Chaiyaphum, Thailand

I throughly enjoyed the biking around these parts no traffic, no people, no hassle.


Great riding but not sure I'd want to do it in the wet season...

Hua Hin to Chiang Mai along the Mekong through Issan...

I am still surprised at the loads they are able to carry in Asia. Though I'd seen it all in India, but Thailand and Cambodia never seise to amaze.
Flash floods in Chiang Mai, within minutes the roads are flooded. Making driving a challenge to say the least..
Some of the scenery around Chiang Mai, beautifully forested hills and excellent road for driving,
The perfect beast for traveling long distances throughout asia.

Cha am, Sam Roi Yot and Prachuap Khiri Khan

Found this sign by accident, it wasn't until after I got back I realised what it really said, being a bit dyslexic and that it escaped me at first. 
A long stretch of this road had been battered by winds and stormy seas. As a consequence it was under mined and just collapsed.
This was beautiful and peaceful countryside riding through pineapple plantations which seemed to go on forever. They say that you learn something every day and on this day I'd learned that pineapples didn't grow on trees. 


Prachuap Khiri Khan town. I quite seaside town with very few tourists, well at least not westerners. Considering that this is the capital of the Provence it was unusual quite.
