A new Bridge is being constructed over the river Songkhram between Ban Om Ko and Ban Na Din Chi. This used to be a rarely used minor track with just a small foot bridge as a crossing. The track is now a wide road & looks like it will be sealed ; why so such money is being spent on this road is a mystery !.

BIG C – Update
The Site has now been cleared & portakabins were being installed. Judging by the size of the plot – it really is going to be a BIG C.
Building work continues as the foundations are laid and the start of the main structure commences.

A new bicycle shop has opened in the former Tattoo shop opposite the former Eddies Bar.

New Route
Found an alternative route to Ban Daeng from Thom Na Phloen. At this time of the year in involved fording a river. At first it was unclear if the track continued on the other side.
There was also this unsual sign which says Prohibited to catch fish for the next 2000m ??.
