Today I was on the beach early to watch sunrise. No motorbike shots as it was a 2 minute walk from my room.

 

Beautiful skies for a while. I am still hoping to see a thunderstorm over the sea to photograph.

 

Internet and laptop issues made the rest of the morning a pain.

This morning I rode south from Ban Krut looking for things to photograph, plenty of beach views!

 

I stopped where the pine trees line the beach, here.

Further down the road I stopped to look for something to photograph, but the beach was full of rubbish.

 

Nearby there was a statue of a sea turtle, here.

I then carried on to Wat Bo Thong Lang, here.

Nice views of the temple and Buddha Statue here. And the bay with restaurants around it called Separated Sea, here,

Today I started a rainy season tour on my CT142. A nice ride from Pattaya to Kanchanaburi and only light showers around.

 

My first stop was Pak Phraek Station in Kanchanaburi, where some kids we practicing their swearing with me.

I then rode a few km to Kanchanaburi Station, here.

I took a few photos before checking in at the Smiley Frog Hotel.

That's a really nice little bay area, Bo Thong Lang Bay, we pop down there every now & then. Au Coffee has some good desserts, and Suda Villa is inexpensive, but not pet friendly.

Around to the next bay, further south is 'Follow Me cafe' and tasty food & desserts.

Low tide ...

Thanks :)

Today I woke early to get the camera ready to photograph sunrise, but there was heavy rain and I cancelled getting wet.

 

I left Ban Krut about 9am as Prachuap is not far away. There was a lot of rain out in the sea and it followed me to Prachuap.

This morning very early I rode to Saranwithi Pier in the bay at Prachuap, here.

I was taking photos until the sun was fully up.

 

I then rode north to the top of the bay, but none of my photos came out well.

 

Halfway back I did stop to photograph my bike with the bay in the background.

Taking photos of the boat was muddy sand, i was standing in sea at the end, worrying with an expensive camera :)

Today, day 18 of my ride I left Prachuap Khiri Khan for the short ride to Sam Roi Yot. I followed the coast roads all the way with a couple of stops.

 

First stop was Wa Khao Beach, here.

Next stop was at the dead end road at Sai Cave, here.

Only popped in there last year, after living here for almost 10 yrs. Me & the dog out looking for things to snap photos of. What's with the big ass parking lot, as I don't think anyone knows it's there.

There's another little park area a 7 kms south of, nice concrete wall and stepped down to the sand, and again, rarely sees visitors. Also called Wa Khao, with Khun Rong Palat Chu Shrine.

Both nice private areas, if a confident swimmer and surf is cooperating. No developement, so no concerns about fecal count 👍
