I have used Web Bike Japan for my 2T.

In February they had about 5km left with concrete work. A few days ago i rode it again to confirm the completion of the work before i update Openstreetmap. Not a road if you are in a hurry. Not everyone have the time to wait for the for the concrete work to be done. Green an lush...

I bought a Cooling west about 10 years ago. It works better with a Goretex jacket zipped up. A mesh jacket will dry out quickly. No need for cold water, keep a bottle in your pocket on the 'shady' side. :grinning:

About hal About halfway there is a road leading to a cool area with a small water fall and pool. Lots of people this time of the year.

I got two set of Klim. Adventure Rally Air and Carlsbad which is Goretex. Expensive, yes. Worth it. YES.

Last time in LPQ, Chris recommended the Manichan GH. Price around 700 bath in the low season. Very popular, so book early. Good parking and restaurant in the back.

Aliexpress now sell replacement screens way cheaper than eBay. I got two units with black lines running across the screen. I plan to hand it to one of the phone ''magicians' here in Nan. Will update this tread when done. As for missing/broken buttons, some electrical tape will sort that out.

The well known Gin restaurant has moved away from the "Nan Party Street". Not to worry, Nan Cottage has a menu that should cover anyone.

I have not gotten one yet. But most bought the WP6, I think. About 6-8k bath and a huge battery. Alixpress have a better selection than Lazada.

Garmin calls the Oregon and Motana a 'Handheld' unit and has the Nuvo routing. Not as good for navigation as the Sumo. However, numerous maps can be displayed at the same time. The first Montana lasted about 150k km before the display showed lines across the screen. The second had the same...

I rode this last time back in 2016. This time i wanted to se for myself after rumours about 'bad road'. There are no bad roads, just roads or no road at all. I wanted to se if it will be ok on bigger bikes. And yes to that. Mainly because they have made a new road from Pakbeng and up the hills...

It is a nice area.

Thanks for all the good work David, and all the "name less" others.:grinning:
