After the Rain, while temperatures are still cool, it's a great time for a motorcycle road trip


Two days of tropical rains have added some water to the pond at Wat That Dum. The pond, which had been bone-dry, generally overflows during the rainy season.
I've traveled these roads many times on a motorcycle, makes for tricky driving.  At times legs outstretched to keep balanced.

Not quite sure how to define "shared with me. Could be the number of visitors to my  blog?




The playlist needs some serious editing

The prices had already been in effect for a while ...


The matter made a reappearance in the headlines, when locals complained that they were losing money. "less paying customers."
Some of these at one time pristine islands and parks have been overrun with tourist, creating a daylong rush hour traffic. Pristine areas are getting trampled and trashed.  It's all a result of mass tourism.   
There's also insufficient infrastructure. Where there's trash, there have to be trash cans.
There are some parks which are not on my wish list. If I'm going to pay a higher price, then I just want to make sure it's worth it.
