Pak Thong Chai to Ban San Chao Por

June 25, 2016

We wanted to have a short day today after a couple of weeks of averaging more than 70 a day so we headed for the Shahana Hotel at the junction of Highway 304 and the road to Khao Yai National Park. The 304 is quite busy and gently climbs 300 meters after an easy first thirty kilometers. The Shahana is OK if a bit noisy. A review on TripAdvisor by a Dutch traveller complained that the beds are hard. Of course they're hard - they are Thai beds. I actually like these boards-for-beds.

This might look like a perfectly ordinary mattress, but it is not. This is a Thai mattress! Thai mattresses are actually solid blocks of wood, covered with a layer of foam approximately 0.001mm thick. This is covered with the usual mattress material, to disguise them as normal mattreses.

Today's ride: 52 km (32 miles)
Total: 4,944 km (3,070 miles)
