Chill Cycling

 

Should that not be 'Hot and Sweaty Cycling' ?

cycling in Thailand .....................................very dangerous....

There are many fine places for cycling in Thailand, but Thap Sakae straddles Phetkasem Road, and the traffic whizzes through and the noise is tremendous. How do they come up with such daft ideas?

Why would they go near Phetkasem rd, as plenty of road east of ... nice 'chill ride'

You can even go 'under' Phetkasem Rd, if you wanted to ride westward, and rack up some kms.

Indeed, you can, but coming up on the northbound side is a little scary as there is not a proper lane for vehicles joining Phetkasem Road.

Why 'join Phetkasem, if out for a ride toward the hills.  We are still talking about bicycle riding ... yes ?
