Day 117, 90km. By Chris:

We cycled away from Amphawa with coconut palm plantations either side of the road, some leaning worryingly, their ammunition of coconut cannonballs primed to break our necks. The palms soon gave way to flat, hot, grey salt pans stretching to the horizon. Hilarious motorised rolling pins that looked like the cars from 'The Flintstones' were being used to compact the salt. All afternoon the sun fried us - my forearms felt like they were on a grillpan, and I wished it to end. We finished at the popular beach town of Cha-am, where I was surprised but happy to find a cheap room for £8.
