After about 30 seconds we got tot eh trouble spot. A tree had fallen over the road. So..... In typical Thai style the cars decided to "drive round it". But it cover the full width of the road. Not to be deterred they just went off the
road found a route through the trees on the road side onto a cycling lane and back on the main road pas the tree and sped off. Needless to say we did the same. Photos of this taken while driving do not give the whole or clear picture (pun...) of the story but this should be sufficient for you to get a good idea of a typical road trip in Thailand.....
