Stopped at Luang Prabang Restaurant located on the 211 Loei province. Speaking with the owner. He informed me of loads of trails behind the village. Also stated it is very beautiful in there and there is a waterfall 1 km in the jungle that only the locals know about. Have 701 – Must go and take a look. Not…
Back on the Saiyok Kanchanaburi Trail. Been wet for the last month and half. Luckily the rained eased up as well as the weather fining up for the ride.. Finally a weekend with sunshine.

Quiet back roads and a rough narrow road to the Border Patrol Police stopping a short distance from the actual border. A nice ride here through the back roads. Super friendly locals. The kids stopped walking and gave me a Wai as I rode past…..
After all the COVID madness. What better time to take a week off and visit a a good friend that is stuck here in Thailand. Unable to get back to KL for work. Not wanting to fly with all the nonsense to deal with being a foreigner. Decided to take the Ranger with 701 in the back. Freedom to…
End of lock down coming. Some provinces closer to Bangkok were open a little earlier. So we took the opportunity for an escape to Kanchanaburi. They were discussing shopping malls opening.. So figured some social distancing in the bush would not hurt. We head out to Saiyok and meet up with the local boys for another ride up to…

Khao Pla Noi – Border Patrol Police Camp 136. One of my favourite trails to ride in Thailand. Must have been up here 20 + times over the years. Often talked about camping up here. Well. As I am turning 50. Why not do it and make a party on top of the mountain as the clock ticks over…
Amazing day riding through here. Having looked on Google Earth with Alex in Luang Prabang. Set out to see if there is a way to get through to the Nam Khan at the end of the trail. On Google Earth the two ends only have a 2 or 3 kilometre missing link to join up. I had failed the…
