Thank you, Mother Nature, for a wonderful day.

High temperature today was 26 degrees. That's not bad at all. Thank you, Mother Nature, for this precious gift. I've been meaning to get down to กระโทก / Krathok (โชคชัย / Chokchai), and today it happened.

124 kilometer loop today. My longest ever here.

Thank you, Yamaha Motor Company.
The Exciter 155 is a mighty little beast.
No regrets on my purchase decision.

Negative Covid test to start the day.
If I have Covid, I have Covid.
But there's no reason to give it to someone who could die from it.
