330km north to HOT - 10th Feb

...have a break before unpacking into room...

.. get to park bikes beside the room is the best thing we could ask for... as we wanna check our machines tonit.. preparing for the 1864 corners.. (like real.. haha)

... entrance to the resort..

Arrived at the town HOT.. in search for accommodation with the help of GPS, the screen shows only 2 names within a 4km radius.. HOT Resort sounds better and here we are... bout 50 meters down the road in the valley towards the bank of the river stands HOT Resort...

Heading to HOT now.... 50km to go is a breeze, as it is only bout 3+pm.. i'm glad Arie also avoid ridding after sunset..

.. hmm not a single soul here, besides this few hungry ghost.. well, it's becoz it is way pass lunch time..

.. the rstaurent on the raft..

... after about 50mts of un-tared open space, we arrived at the lake Doi..

.. continued journey towards Hot.. about 50 clicks to go, Arie decided to detour about 5 km off to Doa Tao... where he promise us good food..

yeah.. he is just too happy I took a snap with him..

.. OR are you just checking on him...???

My guru Arie asking for direction.. having two GPS with us, are you sure you need to ask for direction..?

Rd side coffee place at Thoen beside the gas station.. WOW..! air-con and free wi-fi.. hmm.. Thailand is actually very connected..

100km of boring straight trunk roads.. ( and hot like shit..) we arrived at the town Thoen.. this is the turn off (east) to the winding roads to HOT, which is part of the Mae Hong Son loop of 1864 corners..
