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.
