DRIVING ON DIRT ROADS
Dirt Roads go all over the mountains, but even Thaiscan get lost in the maze of crossroads. The tracks aresteep and narrow and very tricky in the rainy season. Ifyou plan an overnight trip on a dirt road trip take thefollowing: torch, candles and matches, warm clothes(especially in winter), water, dry food, insect repellent,and a full tank of gas. Drive very slowly to preventmechanical problems from stranding you.
