December 6, 2024 – Bangkok (BKK) – Bang Ka Nak – 56 kms – tt Residence

Ruth: Our ride from the airport was a delightful surprise. We connected with a bike path fairly quickly and then pocket earth guided us into a zig zag of small roads and raised concrete paths following canals. We only had to back track a few times. 

The land is pancake flat in this part of Thailand and water is everywhere. Arriving in Thailand just after the rains is stunning. The flowers line even the bigger highways, and water lilies spring up in the smallest ditch. In addition to lots of water birds we spotted a huge monitor lizard walking across a side road. 

On our first night in Thailand I heard my favourite mystery bird again. Now armed with my Merlin app, I was able to identify it as a Asian Koel, one of the many types of cuckoos in South East Asia. 

Gord’s knee is working well on the bike and the only complaints were coming from me about my out of shape muscles adapt to their new routine.
