19th January
Early start, birds chirping, just getting light, cool. Farmers not yet up. Dogs still asleep, stalls being awakened. Rough cloths drawn back. Back road riding, sugar can, black at the bottom, corridors of planting extend to the horizon. It’s quiet. My schedule is relaxed, I have time to smile. Then onto the main highway, eventually stop for a shake but I'm back in Thailand.
Photographs and Artwork of the Kind and Queen of Thailand are Everywhere
But I only saw two signs like this ....
A Elephant Joke

Map of the Day
One of the longer days on the whole trip - 110 miles (176kms). Curious to see what the limit of rider and bike actually is and for how long. Thoughts.
