Singapore Macau Day Nine Chumphong to Bangkok.

This was a long day with over 500kms to cover before reaching our night's halt The Oriental Hotel in Bangkok located right alongside the Mae Nam Chao Phraya River. So after a lousy breakfast at the Novotel where we had an equally rotten meal the night before ,we followed the line of the coast up the Gulf of Thailand alongside spectacular white beaches, small fishing villages and unspoilt countryside with lots to see, fishermen drying their catch, a whitebait drying station, pineapples fields and so on, a really great drive.

ohn Brown, Don Griffiths and us enjoying an early lunch at about 10am, well we did have an early start!

Whitebait laid out to dry......maybe anchovies!

e. On the right you can see a typical Thai fishing village, on the left a lady laying out last night's catch to dry.

We then hit a busy nain road for the last 250 k's into bustling Bangkok

We had a small detour to this temple which is called

Wat Phra Mahathat Praphat.........bet your life is better for knowing that!

Moving furniture Thai style..........imagine what he could do with a Transit Van!!
