A 6 Day trip to follow part of the River Ping downstream
Day 6
The trip home was uneventfully as it generally is when I am on my way back. I don’t know what it is but when I am away for a short time or even on my previous longer trips I find that I just want to get home so I can just get sorted out and relax. Whereas on the trip I am quite happy moseying along.
I left after I had finished my breakfast at the place I stayed in last night. It was fine, there were several hot dishes to choose from with boiled rice, bread for toast, water and coffee.
It was still quite busy for early on a Sunday morning and getting out of the city was slower than expected.
The route today was chosen by Apple Maps, so it was pretty straight forward.
Out of the city, on to the 225 which in the early stages too me through a bit of a wet land area.
On the 225, Mueang Nakhon Sawan District, Nakhon Sawan, Thailand
Still on the 225, Chum Saeng District, Nakhon Sawan, Thailand
The 225, Bueng Sam Phan District, Phetchabun, Thailand
Then it was on to the 21 in the direction of Phetchuabun, using the 234 ring road to the west of Phetchuabun, then on to the Lom Sak junction where I slung a right onto one of my favorite stretches on the 12. Once at Khon San it was on to the 2004 and home.
On the 21, Nong Phai, Phetchabun, Thailand
The 234, Mueang Phetchabun District, Phetchabun, Thailand
Back on the 12 and nearly home, Phu Pha Daeng Wildlife Preserve Area, Lom Sak District, Phetchabun, Thailand
The roads today were not that exciting, long stretches of nothing with the odd small hill range thrown in for good measure, but if you blinked you missed them. Until the 12..then it was back to some nice winding roads on the outer edge of the Nam Nao National Park all the way to the Khon San junction.
1626km covered on this trip
