92 km, 6h 10 min. One thing we can confirm after riding in Thailand for a week is that Thai’s are definitely dog people. Almost every house we pass by has at least one and sometimes many dogs associated with it. They are seldom tied up, and often wonder at us as we pass. We…

70 km, 4h 20 min, max temp 36 Our day started out slow, with a huge breakfast at the Tusita Resort (included with our room). We enjoyed a first course of toast, followed by a protein course (eggs, bacon, ham, and sausage), followed by an Asian course (Scott had a soup and Becky had Dim…

We are behind on the schedule we put together shortly after leaving Kuantan. As a result of spending an additional week in Malaysia and a desire to spend more time in Thailand, we will not be going into Laos or riding much in China. The longer we spend here, the more we discover things we…

29 km, 2 hr, max temp 39 We were both still tired after our ride yesterday, so we moved very slowly this morning. In addition, Scott seems to be suffering from some of the stomach woes that Becky had. So we decided on a relatively short day today. We stopped by the Tusita Resort and…

We spent three nights in Hat Bang Ben, and did surprisingly little. At this stage in our trip, we’re starting to feel the need for down-time more frequently. We did explore the area and spend some time talking to our hosts and other travelers. It’s not the same backpacker vibe we felt in Krabi, but…

89 km, 5h 10 min, 42 deg C We started the day expecting a long, hot, and relatively flat day. Well, two out of three ain’t bad! The flatness of this area was just a little overstated. We never really left rolling hills, and a few of the hills were a little bigger than rollers…

53 km, 3h 10 min, max temp 41 deg We left early expecting more Songkram chaos today, but only saw a few groups of kids with water and they did not even try to get us wet (well one of them missed Becky and got Scott quite nicely). Today was either going to be a…
