The familiar site when leaving Phuket island are the food stalls. They sell mostly, dried fish, freshly cooked red crabs and pineapples.
We drove North on the West coast up past Ranong and then across to Chumphon and North again.
The first stretch of road was quiet and very pretty going through lots of forested areas. (Rubber trees and bush) This road is often busy with foreigners doing their 'visa run' (renewals) at the Myanmar boarded.
Navigation was done with our ipad. The GPS on Goggle maps was perfect and the blue dot showed us our progress on the roads.
Our first night stop over was in the sleepy town of Phrachuap Khiri Khan, we stayed in an old hotel right on the beach 'Hadthong Hotel'. A room with breakfast (a good buffet) was Baht 1100 (R320.00).
Good clean rooms with aircon!
This is a beautiful bay with calm seas, a quiet town with a few restaurants along the beach front.
On the hill was a Wat (Buddhist temple), that I'm sure only attracts the fittest of followers.
