A 6am start to catch the sunrise and Thailand's.Rainy Season low clouds. Stopped briefly at the ๐๐๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ค๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ
... and noticed the Mexican Sunflowers are beginning to bloom, which suggests the famous Bua Tong Fields at KhunYuam will likely be in bloom early this year. (more info on those fields on my website: motogirlthailand.com).
I tode through a misty ๐๐๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ and initially stopped to watch the barefoot monks go by.
Next I rode on to the lesser-known Doi Nok Pagoda, where I was rewarded with a sea of clouds.
At the temple I met some ladies and the monks enjoying the view.
..and they wanted a photo with me. :D
Next I rode through ๐๐๐ฆ๐จ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ข but reached a Covid19 restricted access sign to the villages, so turned around.
Rode on to The Doi Resort where I stopped to eat. Then headed next to an ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ I once checked out 10 years ago, to see what the current condition was (๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก: ๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐๐๐๐ค๐).
Took the quiet back routes
home.
Was a wonderful Rainy Season morning ride ๐
