Going Slow through Thailand and Cambodia. A Cycle Tour. : Ban Rai to Chai Nat

Nice bike! You see the flatness of the scenery. Beautiful I know.

I made it to Chai Nat! Here is a big city. The biggest one I've cycled in since Suphanburi like 15 days ago. It is quite funny I must admit, but when I am in big city I long for quiet little towns, but when I am actually in these quite little towns I do sometimes miss the convenience of lets say a ... 7/11. It does feel good though to get out of the mountains. It was an awesome experience, and I experienced a lot. Now I am ready for all these new experiences to come from the east!

How about a little summary of the ride? I got on my bike at just past 7am and I pretty much cycled until 3 in the afternoon with a couple breaks. I had a a lot of dogs chase me today. I don't know but I can't feel a little bit but hurt inside when these dogs come roaring from their driveways and chasing me down the road barking viciously just a couple feet from my fleshy calve. I try to pedal faster as the barks start to sound something like "Farang! Farang! Farang!" I pedal hard but am still mindful to keep my defense up if I have to do a swift kick to the teeth if one of them actually lunges at me with teeth erect. Thankfully that hasn't happened but I imagine as a ride away with the dog far behind that I had kicked them. Dark thoughts.

I rode just over 97km in about 7 hours and 45 min. Of course that includes the whole day of riding with all my breaks. Its kinda nice to see that you went over 10km an hour. Flat land can work wonders on your self esteem, and well, mountains can really make you seem like a big baby!
