After crossing the boarder into Thailand, it was still early so I decided to do another 100km to Trat, covering a total of 330km today from Sihanouk Ville to Trat. To me, re-entering Thailand is always a relief.. everything seem to be '5-star' again.. in terms of amenities, roads, food.. etc etc..
That's the owners VW Carman Giare. sad.. a non runner..
hopefully our collectible items don't end up a flower bay or stand like this..
had dinner here at this rustic looking restaurant in front of my room.. it's tastefully done.
That;s my RM20/ room.. reminds me of the kampong house in Pg where i lived some 40 yrs ago..
the cheapest room in my entire trip.. BHT 200/
Heavy downpour when I reached Trat..
Narrowest part of Thailand..
before this fishing village..
Mr Jiri from Germany.. who came up to me saying he spotted me in Laos. he's going to ship his GS1100 to S'pore this October to ride Asia.. Probably a better idea to buy one in S'pore.. wht say you Roy?
this is the Thai side. An hour spent here but a proper carnet is done..
Surprise to get clearance out of Cambodia in 15mins.. after my passport clearance at the immigration, the officer pointed across his office at this small booth which says 'customs'.. I went across but no one in the booth, thinking I had to wait till lunch hour is over.. not knowing the officer is actually taking a lunch nap comfortably in a hammock.. i gently knock and he come up (..quite stone looking) took my LTA photostat copy which was stamp in Poipot, he put another stamp and ask me to go.. as though telling me to quickly buzz off not to disturb his sleep..
casino price.. had my lunch at the jackpot room here for 3,500 Ril.. thats less then a dollar.. should have been free if eric was here.. haha

After crossing the last bridge at Koh Kong.. at one glance at the standard of this hotel in a small town like this, anyone would guess it's a casino again
wah, we take our hats off you as you can stay anywhere even at this kampung resthouse with sarong curtains....
ReplyDeleteSee that you have met several international bikers and make new friends along the way.
Koh Kong looks like a nice seaside destination.
home sweet home.....
