As it says, I would be grateful to hear some suggestions on CM down to Rayong.

I don't mind an easterly detour - and I like smaller curvy roads (of course not TOO small, and hopefully decent surface!)

I ride a CBR250, and can put on decent mileage in a day (first day I got it I put on 500km).

I want to avoid Ayuthaya, and go further east somehow.

One or two nice stops along the way. Bit of nature? Nice hills or mountains? Best food in most obscure location? Whatever!

Thanks, Mark

Pretty cool! I am piecing together pieces of a route from him already.

He doesn't cover all of the way I want to go, but certainly has a lot.

Cheers, M

Yes, great tour. In the south there´s the road from Aranyaprathet to Trat or through the nationalpark to Chonburi. From Trat to Rayong on the new Panorama Road, which wasn´t finish last time. But I guess it is now. Close to beach and paralell to the Sukhumvit.

While we are on the discussion on heading to Rayong, how about from Hua Hin? Would prefer to bypass Bangkok as well, I imagine I have to circle about Bangkok around Nakhon Pathom?? But would this keep me out of Bangkok? I have no problems going through Bangkok but would like to avoid it, I have never ridden my bike to Rayong just my truck so need some advice.

Thanks.
