The problem with an evening in the girly bars of Hua Hin is that you can't tell what is male or female and who is going home with who so in the morning it was time to move on.
Our tuk tuk found the bike hire shop around 10am and the helpful guys soon had a couple of newly serviced Marin touring bikes fitted with panniers and all the repair kit required to last the couple of weeks hire. The last advice was where the best noodle soup in town was and after indulging we were off under our own steam. Pedalling south out of Hua Hin, it wasn't long before the bespoke tour took us by some massive bronze statues and we could not resist a closer look. It was Rajabhakti Park, some kind of military shrine to past Thai kings and rumour has it that they had been scandalously purchased from donations by corrupt army officers demanding up to 45 million baht per statue!
During the afternoon we managed 45km mostly along the coastal roads and cycle paths and after a few refreshment stops along the way we arrived at Dolphin Bay. We were the only customers at a quiet little Thai resort, La Mai with a swimming pool but just across the
road from the beach....ideal!
Another instalment by a favourite band of mine, namely
Alabama 3 and another opportunity to crowbar in another great track in from the album M.O.R. With vocals
by the lovely and sadly missed from the new lineup, Devlin Love.
