While doing some focused training in Thailand, I came upon a beautiful, winding road comprised of gentle rollers meandering through groves, orchards, and jungles. I brought along a camera on today's run and thought I would share some photos:
The run starts out level before moving into the jungle-clad hills
Pam trees and power lines serve as an apt metaphor for Thailand's juxtaposition of rampant development and natural beauty
One of the many orchard-lined sections during the run.
Little buckets for collecting tapped rubber hang from the trees (not visible in this photo)
Some lilies in blossom with purple flowers complement two buildings associated with one of the larger estates
I saw four cars on the 12km/7.4mi run. Must've been rush hour on the very low-traffic road.
The orchards give way to dense jungle as the road climbs gently into the hills
The view to my left
The view to my right
When I first ran this road and saw the concrete give way to dirt, you should've seen the smile on my face
With the more remote dirt road comes some excellent views
Dirt roads lead to some of the best places
The jungle asserts itself
A beautiful outlook just before the turn-around point
Perspective shot
The road offers up a return to asphalt and I very begrudgingly accept
