Due to a lack of sleep on my part, today we just decided to cycle as far as Rayong, the next major town up the coast. This was only around 30 km. We set off just after 11am, but as we had eaten quite an early breakfast we stopped almost immediately again to have a quick plate of fried rice for the journey :-)

The ride itself was fairly dull and not very scenic, mostly along a major road. But hey, it wasn't really that long. We didn't have any information about Rayong, so we just headed for the seafront. After the fiasco of last time we had tried to find a hotel, we took the first one we saw. It was 600 baht (£13) and had a swimming pool! We were the only customers so we took the poolside room and had a quick swim to freshen up. Great decision.
There wasn't really a decent beach, Rayong is an industrial city, but we took a nice walk up the coast. It was the weekend and there were lots of Thai families and groups of friends having picnics and barbeques (they all also seemed to be consuming large quantities of rum in a very civilised fashion). It was a nice atmosphere. We had a quiet afternoon of blog writing and then a very delicious meal in the evening. A good day!
