Chantaburi – Bo Rai Resort – 83 km
I was unsure where I wanted to go, so I followed minor roads until I
reached the main road. Not feeling like spending time on the busy
Sukhumvit Road, I veered off at the first opportunity. Soon, I found
myself on a superb road heading north through dense forests. The
area seemed seldom visited, as I hardly encountered any traffic or
people. I was thus surprised and delighted to stumble upon quaint Bo
Rai, which sported a lovely hotel and a 7-Eleven.
I also heard from my dear friend, Anil that he was in Pattaya. Since I
had never managed to catch up with them when in India, and had
promised to meet them in Pattaya, I hurriedly organised a ride back
to Pattaya the following morning.

Bo Rai – Pattaya
And, just like that, I was back in Pattaya. Seeing Anil and his friends
was lovely, and we spent an evening socialising at the Beer Garden in
Pattaya.
As Dawn was arriving in four days, I decided to stay put.
