Wow, 25mm tires on wet red clay, and no fenders. Ouch. My 40mm semi-
slicks were just barely up to the task on this ride, slipping on the
steepest sections if I wasn't pedaling super smoothly.
And yes, the best adventure riding I have done anywhere I've done
here. What a great place to ride a country bike.
Come visit, y'all.

We had rain like that in January, between Chiang Rai Chiang Kong.
The highway dept decided to completely tear up several kilometers of
pavement and re-do everything at once. No paved bypass, just slog
thru the red clay along with everyone else. There I was on a rental
bike with no fenders 25 mm tires. Not the only time on that trip I
sorely missed my Atlantis!
Thailand is one of the most civilized adventure touring locations
anywhere. I can't read many of the signs but I can spot a blue
Nestle's cooler at 100 meters. Easy to get lost but also easy to
figure out where to go. Lots of friendly people, good food,
affordable lodgings.

Hi,
just thought I'd share this photo I took on my buddy Paul's camera of
Paul and Kip's Rivendells (Sam and Bomba) in some seriously wet
conditions here in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Paul was sorry he removed his
fenders a few days prior. Probably his fault the rains came early this
year...
