I'm in Thailand. I got here yesterday. I've decided to bike from here to China. Didn't you say this before, last year when you were in India? oh, boy who cried bike to China? Touche old boy (I had to google how to spell that too-shay) Yes, I've utter things similar to this before, but this time I mean it. I figure I've got a lot of things on my side that might not have been when I was in India. This time there aren't any huge mtn. ranges, visas snafus, or civil wars blocking my blissful, stress-free pedalling (note: I haven't started yet). In fact, I think it will be quite flat. Also, I don't have a return plane ticket which makes flying back out a Bangkok not a viable plan B, demoting that option to like plan D.
I'm currently in Authaya, a nice spot 60km north of Bangkok. I flew in yesterday and took a short train ride up here. Train ticket at station: 11 baht. 1 can 7-up at station: 15 baht. Escaping having to ride that portion on my bicycle, a stretch of road that would surely be as my co-worker was fond of describing scootering in Taipei as "like a bad video game": priceless.
It's bedtime. I want to get up early and start riding before it gets hot. Update you from somewhere north of here (hopefully very far north).
