This review switches to two-wheel travel mode again. The second review of the CRF250Rally is still not tired of it since it came out. It will be used for both near and far distances. 555 Many trips have been made, but I will only tell you about some of them. I can't review all of them. This trip came about because I wanted to go to Doi Soi Malai, which is said to be very beautiful and popular with two-wheelers. Since I had a car and free time, I decided to go during the rainy season. Let's go! This trip cost 1,300 baht per person, except for my car, which I shared with two other people.

This trip program departs on May 27-28, 2017.

The first day, we left on Friday evening and slept in Tak city. In the morning, we rode our motorcycles through the rain and fog, up to Doi Soi Malai. The fog and rain made it slippery and fun. We came down in the evening and went up to Doi Paper at 2pm, but we couldn't make it, so we went back down to find a place to sleep in Tha Song Yang.

On the second morning, I rode my motorbike to watch the mist at Mon Khru Ba Sai, stopped by Mae Usu Cave, and then rode along the road, taking pictures of the evacuation center, a chic coffee shop, and the Rim Mae Market. I continued to Baan Din Yai Noodle Shop and stopped by the Pha Wo Shrine. I rested at Taksin National Park, visited the temple with a high-altitude view and the Wang Chao Bridge. I rode through the rain from Kamphaeng Phet to Bangkok.

This trip marks the debut of my new camera, as my old one broke down. I remain a loyal Nikon D7200 kit 18-140 user, but I managed to snag a new lens at a discount during the purchase. I couldn't resist getting the Fix 50 1.8G, which I bought just 3 days before the trip. Let's see how it performs! I also brought my Gopro hero 4 silver along. You can check out the Gopro clips beforehand. Don't forget to follow Leam Pawa Tiew as well!

The journey began on Friday night as usual. There were four motorcycles in total: two Lalis, one Wave, and one Smash. The Smash rider followed the other three. We left Bangkok around 8 pm and stopped in Nakhon Sawan around 10 pm. We continued to Tak City and arrived around 2 am. We set up our tents near a pavilion in the city center, close to the Tak City suspension bridge. There were many pavilions, and with so many people around, we felt safe. Around 5 am, vendors started setting up their stalls.

After a three-hour nap, we were refreshed and ready to continue our journey. Smash arrived at 5 am while we were sleeping, and it seemed like he hadn't slept at all. We then packed up our tent and brushed our teeth at the gas station, but no one took a shower.

Leaving the gas station, we headed towards our first destination of the day, Doi Soi Malai. We passed a beautiful bridge over a river and decided to stop for a photo.

The faces of the participants in this trip

The first car, a modified Honda Accord from Don Khlang, came from Ratchaburi.

The young man from Pathum Thani or Rangsit, right? 555 Just met both cars on the first trip.

The sentence is already in English. Is there anything else I can help you with?

The Mahachai Eye. I've seen this eye often, from cars to motorcycles.

This is me, Boy Don Muang.

And this person keeps skidding around every corner. My back hurts so much. I can't see a corner without skidding. If I drive a little faster, I skid. 555 Straw girl Ladprao.

We'll continue on, the garland is not far away.

Shortly after passing the intersection, we stopped for breakfast at Krua Lung Cha Pa Nong Restaurant, enjoying the view of the rice fields.

The best view, however, is from the bathroom. The morning mist adds to the pleasure of relieving oneself.

Leaving the shop, we continued on our journey. The roads were beautiful, and the atmosphere was refreshing. It had rained the previous night when we arrived in Tak, and the fog covered everything this morning.

The new camera is still unfamiliar, so there may be some blur.

We rode along and came across a waterfall by the side of the road, so we stopped to rest.

Dense fog has descended near the entrance to Don Soi Malai, significantly reducing visibility to less than 50 meters.

And then we arrived at the entrance of Doi Soi Malai, a popular tourist destination.

It is almost 10 am, and the fog is still thick and cold. We left all our belongings below and went up empty-handed because it rained last night, and the path must be challenging. 555

After unloading your belongings, prepare your lunch supplies. There is a convenience store conveniently located opposite the entrance where you can purchase your desired items before heading up.

