We arrived back in Prachuap Khiri Khan today to enjoy a few more days at the beach.
The mini-bus dropped us at the van terminal outside town - which is approximately 45 minutes walk to the hotel. As there are no tourists here, you can't get a taxi and there are no Grabs (Ubers). The only option is a motorbike taxi which won't work with our luggage.
We had no choice. We took a large gulp of water in the 34 degree heat, turned on Google Maps and began to walk. It was mostly one straight main road to walk along. We thought, oh that's easy. Which was great until we saw the road split in two and the path disappear.
We worked out a short cut on the other side. But alas, after crossing the dual carriageway, we soon saw the path ended further along. Why? Because it is the railway line.
So what do you do in Asia? You pick up your luggage, look left and right, and walk across. There was no other option.
We managed to get ourselves to the train station to up a £2 tuk tuk sidecar for the remaining minutes of the journey. Suffice to say we both had a very hot shower when we arrived at the hotel!
This evening we hired a couple of old bikes on their last legs for a few days, and headed into town for dinner. We ended up eating with another couple perusing the menu when we arrived.
Lets just say they were very odd indeed, and hopefully we won't be bumping into them again. 🤣
