking to the centre line which was leaf free and gravel free. We got through the whole thing without an oncoming car/truck so was a blast. If you do continue on further north be aware that the roads are not that much used and loose gravel was an issue for me twice with road tires, luckily on slow stretches and she stayed up. Definitely a great ride and plan to get back out there in a few weeks but to do as you are planning and come back through the loops again. We continued on down to Chumporn, some excellent weather and riding down there also. Edited January 27, 2012 by Whale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanForbes Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 That is the trip where I tore up my shoulder and elbow when I hit oil on one of the hairpin corners north of Erawan. But, it was a great ride. I highly recommend it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withnail Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Sorry I didn't take many pics. Had a great time though so would like to see some more. Well done to the staff at Sumet for organizing. I think they did a pretty decent job of getting everybody there and back safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
