Rd 2280 to Charoen Sin and a little bit more km, U-turn and coming back home

 

 

For those who don't know very much Thailand.... Every end of each month, everywhere in Thailand, " police-tolls "

 

 

As usual, many beautiful trucks..( it was my job during 14 y , all Europe, W & E)

 

[Assurancetourix]

 

Thai farmers burn their fields, not only in Chiang Mai province ; don't know why; it's a bad habit

 

 

Sometimes, too much often, " fai dap " in Thailand; u can see why, now ..

 

[Assurancetourix]

At the end of Charoen Sin, coming back Sawang Daen Din, just before the police box; a rd on the left side , rd 2066

 

 

Along this rd, a very beautiful Wat

 

[Assurancetourix]

That's the rd 2066...burnt fields on the two sides

 

 

And new friends ..

 

 

[Assurancetourix]

Two days ago, went on rd 22 in the direction of Udon for meeting a french friend who was cycling to my house;

I did 106 km with my MTBike; much, so much wind in our face coming back home..

 Only one photo..a truck, as usual ; a nice Scania - I had a Scania 110 Super in 1978 ..a long time ago !

 

[Assurancetourix]

Yesterday, wanted to discover a new road..

Rd 3059 ; from Tha Sila to main rd 227

it's a bad and sometimes very bad rd;

bad for vehicles but so beautiful for countryside...

 

on the photo below, it's like a motorway; after it's bad and worse..

 

 

A Wat door..People are poor here

 

 

Entrance of a village; we are in Udon Thani province , it's written on the rd sign

 

[Assurancetourix]

Narrow and white little stones; bad, very bad with my MTBike ; did 79 kilometers..

 

[Assurancetourix]

And today is another day... 60 km - Olympus TG 860

 

Went to Nong Mek on rd 22 and coming back home on the same road

 

A spirit house alone ; was not there two days ago

 

 

A beautiful VOLVO FH

 

 

About the truck above; it's a new one , new and expensive;

I cannot understand why bosses of coaches cannot buy new coaches like truck  bosses..

 

Four ISUZU trucks on a U-Turn parking lot
