We started purposely late at 9 am cos' we knew today's journey to Ranong is only 52 km and we wanted a good sleep.As we roll our bikes out,the resort lady owner wanted to have pictures with us,she too invites us for coffee and bread.While enjoying our free breakfast,I had the chance to talk to a couple who speaks good English,they told me they originated from Malacca in Malaysia and still had relatives living in Puchong.Good weather continues with sun already hot on us as we say goodbye to them. The ride is more relaxing and no pressure with Brent and I taking turns to lead. Pretty much the same terrain as the last few days.We even side track 2 km to one of the waterfall,but was forced to turn back,there is one part of very steep soft earth which our heavy loaded bikes couldn't take it. I also tested Brent's trailer mounting on my recumbent and went for a short spin.No problem but guess one just needed sometime to be good. With 3 km before Ranong, Brent suggested to buy some provisions at the Tesco Lotus hypermarket .Ranong ,a big town close to the Myanmar border by boat ,is fairly visited by foreign tourists, causes resort and hotel here a little pricey. Tinidee@Ranong Hotel which we stay comes with hot pool,swimming pool and live band bar cost 590 baht promotion rate with 1700 baht as normal rate,as told by the receptionist. I just had to control my laughter as I was not have the chance to open my mouth cos' she speaks like a machine!!!