Ready, set, go! Wave and Smash will lead the way, followed by Lally's two vehicles. The terrain is initially dirt, which is quite slippery.

After driving for a while, we reached a steep and slippery hill. The Wave and Smash did not have enough power to climb it, so we had to get off and push.

The rally seemed easy, but it wasn't. The path was full of potholes, making it impossible to climb. I died halfway through the race. 555

The motorcycle had not yet reached the top of the slope when it lost control again. Despite driving straight, the slippery mud caused the tires to lose traction, resulting in a fall. The wheels were covered in mud.

The whole team is struggling. Oh, you're new, aren't you? Laelie's itch is really bad. We need several people to help. Haha.

After this hill, the path becomes less steep and you can continue without stopping too often. However, be aware of the abundance of leeches, which are extremely irritating.

And then the unexpected happened.

In the middle of the forest, the tire was removed.

Before climbing to collect the garland, I asked Technician X if he would not take any tools with him. What if the tire gets punctured? The technician said that my car has never had a flat tire.

After riding for only 2 kilometers, the tire got a puncture. However, being a resourceful mechanic, I had a tire lever and a foot pump ready. I proceeded to change the tire in the middle of the forest, regardless of the leeches that might be lurking around. The situation took an unexpected turn when, after removing the tire, I realized that the spare inner tube was inside the toolbox at the bottom of the motorcycle. With no other option, I had to put the punctured tire back on and continue riding slowly with a flat tire.

We all fell forward before we could ride any further. Oh, we slipped and fell again! The fog was so thick along the way that we couldn't see anything.

The sky occasionally cleared, revealing glimpses of the view, while strong winds swept the mist back and forth.

and another steep hill

We've arrived at the hut, which means we're almost there. Let's wait for Smash to catch up.

After waiting for over half an hour, we still hadn't seen the Smash. We figured the technician must have gone down to wait or change the tire and come back up. We decided to continue our journey and if we saw the Smash on our way back, we would ride it again.

The path from here is not difficult, with only a steep slope down from the hut.

Encountered a fallen tree on the way.

On the way back, we worked together to cut and lift the branches to allow the car to pass.

We finally arrived, but the weather wasn't cooperating. The fog remained thick, with occasional glimpses of the view through breaks in the clouds.

We stopped at the rock formation that people often visit, as seen in the picture.

While waiting for the respawn, we ate instant noodles together. After a while, we suspected that the respawn would not appear, so we prepared to leave.

If the sky clears, it must be very beautiful.

The rain returned with renewed intensity, cutting short the brief respite.

After a while, the rain stopped, so we rode down.

After riding down for a while, we encountered a rider who had fallen with full commitment. It turned out that he had ridden down to change a flat tire and then pushed himself back up alone. We wasted no time and continued our support for the fallen rider, pushing him back up the hill to the point where we had been before.

And then all four cars arrived, fulfilling my wish.

And then, what we had been waiting for finally happened.

After we climbed back up and turned our heads down, the sky cleared of fog, revealing a breathtaking view.

If Smash doesn't come back, we probably won't see it again. Every bad luck often has good luck hidden in it. Thank you, Smash, for the flat tire. 555

Though the sky may not be vast and open, it can still make the heart swell with joy.

Taking photos like crazy, not sure if the fog will come again. 555

Returning to the starting point would only waste more time. It's already past 2 pm.

Note: The original text is empty, so the translation is also empty.

Unfortunately, the wave did not come back up. I will drive and wait below.

After taking photos to their heart's content,

It's time to say goodbye and wave farewell.

I will return when the sky is clearer.

The sentence is already in English. Is there anything else I can help you with?

