    Surat Thani To Chumphon Avoiding The Highway



    The route 417, 4112, 4134, 4002, 4012, 4198, 4011, 4003, 2010, 41, 2018, 327

    Total distance 236 km

    A nice early 7.30 am start but even at that time its very warm and sticky here

    On the 417





    The scenery is still good so far and no sign of any burning yet







    A jellyfish on maximum zoom

    A shot of the beach for those of you who like it



    The ant egg pilferers are on the prowl





    The white powder that gets put in with the eggs, does anyone know what it is?









    I eventually emerge on the 41 right opposite this Buddah statue but only stay on it for 4.1 km before turning right onto the 2018 and continuing into Chumphon without getting back on it, not bad going, only 4 out of 236 km on the highway.
    I was checked into my hotel and showered by 2 pm, then it was time for my afternoon nap, I think old age has finally caught up with me on this trip as I seem to tire out in the afternoons now

    I promised myself that as soon as I was out of the Muslim south I would treat myself to a large plate of dead pig, and did I enjoy it

    Plenty of mushrooms and cabbage too

    Its been over six weeks since I last enjoyed a meal like this and the bacon seemed even sweeter than normal, absolutely delicious, 99 Baht

    Plus of course the ice cream

    Apparently its rice flower Slash. Its the ant egg season right now so best go for it while the season is on.
