We set off from Surat Thani in the morning and planned to get to Phetchaburi for the night. We got there by early evening, after missing the town and having to turn round, only to be met by hoards of scooters and manic traffic. The place was the busiest town we had seen in three weeks!
We could not find a hotel but stopped at a restaurant as recommended by the Rough Guide - not the best meal we have had in Thailand! Something was telling us Phetchaburi was not for us.......
We carried on towards Bangkok and found a hotel in Damnoen Saduak, west of Bangkok. This place has a famous floating market each day and attracts alot of tourists. As we had time the next day, we decided to pay it a visit.
A Land Rover Defender and a motorbike head off for a trip across Northern Africa, the Middle East and Europe. How long will it take? Who knows!
