dinga Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 As threatened, I'm now planning my next trip on the Mighty Enfield for a week or so in early January - this time to the South on a one-way ride, and return on the Songkla---Sattahip Ferry. All suggestions / recommendations on routes, sights, accommodation, places to eat (etc) greatfully received. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malathione Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Sounds like a great trip and I hope you'll post whatever information you find here, as well. I'll certainly follow it. The ferry might be touch and go, hard to tell for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - figure it's better to go early on the ferry lest it has a limited lifespan.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinnock Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Sounds like a great trip. If following the coastline, perhaps a first day coffee stop at the newly opened Aloah Cafe opposite Bangsaen Beach? It has motorbike parking out front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post dinga Posted January 14, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2022 UPDATE - just returned from the trip [total of 1,791 Kms travelled]. Day 1: Rayong --> Sam Roi Yot [457 Kms]. Tedious until south of Hua Hin (especially coming through Bangkok) - then great scenery. Stayed at Blue Beach Resort - recommended Day 2: SRY --> Chumpon [290 Kms]. Stunning scenery around SRY- Phrya Nakhon Cave a highlight. Stayed at Puen Jai Resort - recommended Day 3: Chumpon --> Kamphuan [213 Kms]. Great ride but forced to leave Chumpon late due to an electrical problem - hence missed exploring the sights of Ranong. Will return to do so. Stayed at I-In Resort Kamphuan - recommended Day 4: Kamphuan --> Ao Nang [225 kms]. Another great ride. Stayed at The Palace, Ao Nang - recommended (don't be put off by the facade) Day 5: Ao Nang --> Trang [268 Kms]. Nice moments along the coast and National Parks Day 6: Trang --> Songkla [227 Kms]. Some nice moments but about half the trip in the dark (bike booked into the Enfield Dealer in Hat Yai at 9am to re-examine electrical issue). Stayed at WSotel - recommended Day 7/8: Songkla --. Sattahip by Ferry; then home to Rayong [110 Kms]. Ferry trip highly recommended - I'll certainly take it again. Now thinking I can do one more trip in February - before the high temperatures arrive prior to the rains. Am thinking maybe back to SRY and Ranong. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
