(Leana) #1

Roadside Cottage –Chumphon - 90 km

The looming possibility of thunderstorms didn't deter me, and I
pedalled as a woman possessed towards Chumphon. Under
threatening clouds, I cycled nonstop, skipping sightseeing. The rainy
season had transformed the landscape, with rivers overflowing and
drains clogged. It felt like every house not on stilts was at risk of
getting submerged.


By midday, I reached Chumphon just before the rain arrived and
made my way to The Farang Bar. Although the atmosphere seemed
quieter than I remembered, the affordability and convenience of the
bar and restaurant remained unchanged, providing a comfortable
spot to unwind and hide from the weather.
