Day 1148 11th Septemeber 2019
60 miles (Uthai Thani to bang rachan ) Average speed 11.9 mph Top speed 26 mph
A good day on good roads.
I got up at 8.30 and chatted to Tarah before leaving at 9.15 after not much sleep in my hammock.
I didn’t find breakfast in town and carried on to the glass temple which was not as impressive as I had imagined.

I had an iced coffee before crossing the bridge to a place where I had chicken and rice served by a pretty Thai girl. Then I took a good road alongside the river, but I didn’t see much of it. I stopped at a garage for chocolate buns with butter and sugar inside from 7/11. Then I realised I’d missed the turning for a homestay so continued on to a boutique hostel. There was nobody around and the price was 600 baht so I left and had a rest while taking on my second Fanta orange. I tried to negotiate my way through a path only to find a river blocking my way and had to detour another two miles to get to my hotel, so not a shortcut after all!!
A river blocking my way, so detour again
