What a day!

We left Chumpon about 6.30am and got back onto the highway and spent the rest of the day riding – for 186km!

MotionX GPS app on my iPhone says e were riding for over 9 hours straight, averaging 21 km/h.
Highways are definitely easier riding than the ‘shortcuts’.

I am very surprised. I guess the 300baht massage yesterday and a reasonably long sleep really paid off!

Not much to really say about yesterday except that we aimed to get to a town called Chaya and spend the night there, but we just kept of riding.
We figured we’d find a place to crash for the night in a town called Ta Chang, unfortunately there was no where to stay when we got there!
So 25km or so into the night we made it to Phun Pin – a town close to Surathani town.

Nicholas just reminded me to put down that we saw a lot of dead dogs and snakes along the side of the road.
Staying at the only hotel in town: Queen Hotel just near the train station – not bad, room with 2 large single beds and a fan/shower/toilet – 260baht




Total km: 186km
