Had a relaxing breakfast enjoying the river view before deciding I should get to packing up and be on my way. It was nicer out, with blue skies, but I only had 20 miles to go. Not even two miles out the gate I meet two cyclists heading the opposite way. They pulled over and we all had a nice chat and traded notes for the roads ahead. I love that about cyclists - the instant camaraderie. So now it’s noon and I still have 20 miles to go. I followed road 3115 and then the bike lane and road right along the river into Mukdahan after hitting the Friendship Bridge

I had picked a hotel with great reviews next to the bus station. I knew I was just going to be inside researching anyways. It may be the best bed of the trip so far!! I also think it may have been my subconscious wanting me to catch a bus. I went over and talked with them and found out I can catch the 11:30 or 12:30 bus tomorrow to Ubon Ratchathani. Why would I do that you ask?
I talked to my dentist office in the USA Today and they said it sounds like I need a root canal and to get that done as soon as possible or things could get worse.
I’m on a time crunch to leave Thailand by the 8th and am also dealing with higher flight prices because of the upcoming Chinese New Year. I can tell I am stressed to the max trying to sort logistics, so just decided to get back to Chiang Mai asap.
Today's ride: 23 miles (37 km)
Total: 779 miles (1,254 km)
