"A day in the life of…. Sjaak S”

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'.

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.

Thailand question: Cycling in Thailand?
We have been cycling in Chiang Mai for years with great pleasure. First with the beautiful routes of Etienne Daniels and now independently with the large bikes of Fokke van Egmond.
