Really do like this ride. Not too far away and lots of great, empty twisties up among the cool lush, mountain air.

8.40am and a quick McDonald's Breakie and hitting the road for 9am.

By 11am I was hitting the twisties, and by 12.00 I had stopped by some caves, and was at a waterfall right along the Burmese Border.

Watch out for the monkeys.

Some X-Speed stickers underneath the tail section.

Doing an Indiana Jones at some waterfall.

Ratchaburi is simply a lovely province, lots of caves, hot springs, and waterfalls. And of course Gai Yang - grilled chicken.

My favourite sign in the world.

And they're not lying either:

Roads are great, as is the scenery, and not another vehicle in sight.

Lots of Mon-Burmese villages about, with most of the women out weaving big baskets. And a few monkeys in cages.

She knows a good bike when she sees one:

Almost back in Ratchaburi.

Spent about 3 hours just riding around the border twisties, going through villages and mountains, and was back in Bangkok city centre by 5.30pm.

Can't wait til next time.

Wow! Looks like great riding territory. I wish there was something this scenic around me.

Where are ya?

Unfortunately the scenery of Bangkok city centre isn't exactly stunning, takes about an hour to get out to stuff worth seeing.

I live in south Louisiana in the US. It's very, very flat here. I'd have to drive a good 45 minutes just to see anything that might be considered a hill. It's probably almost 3 hours to anything like a mountain. In Louisiana, a mountain is usually just the largest pile of mud.
