Nahkon Nayok to Phanat Nikhom

I am starting to question the geography of my map. I keep on riding my bike 9 plus hours a day and I still haven't reached the coast of the Bay of Bangkok. Therefore it must not exist.

I made it to the small city of Phanat Nikhom. The plan this morning was not to go as far, but I decided against that and went about another 20km. This means tomorrow I have a 50km dash Si Racha rather then a 70km.

Today the weather was hot and sunny with a moderate headwind that dampened spirits. My knees creek a little more battling through that stuff. I cannot wait for a magical tailwind!

So I ended moving my ass 104km making the total trip at 1487km. I wonder if I will be over 2000km by the time I reach the Cambodia border? Only time will tell.
As you can see it seems that the coast is near. I will follow the coastline into Cambodia. It should be amazing!
 You might sense some negativity in the above words. If you do, please understand I am behind schedule. I am riding my bike through parched agricultural land, but now its worse because I am close to Bangkok so the traffic has tripled. I am trying to keep positive thoughts rolling through my head. I really need to hit the coast. Everything will be different. Also, I pray for the day I step into Cambodia because then I wont be under such an immediate time restriction. Ahh the future seems so promising!
Going insane somewhere along the road. At least the bananas were good!
