Hi, yes there are many areas that do get burnt for farming and was what I first thought but I'm not sure sure if it's the same down here so close to Pattaya compared to up north with you. I'll keep an eye on the area to see if a farm and crops pop up lol.
A few DH mountian bikers around here too on the forest trails... Ever heard of Khao Mai Kaew? We ride the same tracks and build some of the jump lines together.
Would love to get a chance to ride up there. Maybe if I ever manage to get my bike that far it will happen lol
