Only two items to report on today.

Firstly, we met another cycle tourist for the first time on this trip.  We are also the first cycletourists he has met on his tour.  Olle is from Sweden and is on his way to Hua Hin where his trip ends.  He started in Udon Thani and first headed north to Nong Khai before heading back south.  Like us he used the train service to minimize cycling through Bangkok.  

Secondly, we had to move to other digs because we where we were staying was fully booked for tonight.  Olle was very disappointed because he was looking forward to having someone to talk to, having been on his own for the past three weeks.  We've moved to a place on the outskirts of town where we stayed  a few years ago.   

Tomorrow we're heading off early to Pak Thale to get some birding done after which we will head down the coast to Chao Samram.
