Chiang Rai and cycling…..(10)
It's been a while since I wrote episode 9 of my 'bicycle serial' set in and around Chiang Rai. In May 2021, when he was still 75 years 'young'. Now 78, but still enjoying cycling through the city and - especially - the country. So a tenth episode to round off the series with a nice round number. Just like in the previous episodes, I add some photos taken during my rides to share the beauty of the area with the readers and, where appropriate, I also cycle through some other experiences and adventures.

Now visit the mangrove coastline of Bangkok/Samut prakhan
Large "nature park" with a new concrete cycle/pedestrian path (roughly estimated: approx. 8 km long, so bring a bottle of water!) to the coastline (until the sea), right through the mangrove crop and past numerous fish ponds. Really very nice and nice, and now still quiet.

Chiang Rai and cycling.…(7)
Two weeks ago, in Episode 6 of my cycling serial, I mentioned Mae Sai and Chiang Saen as destinations on the outer edge of my range. I also wrote that, given the distance, I wanted to get there before the heat and annual air pollution descended on this beautiful province again.
Chiang Rai and cycling..…..(6)
I'm hungry! When I dared to say that as a child born shortly after the Second World War, my parents usually responded: 'you are not hungry! We were hungry in the war, you're hungry at the most!'
