It was interesting seeing more of the country during the 4 hour journey East. However I would hope to hire a car and driver for long road trips in the future. Comfortable it was not!
The lush green of rice paddy fields.
The rest stop is beyond describing. Truly, even worse than you think.
There was a doctor's office and clinic next door and this X-ray was being read with the help of the sunshine.
Refreshments and snacks for sale.
The charming local lad sitting beside me offered to share his snack...I was tempted feeling it would be impolite to refuse until I discovered that he was eating crickets from this bag😩 .
We were pleasantly surprised with the comforts of the Emerald Hotel @ US$18 a night.
The hotel organised a Tuk Tuk for us and the driver was a delight. His English was excellent with a strong Australian accent. He had been born and spent his first twelve years in a refugee camp on the Thai border. He took us to a wonderful french restaurant Au Cabaret Vert for lunch. It was like stepping back in time.
Prawn mango salad.
