Set-off around 8:00am for a ride around the local rural roads. A lovely day and stopped at a PTT gasoline station with a 7-11 at Mahachai, Samut Sakon, for breakfast of coffee and a ham n' cheese toasty at 9:30am. Mileage 2,498.
Enjoying the ride so decided to continue south-west on to route 35, stopped for petrol at 10:50am and mileage 2,588 (full tank of 91 gasohol for Thb300). Reached Cha Am at 11:20am (Latitude : 12° 48' 00" N Longitude : 99° 58' 00" E - mileage 2,624) and found small hotel (Cha Am Villa Beach Hotel for Thb1,700 per night). Given did not expect to be stopping overnight, had to buy tooth paste, t-shirt etc., etc....
Picture, courtesy of friend, is Don Hoi Lot on way to Cha Am (miles and miles of mud and razor clams I am advised)
Left Cha Am soon after breakfast (and an entertaining walk along the beach which was full of late-night / early-morning party-goers) the next day at about 8:00am. Reached Bangkok, after one petrol refill en route, at 11:05am and mileage 2,805.
