| (Driving on Rama IX Motorway bypassing Bangkok) |
Date: 14 Sep 2018 (Friday)
Route: Chaam - Trat
Hotel: Trat Centre Hotel
We had breakfast in the hotel. The Chaam Villa Resort has expanded and took over the next building and caters for bus-loads of tourists.
This morning we drove towards Trat via the Rama IX highway avoiding the normal traffic jam in Southern Bangkok which was fairly bad in the morning. We paid a total of Baht125 for the toll.
Before we reached Chanthaburi, we stopped for lunch at Wang Chan Halal Restaurant in Rayong district. After refusing politely an offer to perform our prayer in the restaurant, Mr Daud, the owner of the restaurant helped to show us the direction to the nearest mosque. After lunch we visited and prayed at Wang Chan Mosque about 6 km from the restaurant.
It was raining heavily all the way to Trat. It was already dark when we checked in Trat Centre Hotel for Baht 650 inclusive breakfast.
