The route 1091, 1251, 1021, Hwy 1, 120, 118
Total distance 323 km
A pleasant ride back to Chiang Mai, starting out along the 1091
This road never fails to excite
Its getting a bit hazy now but it is nearly april
I take a left onto the 1251
Plenty of greenery along here
Some fine curves too
Some colour along the 120
As I am approaching Mae Khachan I see the temple on the hill, now to find it
It doesnt look very impressive up close right now but I bet when its finished it will, its located at N19.12.423 E099.29.462
Lots of bricks here, perhaps I can get a job
A future brickie perhaps
This website has some more pictures, plus probably more info if you can read Thai
Inside the temple
The craftsmen at work
The views from up here are good, I never knew of this reservoir and it will be visited on a future visit
This is on the way down going back towards the 118, from here its a pleasant ride along the 118 back to Chiang Mai
How could I ignore this at N18.47.039 E098.59.502
There was a 16 kg leg of pork cooking in here when I rode past earlier today
It was delicious and as its all you can eat you never go home hungry
