Recently they have put up new sign-age on this road.... Just to confuse the few people that use the road!

First sign....

There is only one road to Maenam... Shortcuts, implies more than one!

One get the impression to turn left on the first sign, but the second sign in the distance says go straight

Then a bit further on....sign to Khao Pom.... There is nothing there except a few farms and a waterfall (at certain times of the year)

Yet one would get the impression there is a town or at least a village...

...Can't be any worse than the main only road from Mae Sariang to Mae Sot...

Still, with the new Enterprise zone being set up at Mae Sot, and all things ASEAN being pushed, these will soon be Super Highways.....

Old and new...

I don't know which one was the culprit but last Sunday the day before this was taken, there were 4 novice monk initiations

and a funeral (I should make a movie about that) in the local village.This bloke got off a motorbike at 7.30am and proceeded

to deliver one of the biggest barks I have seen in a long time.

was he barking up the wrong bush, Ron? ^

This was an experiment, using ISO 12800 for the first time... it was almost dark... hand held...

Speed bump dog!

Personally I feel that the road itself is okay but the people that use it to satisfy their death wish need an upgrade to a higher level of intelligence.

This little fella paid us a visit the other day

seems those black scorpions are every where these days! ^^^
