Day 103, 55km:

It was overcast and a bit cooler today which made cycling much more pleasant. Since we had planned a relatively short day, a detour was too tempting when we saw a sign to a waterfall around lunchtime.
 
 
The waterfall was a pretty affair with a paddling area and picnic benches in the shade. We made perfect english sandwiches courtesy of 7eleven and rested until the heat of the day had passed before cycling the rest of the distance through flat rice paddies and rubber tree groves to Khun-Han. 
After checking into a motel we went to see the towns one tourist attraction: a temple coated in glass bottles. It was the vision of the abbot and over a million bottles were donated by the towns people to make it come true. Even the pictures and sculptures were made of bottle caps! Recycling at its best.
A temple of clarity
