Planned this for some time as Boy wanted to see Phitakhon in Dansai this year before he starts his job training. When trying to book a room for us 4 months ago, Dansai was already full as was Phu Ruea so got a cheap room in Nakhonthai some 45 kms away. Started morning in Chiang Dao and arrived early afternoon in Nakhonthai.
Took the usual Chiang Mai-Lampang-Denchai-Uttaradit route and then crosscountry to our first accommodation at the Phet Garden 1 Resort. Traffic was quite dense as a lot of small-bike groups heading the same direction.
As we arrived early, we decided to ride up Phu Hin Rongkla in the afternoon but couldn't continue up to Phu Thap Berk as very dense fog made it impossible to enjoy riding. Additionally i did forget to fill up my tank before....
On the way down we stopped at a waterfall that told us to walk horizontally for 220 meters. Actually the 220m were vertical with a very slippery jungle track and steps as high as 80 cms. The waterfall was beautiful and worth the effort.

Be prepared to have a very tiring walk to Man Daeng Waterfall
We then continued back to Nakhonthai and found it very difficult to find a suitable restaurant but with the help of another small street kitchen owner we found this one:
Than Khun Kitchen Food Garden served delicious food for a low price but have some moscito repellent handy as it is surrounded by wetlands.
It is necessary to note that obviously all 'dek waen' were on their modified and sometimes sinfully loud scooters from all over the country heading all to Dansai. I was really happy to see them all packed up and having the time of their life with a total budget for the whole trip of less of what i spend on a day.......
I am not back home yet but will post more once i am not on my 'big blue'
To be continued..........
