I have been asked just how 'rural' are you? The nearest village is about 1 km away. It's very small, and only has one road that goes through it. There are 2 mom/pop shops in town, operated from their home. You can get the basics - water, ice, eggs, meat, and such - but if you want more then you go 30 km to the bigger town.
That depends. Lol
That is the main road we use for the car. It's only wide enough for one vehicle, which usually isn't a problem since none of our neighbors own one. However, don't be in a hurry as the road, basically, sucks! Lol
This is the shortest way into town. It is nothing more than a well traveled path on top of the dykes for the rice paddy's. Suitable only for motorbikes, walking, and water buffaloes - which you often encounter along the way.
During the rainy season neither way is good. Yes, you can get a motorbike down them, but you better be a damn good rider (which most Thai's are)! We park the car in town and walk down the trail to the farm. Makes shopping a challenge, getting everything home. But that's what this is for . . .
Every family around here has one. You use it move whatever from point A to B.
We use it to gather produce, haul feed, various supplies, the uses are unlimited. You will see people pulling them behind a motorbike going into the city.
I'll let you decide. Pop in a comment (which I will upvote) below and let me know your thoughts. Thanks for reading!
