Thailand North Kok River Loop



Great ride out today on the north side of the Kok River, several local riders showing up for a very cool dry day's riding and a good opportunity for me to try out the CRM AR 250 after PGMI repair by Two Stroke Racelab 

As your can see the ride was pretty elevated.


The route


Lovely crisp but dusty start to the day. 



Beautiful wooded section near the Royal Projects

Deserted Christian church looks like it is no longer in use and surprised nobody has tried to dismantle it for it timberwork.



Seen this structure several times before but not sure of its significance.

Down to more level ground and the Kok river comes in view.



Sad to see the burning season is starting early this year.


Some of the kid's at the local village shop.

On the way back home stopped off at the point i came to grief earlier in the year breaking my wrist, still no warning signs apart from a notice about rubbish tipping.
