Monday 23 of january 2017 - MTBike 76 km - Olympus TG 860

 

Went to Nong Han on rd 22

 

It's a U-turn ; maybe police is waiting for a nice accident to do something against the two thai people who made two wooden restaurant along the non official parking lot , because of those big trucks using it as a parking lot ?

Yesterday, I went to the recycle mill with the plastic bottles I pick every time I'm on the roads with my MTBike ;

plastic bottles, and krapong of bier, coke..

 

Here on my Isuzu pickup what I have collected in three weeks :cheesy: = 944 baht  ;

about 1,000 baht each month = free new parts for the bike :whistling:

Cassava on a huge surface; about one hundred rai ! For those who never passed near crashed cassava, it smells like vinegar

When cassava is young, it's like that in the fields

Another huge surface of sugar cane; here it's about four hundred rai without fence
