4 Nov 2011 Day3 KANCHANABURI--UTHONG--KAMPHANG PHET--PICHIT--NAKHORN THAI
Today is the real test for this trip and Thailand Government had declared a week's holiday for all Bangkok dwellers to leave the submerged city to a safe area. The weather has been just great for riding even though it’s a wee bit hot despite the presence of clouds.

| The over expose SUPERTENERE |
Hard ride today with heavy traffic going out of central Thailand and we were finding a way through it...
 |
| Nice coffee kiosk on route 333 |
 |
| Back to basic ..Map reading |
Gathering news from the local as we ride along..... Which road should be avoided and from the news Nakhorn Sawan, Chai Nat and Bangkok still submerged . We took route 333 from U Thong then route 3013 to LatYao to avoid Nakhorn Sawan then up to Kamphang Phet
 |
| A little stretching that help |
Still a lot of water in the rice paddies. We had our lunch with Hj Ismail , he's an imam in Pitchit State Mosque . We had bypassed the flood and cleared the first hurdle.

| Good food and Good people , Lunch at Pichit |
Nakhon Thai is one of the beautiful highland area in Thailand most of the population are farmers here, we could see flower plantation on the roadside, as we rode through winding and slippery road route 2013, Reached here in the late evening and the whole small town lit up with neon light.
Had some trouble finding a hotel and halal food around this town and managed to get one, but 4km out.. After quick showers were at the festival.
