080 & 081 Cycle Touring Thailand (7)

(Leana) #1

Surat Thani district – Roadside cottage - 110 km

The day turned out to be another 110-kilometre ride. The weather
was cool and, although a constant drizzle prevailed, the rain didn’t
bucket down as usual, and it felt like I was burning up the tarmac.
“Felt” being the operative word as, in reality, I was doing my usual
slow ride!


There were heaps of lovely people en route. A friendly lady was
selling steamed palm cakes and they were delicious. The next stop
was the coconut sellers where the vendor handed me a unique
coconut containing a shell filled with jelly. It was delicious, thirst-
quenching, and fantastic, and she wanted no money.


Following 110 kilometres of riding, convenient chalets came into view.
The price was reasonable, and it sported a small shop selling crisps,
beer, and cup noodles. I love it when a plan comes together.
