Taphan Hin – Tha Tako – 98 km
The morning market was already in full swing on departing the (not-
so-new) New Hua Hin Hotel. I continued south along the river,
passing the, by now, familiar small villages and bright green rice
paddies.
Around noon, I decided to change my route and head east instead of
going through Bangkok. However, I soon realised I needed to
withdraw more cash, but Miss Smarty Pants' decision to cancel her
Bangkok Bank card meant I couldn't make a cardless withdrawal. The
word “fuck” left my mouth with alarming frequency! Fortunately, I
had just about enough money for a room and food. Still, I
desperately needed to stop at the nearest Bangkok Bank, 55
kilometres to the south, first thing in the morning. The drama was
never-ending!
