Road Trip to Lampang
Lampang, we discovered, is a bit like Chiang Mai but rubbish. The guide books don't tell you that, so we found out the hard way.
As I was driving an elderly Suzuki SJ413, I'd say we found out the very hard way. The only other thing I've driven with comparable steering response was the R. Tucker Thompson, and that's a 60 tonne tall ship. The titchy windscreen wipers would have made their journey across the flat-glass windscreen faster if they were being towed by trained slugs, the brakes responded by giving your right foot a Thai massage, and the accelerator served only to increase the volume of the cacophony from the engine. In future I will leave "cars" like this to those with strong religious beliefs.
Next stop Hanoi (by plane, fortunately)!
