The ride from
Trang to
Khlong Thom geothermal hot spring was rather disappointed.The place was not like what we expected from the earlier research from the net.Furthermore,being foreigner we had to pay 90baht.3x more than the locals.There are 2 man make crystal pools and another one natural hot flowing pool where it flows thru' few steps and eventually into the river.The temp was just warm,not too hot for us to dip inside for a refreshing clean up after a long ride. We initially had set our mind camp here,but was told not allow.Later Brent found out the reason why , because there are chalets for rent but was too pricey 600baht,another reason for a NO, is the mosquitoes here were fierce and big ,the pain was unbearable, so we decided to cycle back to The Sweet Dream resort which we saw when on the way in. This resort runs by an old couple with very basic rooms for 250baht.We are not complaining as what we need most now is a bed to sleep and a bath to clean.Dinner was at 150m away at a local
thai restaurant,we ordered the same dishes as the next table
b'cos it looks very appetising - Fish tom yam and wild squirrel meat fried in traditional
thai curry.A very satisfying and stomach full meal for 270baht
