Easy Ride – Simply cycling around

Wang Tha Chan > Tambon Watthana Nakhon (48km)

Hello, that has been a very long time since I’ve updated this website. I’m actually in Siem Reap since 2 months and I’m going to stay a year (I might said that already). I’ve visited Angkor wat of course, the famous temple that thousands of people visit every day. I took so much pictures that I became so lazy to update everything and this blog froze… Today I don’t know what happened but I’ve found the motivation to keep writing this adventure :-)
Last night has been a very peaceful night. It didn’t rain but if it did I would have been totally fine. I like this kind of place, they are very convenient. Let’s pack and go!

Amazon cafe > Wang Tha Chan (61km)

I’m not really into taking pictures these days. I haven’t done any extraordinary things since I came back in Thailand. The last night was okay, surprisingly not too noisy. I’ve found a spot at the back of the petrol station with trees and grass (as you can see). Yesterday, during I was setting up my camp, a woman passed by so I told her I was going to camp here just one night. I don’t really know if she was agree or not but nobody came to kick me out, fortunately :-) This morning, I packed everything and came back to the same Amazon cafe. I stayed there all day and cycled later this evening with a bit a night cycling too.

Palm Tree Forest > Amazon Cafe (13km)

This is where I slept last night, in the middle of palm trees. I had a bit of rain but nothing to worry about really. Not any dogs bothered me so, actually, everything was fine. This morning, I’ve cycled only few kilometres to reach the next amazon cafe and even slept at the back of the petrol station. Nothing exciting.

Tambon Bang Khla > Palm Tree Forest (24km)

More I go forward and less I take pictures these days. I must say, the landscape is very linear here. The road is flat, the weather the same and I don’t do very interesting things too. The last night was pretty quiet. I’ve done about 15 kilometres this morning to reach the next checkpoint and later this evening did another 10km to find a spot where to sleep. Basically that’s it.

Chachoengsao > Tambon Bang Khla (30km)

Morning! What a good and quiet night. If the sun would not come up that early I would have slept until 9am! Today, I came back to the same Amazon Cafe as yesterday. I must stretch time :-) I stayed all day and done most of the kilometres this evening. And that’s all I’ve done today :-)

Luang Phaeng Road > Chachoengsao (28km)

Today I’ve done a short, flat and easy ride to get to the next cafe, nothing really original or fancy. I know in few days, it will be certainly more tricky to work on my laptop so I enjoy doing it now :-). Later this evening I struggled a bit to find a quiet spot where to sleep but finally, as always, I managed to set up my hammock in a middle of a field :-) Really simple day over that…

Tha Rua > Bang Pa-in (63km)

Today, I’ve been visiting a temple, it has been a long time. Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya is THE city for old temples apparently. There few of them in the same area. A part that, I cycled from very early this morning until the next petrol station, stayed there most of the day before I headed to temple to catch the sunset. After the visit I struggled a bit to find my next 5 stars hotel but as always, I found it! :-)
