But first a coffee and food break. A view point along the remote mountain roads. My T7 hit empty with fuel light flashing, and I was…

A truly lovely place to spend a long weekend. You could say. “Sangkhaburi the real Thailand”. One way in and out along highway 323. Off the beaten path, no loop around. There are two sides to the Mon bridge.. Sangkhla and Wangka (Mon Side). Wangka side was founded in 1949 by Luang Phor after he fled Burma in 1949…

The kids stopped walking and gave me a Wai as I rode past…..
