Ah
the simple pleasures of low season (the summer
months). The weather is wetter but in many
ways more comfortable. Riding through water
puddles will bring back memories of your childhood...
it does ours.

Phang
Nga Province offers unlimited dirt track and
secondary roads. It's fun just taking off
of a secondary road to see what you might
find. This track ended at a little village
where the locals were playing Takraw,
a hacky-sack type game played over
a low volleyball net.

A
loop we fondly call the Fruit Loop
because of the many fruit orchards, is a road
that parallels a creek. The water is the perfect
temperature for cooling off.
|
Here's
yet another delightful place to cool off.
You reach this creek after a full hour of
very nice dirt roads and single tracks. After
this, you've got a great sweeping downhill
ride on a secondary road. You'll get a nice
view of Phang Nga Bay from the summit of this
trail.

This is on a beautiful secondary road that
courses its way through many small villages.
A lot of the road is in the shade too.
