2016 Q5 4NR Day 03 : Chumphon - Chanthaburi

Day 03: Tuesday, 29 Nov 2016
Route: Chumphon - Chanthaburi
Distance: 699 km
Hotel: The Huey Saton Resort


It was raining heavily in the morning. The rest of the journey towards the north was sunny but cool. We stopped in Cha-am for lunch and prayers at Husna Muslim Restaurant. We packed fried rice for tonight's dinner as we might be arriving at our destination very late.

We rode through quite a traffic jam in south Bangkok avoiding the Super-highway. Motorbikes are not permitted to use the motorway all along the route to Chon Buri.

When we arrived in Chon Buri, it was nearly dusk. The Chon Buri Resort was not in operational so we decided to ride on towards Chantaburi. We stayed a night at Huey Saton Resort for Baht490/night.

The resort is 20 km before the Chantaburi town center.
