R1148 Legends Ride 2021

[DavidFL]

From Proposal for a couple of rides....The Legends 1148 Ride plus a Beer 'n a Baguette in NKP

The On & Off & On Again Phua Langkha Dinner & 1148 Legends Ride actually happened, thanks to the Unsanctioned Riders - Andrea, Paul & Bob - requesting to join in & therefore make it worthwhile organizing & having a go.

A big thanks too & kudos for Matthias who rode up alone from Bangkok to do 1148 with us & then ride back to Bkk.

The Unsanctioned Riders from Chiang Mai rode as a group, whilst the other guys - Matthias, Dave DKT, Heineken, David Unk all set off alone & just hooked up en route, or met at the Phu Langka Balcony for dinner & a long night chat = it was an unbelievable 1am bed time after a magic night sitting on that stunning terrace swapping stories & gossip by a very relaxed happy crew.

Two cases 0f Leo were acquired for the evening's chat & dinner & proudly put on display by reception.

A few riding pics......

The 1148 East of Phu Langkha

The 1148 Twisties - what makes 1148 so awesome

A magnificent roller coaster ride. And IMHO it is best ridden East to West, from Tha Wang Pha to Chiang Kham.
Why? Because the road flows more & is a nicer ride. Disagree if you like, but ride 1148 back to back in a day & I think you will get to appreciate the difference.

And a hot little tip is to check out the 1148 Cafe at Pha Lak. Some great gals & super friendly people.

Some nice coffee & cheese cake.

Also at Tha Wang Pha, for an absolutely oustanding kwiteo with braized chicken lunch

A huge super fantastic meal. Highly recommended. TQ Dave DKT for the tip off. That kwiteo was first class!
I would love to go back to TWP just for that kwiteo! Superb it was.

Sadly the 1148 Cafe @ Pha Lak is closed, but there's a new one, opposite, straight across the street.
The Rim Nam Coffee.

The Rim Nam Coffee @ Pha Lak A relatively new place, directly opposite what used to the 1148 Cafe, which is now closed. The setting beside the stream is sweet, & it is nice to take another break here for a ride on 1148. They also have a few rooms for rent, streamside, starting at...
