Hi Guys ,

             Monday 7th .  Left Mahasarakham early this morning and now in my hotel I Phitsanluk .A lettle more than  7 hr ride with only 1 fuel stop and 1 Pepsi and smoke break . Boring ride rtill you reach Chum Phae , then the fun begins , I've done the Rt 12 Chumphae lomsak a a few times .It's some of the best riding I've done . The 3 KM down hill with all twistys is amazing just before you reach Lom Sax .
             From Lom Sax to Phitsanubon was my first time , about 135km . I was ok, a few good rides but doesn't compare with the 100km Chum Phae ride IMHO .Phitsanulok is much lager a town then I thought and you can get lost very easy . Tomorrow AM I will head for the tiny village of Chiang Rai.

           Philnz....thanks for the heads uo on Rt 11

           Villagefarang....Chiang Kham is what I was planning on my return anyway . I didn't know
                             Know about Rt.1148 to Nan and I think thats a good idea . Isn't Nan
                             were the Duang beetle festevile is every year ?

.HI GUYS

              it seems were getting off track of my original post . I was just informed that my G/F will joining me in Chiang Rai by bus Friday. I guess that means that I'll be in Chiang Rai area for at least 10 plus days .

               Kandaham , I received your email  and will keep you updated Thanks again . Maybe next weekend we could plan a BBq . I would love to meet you guys in the little village of Chiang Rai .

               I will leave tomorrow (Monday) for a previous comitment in Phitsanulok and then a long ride to Chiang Rai on Tuesday. Not sure where to stay for a week or so but I'm sure it will work out .

Hi Mike.

Welcome to the little town.

Lots of beer stops here but I can't vouch for any of them.  The town is small enough that you'll discover the popular ones within  a few minute's conversation with almost anyone here.

We only have two liars in CR.  They will both weigh in shortly on this thread and give you better directions for the beer spots.  But they will probably be happy to be your guides and hosts on those runs also.

We have some really good eating places here.  Check out the pinned thread section and have a look at the Google map.  Most of the restaurants on that are pretty decent and fairly priced for the goods offered.  Give me a PM when you arrive and I'll be your guide for that run.  I need to get the ol' bike out and take it around town for an hour anyway.  I've been neglecting it.  I promise NOT to take you to Limbo's favorite pizza place.

Lots to see in the area.  You'll enjoy any day rides out of the city that you make.



We have one local celebrity here that you might want to run across.  He is a famous Aussie and is known near and far.  He is currently looking at upgrading his old abacus and Etch-a Sketch for a real computer.  I heard he is shopping for a newer, more comfortable driver's seat before he gets the computer though, because he heard that the new computer has a hard drive.  He told me that he didn't even realize that you could drive them.  He will probably weigh in here also if he has gotten the computer set up already.

Lots of places to stay also and some are nice as well as cheap.  Again, PM me and I'll give you the tour of some of those when you hit the ground here.

Print out the pinned Google map when, or before, you get here and keep it handy.  It will make getting around a little bit easier.  When we know for sure what days you will be here, we can update you on the current events that you may want to attend.

Don't hang around in Chiang Mai too long.  Something in the water there.  You'll see what I mean when you get to talking with some of those guys there.  Most of them really wish they lived in CR anyway.

Stay safe.  Keep us posted on your arrival date.

            Hi guys , Kandahar you may be right , I have no reason to go to Chiang Mai. I'm thinking of changing routes from Phitsanulok by taking rt. 11 to somewhere around Chumphu to Rt.1 and direct to Chiang Rai . What do you think ?
           Philnz , Thanks for the advice . The worse road I've traveled was 60km from Thai Li following the Mekong to Chiang Khon . Huge pot holes when there was tarmack and the rest was dirt.
           Jubby, I am little confused. What does Shotgun Buggy have anything to do with Junior Samples and BR549?

            You Guys are starting to scare me .

Thanks Guys ,

                Kandahar, we must be about the same age or at least from the same country. Anybody that knows what "BR549" is about
   is ok in my book . When you speak about BIG BIKES a phantom s kinda streching it a bit .

               In my original post I live in Mahasarakham and love it here for over 3 years . I spent 1 year in Udon Thani then 2 years in Khon Kaen were I met my now wife from Salakham .I enjoy the country and it's Issan style of slow living. Most people have never heard or have any idea where Salakham is but the truth is that it is the exact center geographicaly of Issan and the hufd of higher learning (university)

I'm guessing , but think the ride from Phitsanulok to Chiang mai will be about 5 to 6 hours . I AM NOT A 130-160 Kmph rider (as if a phantom would even dream of doing ) I enjoy the ride and want to smell the roses . In my younger years I would go from point A to point B as quickly as possile , but after a C1 C2 fracture , fractured skull and a fractrued hip and ribs all in separate accidents I've mellowed out. I will keep you posted on my progress and look forward to be be in the little village of Chiang Rai .

            Mike
