Thailand Kok River Off Road Loop

5.3.15

A ride with San my Thai friend out for a nice looping ride along the Kok river to the Doi Mae Salong check point and loop back towards Khun Korn waterfall and on to Doi Hang to complete the loop while the visibility was still reasonable.

Sorry about the poor pictures my camera is in the doctors so using my trusty old Olympus.

The planned route.



As dry as it get's at the moment



Pretty poor viz, locals making a good luck or spirit house




Found a little water for San to splash around in.



Lot's of burning starting right now.




A little detour around the tourist village for San to cool off.






Trying for a not so perfect shot.


Heading back to the Singha farm



Me composing myself after vaulting over the handlebars.


Cute Lahu kid's


San getting a selfie to prove he was there.


Dry as can be.



Almost dry riverbed full of garbage at the Lahu village


Heading towards Khun Korn




Approaching Doi Hang



Then back into Chiang Rai for a well earned beer, great day.
