Khao Sam Roi National Park – Cha-Am – 80 km
I had difficulty dragging myself from under the white linen (a
novelty), as I rarely enjoyed the luxury of a room that provided any
cover, let alone white linen. Moreover, Thailand’s weather is far too
hot and humid, and thus, there is no need for blankets or even a
sheet.
With my African music going full blast, I set off through the hills of
the National Park. Indecisive about overnighting in Hua Hin, I
continued to Cha-Am. At first, I considered giving Cha-Am a miss, but
Bangkok was a comfortable two-day ride away. Moreover, I wasn’t
happy finding a tick on me, even though getting tick-bite fever was
unlikely. Still, I wasn’t too fond of these pests. The reports of rabid
dogs in the area were far more worrying.
