The temperature is now rapidly rising up towards the 30 degrees or more that would be expected for Thailand in March. Still managed a nice 130 km day on the fine roads here. I have tried to find smaller roads to ride on, but every time I seem to end up on a highway anyway. Now I might as well stick to it until I reach Bangkok.
The gas stations are an excellent opportunity to find some shade and grab a bite to eat.
Eating with sticks can be a bit tricky.
“Do you want the room for one night or one month” the woman at the guest house asked me as I was looking for a place to sleep. It seems that long term stays are popular in Thailand. After considering for a moment I chose just a night. The room had both air condition and WiFi connection. Not bad for 350 bhat.
What a fantastic video. I love it, love it, love it.
I never understood how is possible to eat soup with chopsticks???
Haha yes, I like that video as well. By the way, you get both the chopsticks and a spoon to eat your soup 🙂
Hi Thomas,
How was that route between Phitsanaluk and Nakhon Sawan.
(I’m contemplating doing it in a few days time in the opposite direction coming our from BKK).
Up till Nakhon Sawan I can see options to avoid main roads, but Nakhon Sawan to Phitsaulok the highway looks like the only option. Any alternative would add a massive amount of distance.
Was it very busy with traffic? Fun to cycle?
Hi Dave,
I had the same problem finding smaller roads as you have discovered. As far as I remember the cycling on the highway was quite OK, plenty of space etc, but probably not the most inspiring. You can’t have it all 🙂
