It was quite overcast and at times spots of rain.

 

From this point I rode to Dead End Road @ Khuen Kamnan Road, here.

I have downloaded google maps, it will get you back to main roads and help. But i would not like to ride all day like that. Google maps i use with a headphone, which is great when it works 🙂

I was suggesting you try Maps.me but if it does not fill your needs no problem.

I did try the app before and did not like it.

Arriving at Prachuap the first few hotels were full, so I went to the more expensive Prachuap Beach Hotel, which has wonderful views over the bay.

Yesterday was a rainy day here in Prachuap Khiri Khan, the first photo I took was the rain over the bay. Later in the day I started a ride, but quickly returned as the rain started again.

 

About 5pm bored I decided to ride to some local site, first was Prachuap Khiri Khan City Pillar Shrine, here.

Nearby is the train station, here.

I then rode to Plajoat Pier, here.

Today, as yesterday was windy and rainy on and off. I started a ride and the rain started, so I just took one quick photo of a plane at the Airforce base, here.

Arriving back at my hotel I noticed my phone has a vertical green line to bottom. So tomorrow I must ride back to Hua Hin and hopefully get it repaired at the service center there.

Mine did that a couple of months ago...new screen required...but my old phone (A73 I think) was no longer in production, so no new screens available...good luck Chris

Today was phone repair day, I arrived in Hua Hin about 9.30 and the staff at Samsung were spot with their help, but it was an expensive fix. 8k plus 1k because it was a European model, so when I bought it second hand in Pattaya Samsung forgot to mention it.

 

I’m not sure why they add 1k for a non Thai phone, but basically I have a new phone now.

 

The company gave me a loaner phone during the wait, another bonus to them.

 

As it happened my CT125 battery died yesterday too. No issue as it can be kick started, but with time on my hands I had a new one fitted. 770 baht.

 

A boring expensive day but no rain and the bike and I will ride south in a few days weather permitting.

Today I rode inland towards the Burmese border, just a little green laning unfortunately, but good weather and views. My way was blocked and rode as far as here.

The mountain view of the border was taken from here.

I then rode to the coast and stopped at Lemon Bay to photograph the beach and waves, here.

I then headed to the Blue Mosque, but had to cross the railway track Thai style, meaning through a gap in the fence.

 

The Blue Mosque is here.

Just up the coast there are a couple of old trains, here.

Arriving back to my hotel I saw the weld had broken on my tool box, I went to a bike mechanic who could not repair it, but we noticed some builders making a roof on a shop nearby, so I asked them if they could weld it, which they did for free, great job!

Just love the train. ''At the end of the line.''
