[/b] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/JW%20pt1/20110412JW218.jpg[/IMG] We stayed at Tri-Gong Rest House. As always these establishments are family run. [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/JW%20pt1/20110415JW39.jpg[/IMG] [b]We planned for a long stay in Chiangmai to wait out the Songkran. Traffic is dangerous with lots of drinking going on. Water attacks while on our bikes is not the best thing..... I have my own plans for the period. Our Route for today.[/b] [IMG]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k229/nikhuzlan/JW%20pt1/fbIMG_0832a.jpg[/IMG] Here's a short Videoclip of a section from Pai to Chiangmai.