The descent seemed uneventful, but my heart skipped a beat when I encountered Smatch. My girlfriend, Fang, said she was too lazy to ride solo and would walk instead because the path was steep. I agreed, but we ended up taking a long time taking pictures. When we reached the bottom, Por was waiting, saying he didn't know where Fang had gone. I rode back with him, but when we reached the Sa-Thorn hut, we still hadn't found her. My heart sank. I couldn't wait any longer and rode down alone, fearing for her safety. I descended quickly, but on the steep slope before the hut, I lost control and tumbled down the hill. My bike flipped, the wheels flew off, and the front visor popped off (thankfully, it didn't break). I tried to lift the bike, but it was too heavy. I thought I'd have to wait for my friends, but I was too worried. I couldn't stand it. I lifted it bit by bit, left and right, until it was upright again, and I got back on. Then the cycle repeated. In my haste, I accidentally twisted the throttle too hard, and the bike surged forward on the steep downhill. I couldn't brake, and I skidded and fell, left and right, almost 10 times. But I had an incredible amount of energy at that moment. Adrenaline must have been pumping through my veins. I lifted the bike every time I fell, no matter how I landed. Usually, I'd be exhausted after lifting it 3 times, but this time, I could lift it endlessly.

She finally came down and saw her standing there smiling. Oh, what a relief! It turned out that she had been walking and met two motorcycles with officers and villagers, one of which had a woman on it. One of the motorcycles was empty, so they invited her to wait down below. She just got on without hesitation, saying that she thought Pao would know because the motorcycle had passed Pao. But Pao said that she had been napping and didn't see it. She even said that she had come down a shortcut, riding the wave smoothly, haha, but with a chain on the wheel.

The car's condition is as you can see. The turn signal is broken, the card leaves are cracked on both sides, there are scratches on both the left and right sides, and the frame is cracked. On the one hand, I'm furious, but on the other hand, I'm just glad he's safe.

This experience has shown me the true value of safety equipment. Despite multiple falls, including tumbles and somersaults, I felt no pain thanks to the hand, knee, and elbow guards. The hand guards were particularly effective, and without them, I would likely have sustained injuries.

Let's pack up and hit the road again. We have a long way to go.

It was almost 4 pm, which was a significant deviation from the original plan. The next intended destination was Khun Huai Pong.

The beautiful scenery along the way made us stop and admire it.

A quick stop at Khun Phawo National Park for a few photos before sunset.

After a meal and resupply stop in Mae Ramat around 6:30 PM, we set off again, aiming for Doi Papper. However, due to the late hour and the extremely steep terrain, we decided to only attempt reaching Papper. The ascent to Doi Papper was incredibly challenging, with steep slopes and poor visibility at night. We continued riding, unsure of when the incline would end. Around 10:30 PM, my partner and I reached a resting point after a long, steep climb of almost a kilometer. We waited for nearly 10 minutes, but the Wave and Smash motorcycles hadn't arrived. Realizing the remaining distance and the difficulty of the terrain, we decided to turn back. We encountered the Wave and Smash riders pushing their bikes uphill, exhausted. Everyone, including myself, was drained.

We decided to find a place to stay instead of camping since it was getting late. We found a resort along the way for 500 baht per room, so we decided to stay there. We had been riding since 6 am and it was already past 9 pm, so we were willing to pay. We rented two rooms: one for me and my girlfriend, and the other for the three guys. We were all exhausted and slept soundly that night.

On Sunday morning, I decided to ride my motorcycle to Mon Khru Ba Sai to watch the mist. It was about 50 kilometers away, but no one else wanted to join me. So I set off alone at 6 am and arrived at Mon Khru Ba Sai a little after 7 am.

There is some fog, but it is far away. Zooming in.

The fog wasn't too thick, but it was still beautiful and charming, a fitting reward for the morning journey.

I only stayed at Mon Khru Ba Sai and didn't continue because I had a team meeting at 9 am. I will be on my way back soon.

I rode back, enjoying the natural scenery on both sides of the road.

"The beautiful roads along the Mae Mey River would be a perfect place to pitch a tent for a night."

Departing from Mae Mai, they fired back and stopped by Tham Mae Usu.

However, I didn't dare to go in because it was still early and there was no one around. The staff were not there, so I couldn't go in. Besides, the sun hadn't come up yet, so there wouldn't be any light coming through the window.

