No real highlights today. mainly a moving day with a border crossing. Started early with a 200 km 3 hr drive towards the Thai border at Poipet/Aranyaprathet and fairly slow crossing process. Glad to have a guide to get us through the chaotic process & who had to openly pay a small fee to get through the Thai immigration.
From the border it was a short bus ride to a typical Thai roadside lunch stop before 56 kms of afternoon cycling to Sa Kaew and our overnight stay at the River Resort. The most immediate impression of the country was a more developed & clean environment, good roads and the sparsity of people & traffic. The riding was on very quiet rural roads in perfect temperature & favourable winds. The Thai weather bureau have forecast that this is the coolest week of the year before starting to walm up again next week. A lucky break for riding.
The word resort in the hotel name should have been a warning as it was anything but.
