Hi everybody ,

 

Wow.. So much rain every nights, every days also ..

But sometimes, not today; it was raining until now 11 am ..

 

So yesterday leaving the house at about 7 a.m raining a little bit ,

 

Rd 22 going to Nong Han - 9 am

 

 

9.50 am , not raining but no sun

 

 

I'm in Nong Mek, about 6 km before Nong Han ;

they resolved the problem about flying wires  ; like they want to do in Bangkok

 

[Assurancetourix]

Cycling just before this big truck ..We are at about 30 km/h

 

 

Mini Bik Chi ( it's what is writting on the publicity )

 

 

Coming back home, as usual, excessive speed AND overload , result =

and maybe or surely too much air in the tyres .

Going to the house of a french friend ...

The first time since I know him there is no road...

 

 

 

Last week he went to Pattaya for some holidays; he was a " chef" in Jomtien during many years .

He said to me ,

Oh! Pattaya and Jomtien are beginning to be a ghost town; so many buildings , shops to sell

and nearly nobody, nearly no clients in some well known cafe like The Bodega ( soi Yamato or Post Office, I don't remember )

 

On rd 227, coming back home
