Songkran, the Thai new years celebrations where they throw lots of water at anybody and anyone. Crossing the border back into Thailand I got a warning from the border guard saying that I will get soaked. I smiled as he stamped my passport. Oh boy did I get wet.
The road to Chanthaburi was all downhill and I am pretty sure I had a nice tail wind to whisk me 90km before 1pm. I am feeling fine and all is doing well, bike included except for some annoying break sounds I can't bother to fix.

| Dinner is somewhere in there. |
From Battambang I left for the Thailand border. The road was the usual bumpy and narrow. Trucks with a big black cloud of smoke whizzed by stealing my oxygen and replacing it with poison. I reached the city of Paillin after 80km and decided to call it a day.

| I wish I could start every day of cycling with that! |

| First Flat! |
From Paillin it was a quick 20km to the border where they stamped my passport and let me pass. I then biked a good 90km to reach Chanthaburi.
 |
| Yep, more countryside |
 |
| and just a bit more ;) |
Total distance is 2821km.
 |
| Just a couple more days until I am taking my bike apart in Bangkok. |
On a side note. The new brooks is a little sore on the ass. But its not that bad! I have faith that it will get better. Anyway, I think the next post I will be writing from Bangkok!
