(I loved this road so much the first time I rode it and was frustrated about having no more GoPro battery life to record some of the route. It was a real unexpected delight! Click HERE for the original teaser video I made based on the small amount of footage I took at the time via my dying phone).

10,000 Miles Biker Cafe
Fab cafe stop for food and drinks, on the R1216, just off the 4010. Lots of biker info and stickers etc.
Official Facebook Page for this fab cafe is HERE.
(For whatever reason, I forgot to stop at the cafe this time around and went to a little roadside place. This is the cafe I recommend though.)
A previous photo taken at this cafe in 2017. Trip report for that ride: “5 Days/7 Provinces Ride”

Just East of the 4010 is the route that takes you down to Paknai Fisherman’s Village at Queen Sirikit Dam. Here you can take a ferry across the dam on your vehicle (I believe the cost for a motorcycle is around 150 baht). Here is a video showing the crossing:

Trip reports for crossing the dam and great places to ride to include:
5 Days, 7 Provinces Ride
Laos Solo Adventure
Ride to Phetchabun
Ride to Angkor Wat
