It is with heavy heart to leave such a nice place in Maesae bamboo clay hut and a wonderful warmshower host - Jew. She woke up very early to prepare breakfast for me and we took pictures in front of the hall entrance,cos' she wanted a nice picture to frame it up to be hanged on the hall. She insisted to send me off by riding with me, despite her tough ride yesterday, but she finally raised the white flag after about 3-4 km. Time to say goodbye. " have a safe journey!" she said still catching her breathe. Thank you so much for all the hospitality,espectially your home cook meals.I will treasure for a long time! The journey continues with cooling weather in the mountain but were sweating hot when reached Mae Taeng by 12 noon for lunch stop. Now I am back on the main route 107 and is only 35 km to Chiang Dao,my destination overnight stay. The traffic is moderate but love the rolling terrain.Chiang Dao very much like a village town , a single street and rows of old shop houses by the side.A giant stand alone mountain could be seen from far. Settled in Piendoa Guest house for 200 baht,very basic but with wide rooftop where I had my bike totally washed.The only Internet in town,work like snail speed, sorry again my blog follower.
