We set off from Laem Singh this morning, waved off by one of the friendly women who run the resort. We really enjoyed our stay in Laem Singh and are glad we were able to experience one of Thailand's many lovely beaches and the hospitality at Somboon Resort.

When we plan to stay overnight in a small town, we like to see if we can find accommodation on Google Maps or through an online booking website such as Agoda, to ensure we don't turn up and find there is nowhere to stay. In the more remote parts of Laos or Cambodia, we would often rely on the travel diaries of other cyclists to find out whether or not accommodation was on offer. In the case of Wang Chan, we came across Madame Resort on Agoda. While the name may sound a little suspect, it turned out to be a delight. It is a pretty little resort, with 10 beautifully appointed bungalows, friendly staff and a particularly friendly cat! If we had an extra day to spare, we would have happily spent another night at Madame Resort.

Tomorrow, we ride to Chon Buri, a large industrial town 80km south of Bangkok. It will be our second last ride of the trip so while we will be on highway for the whole journey which may not be too pleasant, we will make the most of it as it'll be one of our last long rides for a while.
