One of the great pleasures in life that I miss in living in Thailand is getting in the car and going for a scenic drive in the car. Not even having a real destination in mind but just driving for the sher pleasure of it and enjoying the scenery. Coming from the San Francisco Bay Area, there are many beautiful drives to do...driving up the twisties of the coastal highway 1, with its crashing seashore cliffs or driving through the mountains on the way to Yosemite. However, here in Thailand, the only remotely scenic (and assessible) drive I have done is up around Chang Mai (the Samoung-Hang Dong highway). Also, the driving around Phang Nga province near Phuket is also nice. Otherwise, all the other drives I have done are along dusty roads leading to nowwhere. There are no scenic coastal routes that I am aware of. Are there any other nice scenic drives to be had...especially near the Eastern Seaboard?
