Bicycle Touring to Australia: Thailand, Udon Thani to Khon Kaen
My latest bicycle touring to Australia update: cycling through Thailand, Udon Thani to Khon Kaen. 76 miles. Cold start this morning. It was already 22 °C by 7 am! Nice flat, smooth ride along the main road today. It’s a bit like a motorway, except you’re allowed to cycle on it. The hard shoulder is like having my own lane! I made good progress along the smooth road, and I’d reached Khon Kaen by three. I struggled to find a hotel again today. I’ve not sussed the signs out yet.
It’s starting to get quite hot now. So it’s nice to find a hotel and finish early to get out of the sun. Because my course is south, the sun is directly overhead and doesn’t cast much of a shadow. I drink so much water, yet I’m permanently thirsty! I’m still not feeling that brilliant from having the shits the other day, and think I might have a slight temperature!
The dogs are also a bit more aggressive here, and they’re back to chasing me! (the first time since leaving Europe) Maybe that’s how I managed to finish so early!
