Nong Bua - The sixteenth step ... From Bác Hồ to กรุงเทพมหานคร - CycleBlaze

October 31, 2024

Nong Bua

Today was almost inconsequential.   A more roller coaster like ride than most we have had on this trip.  Mostly back roads, although not all of them were quiet.  Some roadworks to ensure we arrived in a dusty state at our destination for the night.  Lots of friendly greetings from locals we passed along the way.  But there wasn't anything of interest on which to report.

A ridge separates Udon Thani province from Nong Bua Lam Phu province. At the top of the ridge is a small shrine. Of course every vehicle passing the shrine has to hoot. So it wasn't the most peaceful place for us to stop for a drink.

Our digs for the night is a pleasant and value for money hotel on the outskirts of Nong Bua town.  It even has a pool, somewhat cloudy but still worth risking a dip.

Tomorrow we head for the northern edge of the Ubol Ratana Dam.   It is surrounded by two National Parks but it seems neither of them are worth birding.   We'll see when we get there.

Today's ride: 72 km (45 miles)
Total: 1,681 km (1,044 miles)
