Chang Mai heading south

Day 26 from Chang Mai south- 133km

Nice clean bikes…found a hose!

Set off bright and early with a big day in mind. Lovely quiet back roads out of the old city but Komoot in its wisdom took us on a nightmare path once we got to the highway- somehow it didn’t factor in the endless concrete guardrail and we added an extra couple of kms before we figured out how to get going in the right direction! All sorted and we followed the river south for what seemed like forever.

A hot day today- no rain and no clouds, and we saw the sun for the first time in quite a few days! Endless but minor ascent for the second half of the day, and we were happy to arrive in the township of “Li” for the night.

Nailed it with our accommodation tonight- cheap ($20au), quiet, lovely grounds and brekky included. But by far the best bit was the Thai grill restaurant round the corner…couldn’t wipe the smile of Neil’s face as he happily cooked up a storm 😁

Google translate comes in very handy but there was still a lot of guesswork. A fantastic and authentic meal after a pretty long day.
