Phichai - Uttaradit

 

Enroute to Udon Thani

 

 

One thing I'll say is all the main roads we travelled where excellent...

 

Country road isaan

 

 

Dishwasher at side of the road (at the duck farm) 

 

Farang ... Farang... I guess the country kids don't see too many of us... Around Phen, Udon Thani.

 

A small village, somewhere in Isaan! Sun was setting... with stormy clouds.

Yet we teach our Children not to play on the road,!!!, They Dont, ....

 

As you say, I do the same..

But " they don't ", I have a great doubt

I'm, we aren't playing on the road but cycling with helmets , clown shirts and working lights ; yellow or white in front and red on the back

We were eleven people with three security pickups with red lights  and often we have a police car with us, not yesterday but one of the driver was a policeman.

 

I do each month between 1,000 and 1,700 kilometers ( sometimes more when going to the provinces of north Thailand or going to Laos ,on my MTBike since nearly ten years I'm living in Isan

I always wear a helmet, even when going to the nearest village which is at 2,5 km from mine  and I always respect the lights and never ride on the wrong side of the road..

Maybe it's because at more than 67 y old I'm still alive

Unfortunately, we are blessed with Lycra Cycle Yobs in our area,a good lecture from You would help. They give normal folks such as You a bad name.I have dash cams of them showing total disregards to other road users,as seen on You Tube.

The banana lady

 

this monstrocity known as the sanctuary of truth in pattaya.

 

500 bht entrance fee. Saved me some bht by taking a motorcycle taxi very easy to pass traffic from beach rd to that temple.

BKK 

 

Clean street...  BKK

 

They fixed the sign then! ASTX ^

 

The street in front of my house will soon be hidden with my flowers and bushes and long beans on the string fence! ! 

About 3 months old, I keep picking away as my bad back and legs allows! 

 

End of the road! Somewhere in BKK.. or maybe it's a fly over!

Hi Jimmy,

Not the same road; Bo pen yang daw..we are in Thailand

 

A photo from yesterday ; I shall shoot at the same place in a few months..you will see the difference

 

I was impressed how tidy  and well kept in most of the streets were in the small villages of places we traveled in Isaan! 

 

 

Lemon grass lined !
