villagefarang ,Road 1149?

Road 1149 ; If one day you want to go there, never forget your passport; there are two army check point and they ask about it .

I was on the 1149 part of the way and did not get stopped there or anywhere else all day. It varies greatly from day to day.

Lucky man; I went there three or four time and was always stopped by the barrieres of army posts .
Coming from Mae_Sai, the second army post is at about one kilometer from the entrance or the arboretum of Doi Tung Palace .
Here whre there is a " view Point " ; the barriere in wood is the border




You are a cyclist as I am;
do you think you can climb this difficult route with your new road bike ?
Some places are very difficult ; it's my opinion ;
And the same about road 1249 from Mae_Sun to Doi Angkhang ; do you think you or me can climb this route which is often with % more than 20% ;
Mae_Sun is between Chai_Prakan and Fang on road 107 ;
I did this route last year with my MTBike but from Doi Angkhang to Fang ; when I saw the percentage, I was afraid !

No way I could climb those roads on my bike but here's a shot like yours but from a different angle.

Koh Luang, Mae Ping National Park. The drought has really affected this local beauty spot.

I've gone through this thread and removed missing images....

Rubber trees, Samui

Mountain Area near Chiang Mai

Akha Village Home

Both beautiful, sharp, colourful images... a fine camera I'm sure. But I would not call that an Akha home, or even house. A home is lived in but this looks like a tourist set-up and is not in the traditional Akha style. A nice bamboo and thatch house though. where is it?

I notice that all uploaded images get reduced in size so they don't even fill the page, but some posters images are bigger??? .......clicking on a photo gives the option to download but even that isn't the uploaded size?

Yes it seems to be a problem for a few of us, (image smaller than upload size of 1024 x ) seems to sometimes show up at 800x ...

I have asked TVF tech guys trying to see what's causing it... hoping we might get some idea as to what is causing it to happen, soon.

Just to update: Big bosses and tech guys going to look at what might be causing this problem... tomorrow. (Monday)

I hope we get an answer and they can resolve the problem!

What a muddle

Don't forget your boots!

[Assurancetourix]

It's often better without boots, water is cool and little fish and crabs ..

The ground is sand and clay .
