Unfortunately the place I was staying in Chiang Rai was fully booked for the holidays, so I couldn't stay longer - and had to leave. Something I wasn't looking forward to, as it was raining and I really don't enjoy riding in the rain!
Not having another choice, I packed my things, loaded them on Basanti and took off. What I loved about my first full day of riding in Thailand was the quality of the roads (amazing!!), the great, great food everywhere (both Thai and western) and the little hot surprise I found along the way ...
