The route 1090, 1167, 1288 Total distance 204 km 7.15am this morning and its a foggy and cold start to the day here in Umphang, I couldnt help but smile at the Thai tourists from Bangkok dressed right up but still shivering. Umphang has to be about the most peaceful village in Thailand, I got [...]
