All change!

New improved map including easy route from Hatyai!
As a token of our mutual fraternity, HH3 and SH3 have swapped hares this weekend with our Thai brothers setting the run on Saturday in Songkhla and Egghead moving slightly Hatyai-wards to set the HH3 run on Sunday. Sadly Egghead's map making skills are not quite up to the task and Sex Sprinter's this week have been aimed at remedying the shortcomings of the map produced by Egghead a couple of week's back to Sunday's site; but you get the picture: SH3's run is from behind Ban Dan School!
Details are:
Songkhla Hash House Harriers' run #1957, Saturday, January 12, 2019, 4:00 p.m.
Hares Sex Sprinter, Toy Boy and Budgie Smuggler.
Misdirections: From the Kao Seng intersection take the Old Yala road for 8.1k and do a U turn. Come back past Ban Dan School and turn left then follow the road until you see signs of a run site. The turning off the old Yala road is at: 7.106930° 100.632766° and if the run site is at the end of the road near the hill then it will be about a 2.5k drive from there at: 7.105680° 100.611314°.
If you are coming from Hatyai then you need to get to the old Yala road and if you want to avoid the new Yala road onto which you cannot now turn right at the Ko Yo intersection, then the easy way is to head to Tha Kham and go East then after 4.5k turn left on the road to Kao Long for 4.2k (bear right away from Kao Long after 600m then pass through three villages,  two crossroads, and finally pass Wat Kao Lam on the left). At the OYR turn left for about 4k and the turning past Ban Dan school will be on your left. Finally don't forget that Saturday is CHILDRENS' DAY so the roads will be busier than normal so set off in good time. 

Sunday's HH3 run features the same run site and the same hare that brought you the SH3 'Songkhla swap 'em' run two weeks ago although the run itself will be completely different. Sex Printer has provided a beautiful map (below) which helpfully omits all the carefully worked out alternative routes, so if you would like to refer to the original it is here. The signed route will be from the 4.7k turning off the old Hatyai road on the road to Tha Kham: turn left after 4.2k for 1.7k then turn right for 500m to the run site by the lake at 7.053766° N100.583731°E  (or from Tha Kham  go north for 2k then turn right for 1.7k etc.). But there is a section of road on the 1.7k bit where the pot holes are a bit deep so there are alternative routes available if you prefer.
