Lots of km,one snake and some dogs...

Had some nice restdays in Cha Am and Hua Hin! Watched POOL and ENGA!

Lots of beers and good food!

Then came a long day at the office out of Hua Hin

 Planned to go 75 km to Sam Roy Yat and then i went mad!
Was cruising along some beautiful beaches and enjoying a lot. Sightseeing! Passed the national park at Sam Roy Yat,and it was just depressing 30 km trough shrimpfarms. Did not even want to check out those beaches. Then i lost my way and was back at the HW 4 and ended up "in the tunnel" racing along the highway! At some point i decided to do a left turn to find that nice coastal road again,but ended up going north at the 4020 rd. Back on the highway again after a 5 km detour.... Tried once more to find the beachroad but was lost again...... Another detour. (well,i announced i would do my best to put in some extra km due to what i lost in the north,anyway,and today i di it...) Then back on the highway 4 i saw signs " Prachaup Khiri Khan 42 km,and i was like "what the hell,lets do it" Did 140 km in 6 hours with an average 22,25! All total 6,30. Madness! I guess thats what some rest-days can do. (even if i had too many cigaretts and drank alot of beers...) Peaking! Prachuap Khiri Khan is just beautiful! I am on the main beach at the Sun Beach Hotel and have a beautiful room with seaview,swimming-pool and good wifi for 900 bath.
Stayed 2 nights and did a nice  sightseeing in the aerea. I will come back here!

Next up was Ban Saphan,and i had a hell-day!!!!

 Took a lot of wrong turns today... Not really sure what roads i was on in the end,and made the wrong choise going all the way here. Should have stopped at Ban Krud,but wanted to get closer to Chumpon.

 Had a snake-incident! I saw a snake and thought it was dead cause it was kind of flat behind its head. Then when i got closer it curled u...

p and raised its head! It looked like a small Cobra!!! I unclicked my spd's and passed it with my legs as high as possible! Shit!!!!

I have tried to identify the snake and it is possible it was a Sumatran Cobra! There are some of them down here... It is a spitting cobra,and the bite is poisinous as well. They can spit you in the eyes from 3 meters! I was going in ca 20 km/h,and that was my luck,i guess. I wear some cool sunglasses,of cause,so it might not have damaged me if it had time for spitting....

Then in 3 different occations dogs attacked me! At one time i had 3 dogs really going for me! One acutally was biting my bag on the trailer and slowed me down while another one was going for my leg! I pumped as many watts as i was able to and did some zigzagging! When the dog on my trailer lost its balance and let me go i was safe. Shit!!!

2 other incidents with straydog also,but not as close as this one...

What is it with dogs in the south? I did not have this problem up north!

Already from the first minutes today i did feel i was low on energy. Did 122 km in the end,but needed 8 hours. The wrong turns really wore me out in the end....

Now i am fine,had a great italian home made pasta and enjoying some good redwine at the Sunrise Bungalows at Bang saphan. Italian owner. 

 

Been resting here today. The place is ok,but i would preferred Ban Krud....

 

I will have a weapon tomorrow! Bamboo stick!

 

Next report possibly from the Andaman coast!
