Phang Nga is a place for the rock climbers. We passed by so many giant individual block of lime stones hills,rising up from the ground so vertically steep up few hundreds meter high to the sky,almost all along this stretch of road from Krabi to Phang Nga.But Brent and I were no rock climbers,so we only watch from our bikes and take many pictures. Our ride from Phang Nga started early at 7.30am,even though I did watch the world cup semifinal match between Spain and Germany.What a game! Spain played exceptionally well and deserved to win .My bet is definitely on Spain this coming Final.My ride performance was surprisingly good despite the lack of sleep.The rain in the afternoon slow us down for 40min but in exchange we now had a cooler air in riding. At 4.30pm,we arrived in Phang Nga, the town still remains quite sleepy since I last visited 2-3 years back,old wooden shops still can be seen lying on both sides of the main street. Checked into the Phang Nga Guest House for 300 baht. Not much xtvt here except eating,not even had time to go the internet,By 9 pm the town is quite dead!
