Surat Thani to Chaiya: Easy ride, work and a Wat
We had a very easy ride up to Chaiya. We've booked into the Udomlap Hotel - I think it may be the only one in town. The plan is to get some work done and visit the Wat Phra Borom That later in the day.
Work lasted about an hour before my tummy told me it felt neglected, so we went off to find some lunch - a plate of pad ka prao moo. Then it was back to the Udomlap for more work (for me) and an afternoon nap (for Leigh).
Work and the afternoon thunder shower ended at about four o'clock and we cycled up to Wat Phra Borom That. Leigh had laso wanted to see the ruins of Wat Lhong but we didn't manage to find it. Back we went to the hotel and enjoyed a beer while we checked it location on the internet. Then it was back on the bikes to see Wat Lhong and stopped off at the same plastic chair where we had lunch to enjoy a plate of Moo Grop (crispy pork) for supper.
Today's ride: 53 km (33 miles)
Total: 4,477 km (2,780 miles)