The herd of buffalo continued their daily lives as usual.

To find contentment in what one possesses, whether as a human or a buffalo, brings true happiness.

After a simple breakfast of instant noodles and canned fish at the accommodation, we prepared to continue our journey.

On the way back today, there wasn't much to do, so I stopped by the side of the road and took pictures of anything beautiful I saw.

The first location is the Mae La Refugee Center.

The provided text is empty. Please provide the text you want me to translate.

This is a simple and short sentence.

Next stop, a coffee shop called Wisdom Field.

This place has many beautiful photo spots.

It is unclear what this building was previously used for, or if it was always designed in this manner.

Let's continue to the westernmost point at Mae Sai to check in.

Whenever I visit Mae Sot, I always make it a point to visit this restaurant. The last time I was here, I had the Puttu, which was so good that I had to order it again this time.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious dishes, including a cheese option. However, the cheese was unavailable when I visited in the late afternoon.

Leaving Mae Sot, don't forget to stop by the shrine to pay respects to the Phra Wo Shrine.

If you don't need to use the restroom, you can stop by to take photos.

There is a coffee shop with a scenic view.

However, if you need to relieve yourself, stop by King Taksin Maharaj Park. The restrooms are clean and have bidet sprayers, ensuring a comfortable experience. The park also boasts a pleasant atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for an overnight stay.

They left quickly, but in reality it was not feasible. Each stop took a considerable amount of time, and by the time they reached Taksin Park, it was already past 4:00 PM.

Bidding farewell to fellow travelers at Taksin Park, Wave and Smash decided to extend their stay near Kamphaeng Phet for another night. Our paths diverged, and I headed back to face the drudgery of Monday morning.

The road is undergoing expansion.

Departing from Tak, we cycled along the old Wang Chao route, a two-lane road.

Another stop at a temple with a high angle, this time at Wat Khao La Nam.

The ascent is not very steep, but it offers stunning panoramic views.

This place seems to be relatively unknown, and I haven't encountered any tourists or even monks.

Finally, as promised, we explored the area without tiring ourselves, as the car took us everywhere. We concluded our journey at the Wang Chao Bridge.

This is a simple and short sentence.

The rain seemed to be coming, but we weren't deterred and continued to take photos for a long time.

They also rode around in circles.

Departed from the palace around 6 am.

After leaving the Saphan Wangchao Bridge and heading towards the main road, we encountered a heavy downpour. Undeterred, we donned our raincoats and continued, hoping that the rain would stop soon. However, our hopes were dashed as the rain persisted from Saphan Wangchao all the way to Suphan Buri, falling relentlessly. Fortunately, the rain was not too heavy, and the wind was not strong, allowing us to maintain a steady speed of 100 km/h. Despite the soaking and the slippery road, we persevered. On the return journey, our backsides began to feel numb from the long ride.

The journey finally ended in Bang Len, Suphan Buri, almost at 11 pm. We stopped for a bowl of wonton noodles to warm ourselves up before heading home. We arrived home safely at midnight, covering a total distance of 1,435 kilometers.

Total expenses split in half with my partner.

The cost of fuel is 1360 baht.

Accommodation fee 500

The remaining amount for food is approximately 600 baht.

The total cost, divided equally among the participants, comes to approximately 1300 baht for a two-day and two-night trip, which is an incredible value.

For this trip, the owner still performs well, the power is still strong, and is ready to go all the way, but the question is whether the rider is ready or not. 555. This trip was not driven fast because the Wave went along with it, maintaining a speed of 100 km/h all the way. On the way back, it rained again, so the speed was only 100 km/h both ways. The fuel consumption was high on this trip, almost 1 baht per kilometer. But it's still okay. I would still recommend this bike to anyone who is interested. You won't be disappointed. It's good for both blacktop and dirt roads. You will fall in love with the CRF250Rally.

See you again with the touring couple. Next trip, will it be 2 wheels, 4 wheels, or 10 wheels? We'll see. Hehe. Hello.
