After a couple days of rain, time to get out and about in the nice weather.
First thing I came across was a huge farming drone. For more efficient spraying over the rice fields..
Then on to Wat Pong Mun, the Hot Spring temple.
What happens when you meditate for too long...
Basic, but hot enough.
This temple is near Kaen Nua on 1174.
Then it was down to the Mae Chok Hot Spring, southwest of Pong, Phrae.
A nice modern Triumph was parked up there. But the hot spring was too busy, so I rolled on to the Nanda Resort at Wang Chin.
Next morning into Thoen to see Darrel & Nicky at the Thoen Happy Home Guest House.
They are doing potted plants in a novel way.
Then on to another hot spring near Kho Kha, Lampang.
Nice...
Then made my way west across to Hot and on west.
Then to the wonderful Mae Um Long Hot Spring.
Unless on a dirt bike you park on the other side of the river.
Then walk across the bridge to the resort.
The room has a great smell of natural teak oils and a hot spring tub in the bathroom.
Early next morning I was in the outdoor hot tub under the stars.
Fantastic.
Then rode up to Mae Hong Son, enjoying the wonderful twisty roads.
In the afternoon, I hit the mud spa....
Then had my first meal for 3 days. Doing a keto diet, you don't feel hunger much and the fasting felt good.
Buffalo cheese and prosciutto at Herbert's restaurant in MHS.
Over west, the air seemed cleaner and it was a beautiful morning on the loop.
Super day, enjoying the twisties on 1095..
On to Chiang Dao.
Stayed at Kurt and Malee's Bungalows and next day was just as clear.
Then up to the 109, always a fun road.
On to Mae Suai to a relaxing finish at Lanna Onsen.
Another brilliant ride in northern Thailand.
